Ch C-Myste Baledwr Pursuit of
Happiness (Chase) Ch Merrymoon Firestorm x Ch Mariel Reese's Alice Springs | Introducing
Chase the Amazing Puppy. He is the only pup we have ever bred
to manage not one but two 5-point majors in a single day, combined
with a breed over specials and a group placement. He finished his
championship from the puppy classes before he was 10 months old! Chase is owned by and lives with Penni Adrian of Albuquerque, NM. Visit him on Penni's blog and watch his exploits as he grows up. | |

lovely girl. You can visit her and her family on Shelley's blog. | |

was the first to finish out of our TM x Alice litter. Alas
his hips did not pass and he is now placed and happily living with
Geraldine Rivera and her husband Bill Deaton in Albuquerque, NM. I have many entries for Digger on my blog. | ||

handled to his championship by Elfie, including three majors. Picture by Mari Aalto, May 2007. | |
CH C-Myste Kahlua'n Cream (Kayla) | Kayla
started life as "my girl" and had 5 points out of Bred-by exhibitor as
a puppy. Unfortunately when Alice came to live with us, the two
disagreed about who would be my number one. So Kayla went to live
with - and be co-owned with - Léo-Cadie Washburn. After a hiatus from the ring, Kayla came back in grand fashion. She was WB for a 5-point major at the supported entry in Richland, WA September of 2008. She then followed it up with 3 more majors in two weekends in November, 2008. Kayla has a lovely front piece and shoulder and is OFA good. We have plans to breed her spring of 2009. You can visit Kayla on Léo's blog. | |

is the special friend of Louise Sargent, Wolfrun
Cardis in Dufur, OR. Visit Bilbo's web page. | |
| While we did not
finish Klark's championship I am
including
his picture as so many people have his descendants. He had
strong
virtues which we needed to add, especially head, scope, tailset, and
angles. He did not care for the whole dog-show experience. Come to think of it, not so different from his half-sister Phoebe. Klark is retired and lives with Jenny and Bill in Portland, OR. |
||
| Fearna lives with Julie Bell & family in the Seattle area. We elected not to breed her when she did not pass OFA. She was in heat when the x-rays were done, and at times I kick myself that we didn't resubmit them. | ||
| Duncan is owned by Alden Murray of Napa, CA. He is the sire of Ch C-Myste Bahama Mama and of C-Myste Kamikaze multi-titled performance dog and tv celebrity. Duncan finished his championship out of the puppy classes in just a few weekends of showing. | ||
| Juneau was our first special and our first real
tragedy.
He went down in the back at the height of his career, on New
Years' weekend when he was just short of 5 years old. After
surgery, he lived for another 2.5 years before we lost him to a further
degeneration in August of 2003. I learned many things from Juneau, some of them things I would have prefered not to learn.  Juneau in his cart at the 2003 CWCCA National Specialty | ||
 | Tess was the original "keeper" from our first
litter.
She finished her championship quickly and easily, including
placements over specials. Her single litter to Phi-Vestavia
Kallel gave us three champions and a legacy to build on. Tess's special talents included climbing trees and fences. She retired to a home in Portland with a tall fence. |
|
 | Litter sister of Tess, Kacy, Dru, and Hughie.

finishing her championship and coming home, Wendy went to live in an
only-dog household in Medford. | |

Spencer is a brindle-pointed
black who is owned by Susan Bemus in Missouri. His dam Cindy is a full sister to Julie and a litter sister to Ch Spyrock All Things Considered (Connor) who lives with Nancy Moncrieff in Carson City, NV.. | |
| Marcy is a cute little girl who
did not appreciate
being a
mother. She had a single litter of two surviving puppies, one
of
who was Ch Baledwr Almost Famous. Marcy's true goal in life was to be a cute little pet, so Mandy traded Tavia Ewen co-ownership of Marcy for co-ownership of Phoebe. Phoebe now is Carolyn's pet. Or maybe Carolyn is Phoebe's pet? |
