I started out with just two lovely dogs........niether one meant for the show ring. A wise, long-time breeder once told me years ago

"Not all dogs are meant to be show dogs, some are meant to be "producers" of show dogs." It is with fond memory that I present the two wonderful animals that started the journey for me. I did not breed them together because of their color..........I bred them for their conformation
and outstanding pedigrees. They produced 4 superbly marked mantle pups, one of which went on to be my first AKC Champion...

Ch. DaVinci's Leather And Lace, CGC, and two of the boys are AKC Pointed.
I LOVE AND MISS BOTH OF THEM DEARLY.
