First litter planned!

Southern Lights Standard Schnauzers is pleased to announce the planned breeding of our first liter (pending remaining health clearances). Puppies are expected in Winter 2014.

Dam:   GCH Stahlkrieger Comanches Dream Catcher             



"Remi"
 (CH Geistvoll Double Diamond x GCH Stahlkrieger's Red Red Rose)

CHIC#99102
CHIC # SC-DNA- 441/S
OFA HIP# SC-4300E27F-VPI Excellent
OFA DCM # SC-DCM258/28F Negative
OFA Thyroid #TH108/27F-VPI: Normal 
CERF# SC-EYE153/31F-VPI

Remi finished the year (2013) as the #19 Standard Schnauzer (#7 Bitch) in AKC Grand Champion points with only 6 months of showing last year. She is a large, eye catching bitch with high energy and a sweet temperament. - our Rally/Agility instructor (a nationally well known judge) often complements her intensity and her sharp skill execution. We have never entered competitive performance events but I do train both the dogs for fun.

"Kord"
 (CH Stahlkrieger's Undefeatable x CH Stahlkrieger's Perfect Ten)
   
CHIC # SC-DNA- 440/S
         OFA HIP# SC-4031G24M-VPI  Good
         OFA DCM # SC-DCM218/57M-VPI Negative
         OFA Caridac# SC-CA38/12M/P-VPI: Normal 
         OFA Patella #SC-PA3/12M/P-VPI: Normal
         CERF#SC-935/2010-13

Kord is a natural show dog. He loves attention, his tail never quits wagging and he just shines in the ring. He earned his CGC and his AKC Champion titles at under one year of age. I have not entered Kord in any competitive performance events but have trained him for obedience and Agility. Both instructors (nationally known) have complemented Kord's work ethic and desire to please. Kord has also been herding instinct tested and passed. A video of the actual test is included in an earlier blog post. Again the evaluator was very complementary of calmness around the sheep (this was his first and only exposure to them), and his natural circling action. She said that she thought he would do well as a herding dog with some training. Unfortunately the school is about 3 hours from my home and we were unable to continue training for that sport.

Houston World Series of Dog Shows 2014

Although Remi will be breed soon, I decided to enter her in the Houston World Series of Dog Shows event this weekend for fun. I am so glad I did. She was entered only 3 days out of 5 and this was only the second time I have shown her myself.

She finished the weekend Best of Opposite Sex today for a major win and was also Select Bitch on Friday.

I am so proud of my girl. - stay tuned for pictures which will be added as an update as soon as they are received.
