... OUR GIRLS

“BRIANN”                                                                                                                                                           Briann vom Trieste BH AD CD TD TT CGN  (DOB:  August 2003) handler:  Emmanuelle Porter        breeder:  Peter & Rachel Haslett, Canada * view pedigree * * photo gallery *                           UPDATE!  2007 - Bri and Emm are still training and having fun together, watch for her in the CDX  ring to complete her title.

“FRANZI”                                                                                                                                                               Ch V Franziska aus dem Voβmoor SchH3 Kkl1lbz CDX TD TT HIC  (DOB:  September 1998) handler:  Rachel Haslett breeder:  Harald Stüven, Germany * view pedigree * * Franzi’s trip to Canada (story)* * photo gallery *  UPDATE!  Just turned 9 fall 2007... we are unsure where she will land, possibly see her compete for  UD (Utility Dog) obedience title, as well as an agility title in 2008.

 

“DAX”                                                                       Giant Schnauzer                               Ch Skansen’s Royal Portrait CD TT TDI CGN (March 1996 - August 2006) handler:  Rachel Haslett              breeder:  Sylvia Hammarstrom, USA DAX!   She was my University graduation present.  An ambassador to the breed with her beauty , brain and wonderfully playful disposition, she was a consistent group placer in the conformation ring, an enthusiastic obedience pupil, and a somewhat over zealous agility performer.  But mostly, a reliable and devoted companion.  She was retired from the show ring after her 2001 season where she finished #4 Giant in Canada.  Her breeding and competitive career was cut short due to pyometra at a young age... NOTE:  We have no Giants in the kennel at this time, although we are still actively involved with several Giants as grooming and training clients.  It was our decision to wait until our children were a little older (and in school) before owning another Giant.  Why?  Grooming... I do not feel that I have time right now to keep a Giant in proper coat condition.  I've also recently been offered some great German Shepherds, opportunities of a life time which were hard to pass up.  But please check back, as there will be other Giants in our kennel!
