Shorty & his Daughter "Spirit"

OUR FOUNDATION MALE:
We purchased Shorty from Susie Bible as an 11 month-old
finished champion.  Shorty has been the most wonderful
dog anyone could ever dream of.  He has the most gentle,
loving temperament of any schipperke we have ever met!

He earned 2 AKC obedience titles, and was also a retired
therapy dog.  He produced lovely puppies, with excellent
temperaments.  As of May 2007, Shorty has sired 12 AKC
champions, two of which are also  Canadian Champions,
and another of which is also a New Zealand Champion.

Shorty passed away in August, 2007, and left a huge hole in
our hearts.  We will continue his legacy thru frozen sperm
over the next decade.
