"Galileo"
Shannon Down The Speed Of Light JC, CR, OTRM

"Quincy"
Burnt Sienna Midsummer Dream SC, OTR

And what a surprise it was!  This was an accidental breeding, Quincy jumped a fence to get to Gali and was tied within seconds - their tie only lasted a few seconds as well but Gali blessed us with 7 little babies!  She whelped 4 naturally before we had to take her in for a cesarean to deliver the last 3.  When they opened her up half her uterus had lost it's blood supply, so instead of taking a risk of leaving her intact and possibly developing pyometra, we had her spayed.  She recovered incredibly well and was the perfect mother and even though it wasn't planned, the puppies have impressed.  There is a Polish Champion, working on his International Championship.  There is also an ASFA FCh who finished in the ASFA Top 20 (2010).
