About Chava

Chava is an AKC-registered purebred Bernese Mountain Dog.  She is the sweetest dog around.  Chava is all love and sometimes isn’t aware of her own size.  She loves to lean in for some love, all 92 pounds of her, and who can resist?  Her coloring is absolutely stunning.  Her coat has a beautiful sheen.  The copper shimmers in the sunlight against the black and white of her coat.  Chava is light on her feet, despite her size, and has beautiful conformation.  She is a wonderful mother who really tends to her puppies.

Luna had her first litter on her second heat.  It was a gorgeous litter.  This first-time mother had all the right instincts.  She transitioned smoothly from being a carefree youngster to being an excellent mother whose first priority was her puppies. 

Stella

Breed:  American Cocker Spaniel

AKC Name:  Sparkling Stella of Bluff Country

Born: June 4, 2019

Stella is clear for all tested genetic conditions except one.  According to her Embark test, she is a carrier for a condition called Exercise-Induced Collapse.  As a carrier, she will never have the condition, nor will any of her offspring since we only breed to an all-clear male.   This is great since Stella loves to romp around.

About Stella

Stella is a purebred AKC-registered American Cocker Spaniel.  This girl is a joy.  She is playful and loves to run in the yard, playing with her mates and chasing balls.  She always looks over her shoulder to see if one of us humans is ready to engage.  We picked Stella and her sister Luna after a long and careful search for two puppies that would resemble our Lacey, both in looks and personality.  Stella is a beautiful girl, with freckles and the softest coat in shades of apricot, cream, and white.  Stella had her first litter in late 2020.

Ruby

Breed:  American Cocker Spaniel

AKC Name:  Ruby the Reveler of Bluff Country

Born: July 7, 2020

Height:  

Weight: 22 pounds

 

Health Testing:
Ruby is a great example of a strong and healthy cocker spaniel.  She is clear for 200-some genetic conditions, including those that are common to her breed.  Like almost all cocker spaniels, she has an increased risk of CCDY/IVDD, but most often the gene does not express itself in terms of clinical symptoms.  Ruby’s beautiful coloring stems from the fact that she carries one copy of the merle gene and two of the piebald gene.

About Ruby

Ruby is is the daughter of our beloved Lacey.  In fact, when Lacey was almost ready to retire, we chose to have a litter of purebred cocker spaniels, just to allow us to keep a puppy so that we could continue to carry those wonderful genes forward.  Ruby is simply gorgeous.  She is white with a black mask, black patches, and ears overlaid with silver.  Her copper eyebrows add charm to her friendly face.  Ruby is playful and energetic and loves explore.  There is always room in her schedule for some snuggle time with her humans.
