Mallory joined our family as a 3 month old pup in May 1995. She was bred by Bea Sawka and Brigitte Nowak, and had been a long awaited addition for us. She grew up into a lovely adult, finishing her championship easily with a group placement from the classes along the way, and she would go on to win other group placings in limited showing as a special. She was intended as a valuable addition to our breeding program, but unfortunately we were never able to get puppies from her. Now 11 years old she's destined to remain simply a beautiful and much loved companion, and occasional show dog.

Yancey was a standout from birth, the 8th pup in a litter of 8. We had been so pleased with the Ligier x Moonie pups that we bred Ashton to Moonie for her second litter. Yancey took the show ring by storm as a puppy, finishing her championship in only 7 shows at the age of 10 months, going Winners Bitch every time she was shown, and going Best of Winners all but once. At 11 months she was shown a few times as a special and took Best of Breed each time, defeating other specials and much older dogs, and also won a Best Puppy in Group to cap off her puppy career just a few days before her first birthday. Her brother Rascal also finished his championship, and her sister Emma is a certified therapy dog who makes regular nursing home visits.

Yancey whelped her first litter at the age of 5 (January 2001) and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. Check out 'Our 2001 Litter' and 'Danni's page' to see for yourself! She had her 2nd and final litter in April 2002, a repeat of that breeding. That litter can be seen on the 2002 Litter page.
