Ego is a lovely fawn boy, and we could not be happier with him! He has been a wonderful addition to our family!! He was born on March 21, 2020, our of our GCH Ripley's very first litter. (Ripley aka GCH Tailcreeks Ripley of Eastwind x Graham aka CH Stonehaven's Oxfords Talk of the Town). Ego and his siblings were born in March during the height of the pandemic! To say this year has been challenging would be an understatement! All of the dogs show careers have started very slowly as a result, and finding majors locally has been a true challenge! **update** On Oct 16, 17 and 18, 2020 this young dog attended to his first shows! At 6.5 months he made us incredibly proud and gave us a good idea of what to expect in the future! He went in the ring with a Junior handler, Miss Skylar Finn, and was simply amazing! Happy, silly, and definitely at times comical... his tail never stopped! This boy was everything we hoped for in this breeding temperament wise, and just outstanding with his handler who did a truly great job wrangling this silly 162lb 6.5month old!!!! At the end of the three days, he was looking like a true show dog! Never taking less than third in his age class, and winning his class TWICE, he is showing beautifully, he really impressed us all!! We were especially happy that Shannon Daniels, owner of his dad Graham, was able to travel to the show and watch his debut!! Thank you for coming Shannon! It was so wonderful to finally meet you in person!! A huge "thank you" to Shannon for making this breeding possible! She was amazing to deal with, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Ego has parents who are clear for DM, Cystinuria, PRA, CMR, so he is already 'clear by parentage' for many things. We will still be doing his testing as we go along... but so far, we are very happy with how this young boy is developing, both physically and mentally! OFA and Health Testing DNA: fluffy gene-clear DM-clear PRA-clear CMR-clear Vwb-clear HU-clear cystinuria-(1-1) clear _____________ cardiac-good patella-normal genetic thyroid-normal ______________ OFA hips Good OFA elbows Normal OFA LINK I AM A MASTERPIECE (ofa.org) Ego's DNA profile is complete and on file with the AKC, American Kennel Club. *Other health testing results pending, we have not been able to find a local facility that will do either CAER or echo for pre-breeding exams. We are hoping to get these done at a clinic or show. |
