Choosing a stud dog is always a challenge. I showed this dog, "Summit," to Grand Futurity in Kentucky. Later that week I also piloted him to Reserve Winner's Dog at the Samoyed Club of America's National Specialty. I love the dog, love how he moves, and he moved ME the first time I saw him, which not a lot of dogs do! It takes something very special...
When you love a dog, the rule is to breed to his sire....
So the choice to sire Paris' puppies turned to Ch Hawkwind's Alabaster Carrara, shown here going Best of Breed (both days) over BISS specials for majors in Minnesota.
Alabaster is a rock used for carving statues of perfection, and Carrara is the quarry where the marble for Michaelangelo's David was mined.
The logistics to getting to this dog had it's complications as a lot of the Hawkwind dogs are not at public stud, and certainly not this one. But we got through the red tape and the babies are here! I'm very excited!
