Litter Announcement!

From the day we knew Holly would be staying here, I have been playing around with possible
match-ups in my head for her. In October of 2009, I had the opportunity to meet Amy Dorsch in
person, along with Rudy at the NC ES Gathering. At my request Amy brought Rudy with her instead
of one of her other dogs. I really wanted to see if Rudy was everything I thought he was just from
looking at his pictures. Boy, was he ever!
I knew at that point, Holly & I would make a road trip to IL to make this breeding happen. I just
didn't know it would be for her first litter. She and I packed up the van early one Tuesday morning
at the end of June and drove two days straight to arrive at Stockton late the following afternoon.
I was welcomed at Amy's house that evening when we went out to introduce the dogs. What I saw
regarding Rudy during the time I was there just confirmed everything in my mind that this was the
right thing to have done. Both Holly & Rudy are my Bec's grandpups and will be "building" on her
temperament through their puppies. Rudy's sire, Sawyer, came from our second litter here, which
was the black and tan litter with Rex. Holly's sire, Dillon, came from our first litter here with Russ
(Jarratt line). Both Sawyer and Dillon have proven themselves over the years with their
temperament, good sense and great hips. Both boys are also "smilers" even though Rudy & Holly
aren't. So this trait may pop up in this litter since I have seen it skip a generation around here.
So far I have liked what I see in Holly. She is a quiet, easy moving herder and still has a way to go to
be able to work a little more independently, but I feel that this will come with maturity. Her
attitude toward people is generally one of friendliness. Her temperament has been excellent. She,
like Dillon, possesses the "policing" aspect of the ES breed - they are both into rules and making
sure that the peace is maintained at our house. Watching her with Scout (Hunter) last year showed
me her nuturing side with young pups. While we were at Amy's, I also was able to see how she would
react around young children. Amy's youngest is 3 years old and he was able to interact with Holly
without any issues. Holly also is a great English Shadow - likes her people and wants to interact with
them.
With a Rudy breeding I am striving to produce puppies that will work stock, have rock solid
temperaments, and be easy on the eyes to look at as well. I expect these pups to bond closely to
their families and hopefully be that once in a lifetime dog. If you are interested in a pup from this
litter, please contact me. I will send you a questionnaire and we can talk further. I am very excited
about this litter and the potential that these pups will possess.
