The 2010 ESSFTA Show Dog of the Year bred to our Group placing, Best in Sweepstakes winning female! This breeding represents the blending of some of the most select bloodlines in the country. Both of the parents come from bloodlines that are strong in obtaining health clearances for clean hips and eyes, as well as being top show winners. The parents are both x-rayed clear of hip dysplasia and certified clear of inherited eye problems as well as inherited heart problems. "Titus" is further certified clear of thyroid disease, patella problems and is PRA DNA tested Normal for the gene that may lead to blindness. PEDIGREE for this "Titus" and "Mindy" litter. For a little background, the father of the litter - "Titus" - is best known as being the Best of Breed winner at both the 2010 and 2011 Westminster Kennel Club dog show held each February at Madison Square Garden in NYC. This is the most prestigious dog show in the US - it is our Kentucky Derby! To watch "Titus" in action at the televised 2011 Westminster, follow this link: "Titus at Westminster" "Titus" is the first springer you will see in this video, as he leads the pack around the ring, handled by Jody Paquette, in a beige suit. In addition to winning Best of Breed at Westminster for two years in a row, Titus was awarded the prestigious Show Dog of the Year Award from our Breed Parent Club, the ESSFTA, in 2010. He is the winner of 13 Specialty Best of Breed Awards, and is a multiple Best in Show winner. For more information about his top winning bloodlines, please contact us. "Titus" is owned by Laurie Green, Erline Jesseman, Erica Berkshire and Janice Johnson. He is professionally shown by Jody Paquette. He was bred by Erica and Janice Johnson. The mother of this January litter is our beautiful AKC and UKC Champion Northgate's Tell It My Way, OFA hips/heart, CERF, aka "Mindy." "Mindy" completed her AKC championship with back to back majors which included a Best of Breed from the classes over the top winning ESS female in the country, and went on to a Group 4 breeder/owner/handled from the classes. She was Reserve Winners Bitch to a 5 point Supported Entry major from the puppy class, and is a Best in Specialty Sweepstakes winner. "Mindy" is one of four AKC champions produced by her mother, Ch. Northgate's Time Will Tell, OFA, CERF, aka "Missy." While Mindy has never had the honor of being on national television like "Titus" has, Mindy's mother has! Her mother, Missy, won Best of Breed at the National Dog Show a few years ago and her win was televised on NBC TV right after the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. To see Missy and I on TV, click here: "Missy and I on TV!" Beware - you might have to watch a commercial while the video loads! There is much more to Mindy than portrayed here, but for brevity's sake, you can see more about Mindy and her champion brother, Shamus, here: Mindy and Shamus , or contact us. We fully expect these puppies to be extremely gentle and very loving, with charming and amusing personalities much like their parents. Mindy has never met a stranger and will greet you with a smile and a kiss when you come to visit! We anticipate several puppies will be available only to show homes, and others will be available to approved homes as family companions. ==================== Be sure to visit our Happy Owners to see photos of versatile Northgate puppies with their new families. ==================== CONTACT US FOR INFORMATION ON THIS AND FUTURE LITTERS! ==================== Before we ever do a breeding here at Northgate, we carefully perform health checks and screenings on the prospective parents to make sure that they are as free as possible of any potential inherited health problems that could be passed along to their puppies. We screen for conditions such as hip dysplasia, eye diseases such as retinal dysplasia, PRA, PFK, heart problems, and other health concerns. Our dogs are OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) certified clear of hip dysplasia once they reach two years of age and are eye checked regularly by veterinary ophthalmologists, then registered with CERF (Canine Eye Registration Foundation). Friendly, stable temperament is a priority in our breeding program. Northgate puppies are raised in our home with children and friends of children stopping by constantly, and receive lots of daily attention and socialization. |
