On 8th August we visited a lovely litter of puppies raised by Birgit & Cindy Ranson in Essex. Their bitch Xena has an excellent nature correct of the breed - she's very happy and proud of her puppies who have inherited much of her looks and character. She is in excellent condition and both mum and pups are a credit to their breeder Birgit who has raised them to be secure and confident with their many visitors.

One bitch is going to Ireland for show, one or two males will be shown in the UK and another to Bermuda. We imagined this combination would work well - pups have plenty of bone and substance, excellent underjaws, short coupled, super strong toplines, clean tailsets and dark, clear markings. Most importantly, open, confident characters. The combination concentrates on the strengths of two of the most important UK/European bred bitches of the past few years - UK, Lux & Dutch Ch Vonedstram The Vixen (Victor v Roveline x Gaindyke Tamarra at Vonedstram) and Europa Jugend Siegerin, Bel & Lux Winner, Dutch Ch Aritaur Dominatrix (Ger VDH Ch Ramonburgs Valdo x Crislea Centrefold of Aritaur). We look forward in anticipation to seeing how they develop. A fabulous litter to be proud of.
