Sire Line:
Rudy's pedigree combines three
powerful sire lines. The first through his sire Ch. Keeshee
Lock Stock'N Barrel and his paternal grandsire, Can. Am. Ch.
Keesbrook's Believe Magic, ROMX. This sire line is currently the most
successful producer of All Breed Best in Show in Keeshonden in the
world and one of the most successful sire lines in current day
Keeshonden. Individuals representing this line include Ch. Skyline
Unit of Measure, “Cubit”, an all breed Best in Show dog and
winner of the KCA National Specialty. Cubit is currently the number 1
Keeshond in United States, a Keillor son Ch. Daimler Caviar Dreams,
is also an all breed Best in Show Dog and Multiple Best in Specialty
winner, and currently holds the title for most specialties won by a
Keeshond, another Keillor son, Ch. Keemont's Skyline Game Boy,
“Ferris”, is a winner of multiple Keeshond specialties both in
the United States and England, where he also placed in the Group at
Crufts. Ferris, in turn has sired multiple winning Keeshonden
including the aforementioned “Cubit” in the United States, Ch.
Arctic Kees Best Kept Secret in Ireland, and multiple winners and
Champions in United States, England, and Europe.
Keillor is
known for his outstanding biddable temperament and ability to get
along with other dogs. He generously passes this on to his get. He is
a short backed dog with refined type and exceptional reach of neck.
Keillor's dam is Can. Am. Ch. Keesheee's Sparks a Flying, CHOF, an
outstanding show bitch and producer. A feminine bitch with substance,
outline, and a well set on arched neck.
Rudy's second
sire line comes in through his dam Ch. Foxfair Valentina, who carries
the outstanding
producer Ch. Foxfair Eveready, HOF, ROM, CDX, “Evan” on both
sides of her dam's pedigree. Evan is a descendant of both Ch. Foxfair
Persuasive Friend, ROMX, HOF, BIS and his brother Ch. Foxfair Special
Sparkle. These litter brothers when combined in a pedigree have
produced a number of exceptional individuals.
The third sire
line represented in this pedigree through Rudy's dam's sire Ch.
Trumpet's Mr Bojangles, is that of Ch. Windrift's Summertime Blues,
HOF, ROMX. A son of the English Import Am. Ch. Keesland Outlaw, this
dog has bred on for both Windrift, Trumpet, and other Keeshonden
breeders. He is behind many of the top winners today.
Interestingly,
Rudy, also traces to another grand old dog in the pedigrees, that of
his co-owner Heather Myers. This is Ch. Brynhaven Final Edition,
“Bear”, who was key in the pedigrees of many of the very
successful Hall of Fame Cara dogs. It fascinating to see in a
pedigree like this how the contributions of many dedicated breeders
weave together to produce our current day outstanding dogs.
Dam Line:
Ch. Foxfair Valentina, Inbreeding co-efficient 5.00%, is sired by Am.
Ch. Trumpet's Mr. Bojangles, “Dylan”. Dylan won Best of Breed at
the KCA National Specialty, shown by Wade Koistinen. A lovely correct
dog, with a beautiful outline, substance and type. He in turn was
sired by Am. Can. Ch. Trumpet's Send in the Clowns, HOF, “Asher”,
a very successful sire for Trumpet Keeshonden, who has passed on his
substance and type for generations. Most of the current Trumpet dogs
trace to “Asher”.
Valentina
is a 17” Keeshond bitch with a beautiful outline, length of neck
and silver color. She is representative of this bitch line in her
beautiful type, color and outline.
Valentina's
litter sister Ch. Foxfair Impetuous, NAJ, RAE, was RWB at the KCA
National Specialty. Her dam, Ch. Foxfair Zarya was also RWB from the
Bred by Exhibitor Class at the KCA National Specialty (there is a
pattern here).
Zarya
is sired by Am. Can. Ch. Designer Foxfair Debonaire, CD, CGC, “Pete”
was the winner of the Canadian National Keeshond Specialty, and the
Heritage Trail Specialty. His dam is Ch. Windrift's High Society,
ROMX, BIS, BISS, “Snootie.”
Snootie
is one of the top winning Keeshond bitches of all time. Owned by Rita
Jacobs and shown by Joanne Reed. She was the foundation for Designer
Keeshonden. She won the KCA National Futurity, the KCA National
Specialty, and an All Breed Best in Show, ROMX, and Hall of Fame. To
date no other Keeshond bitch has achieved this record.
Snootie
is sired by Ch. Foxfair Persuasive Friend, BIS, BISS, ROMX,
“Friendly”. Another “Friendly” daughter is the top producing
Keeshond bitch of all time, Ch. Jo-Lynn's Flaming Ember, ROMX, owned
by Janit Johnson, her record stands today.
Ch. Foxfair
Eveready, HOF, ROM, CDX, “Evan” is the sire of “Pete”. Evan
is the son of Friendly's litter brother Ch. Foxfair Special Sparkle,
“Sparky” was a multiple Group 1 winner. Evan carried a lovely
coat of correct texture and color, he was an excellent mover and was
known for his outstanding head type which was used in several
Keeshond Illustrations, and videos.
Interestingly
both Ch. Foxfair Valentina on Rudy's dam side and Ch. Keeshee Sparks
A Flying, CHOF on his sire's side trace to Ch. Vaakers Mary Poppins,
ROM, the Foxfair foundation bitch, herself, you guessed it, RWB at
the KCA National Specialty. She is behind many current day Keeshonden
through her sons Ch. Foxfair Persuasive Friend, ROMX, and Ch. Foxfair
Special Sparkle and her daughter, Ch. Foxfair Popover Peaches (5
Champions).
Summary:
Rudy's pedigree combines some of
the key producing sire and dam lines in North America. Some of these
lines, particularly through his great grand sire Ch. Keesland Outlaw,
and his dam tracing to Ch. Foxfair Persuasive Friend and Ch. Foxfair
Special Sparkle represent the best of the Rhinevale and Keesland
breeding from England. These combined with some of the best North
American and Canadian breeding have led us to the fortunate outcome
of Rudy and his litter mates.
Rudy's
has produced one litter from Ch. Nightwind Foxfair Trillium, “April”
a daughter of Am. Can. Ch. Foxfair Excalibur. It was her last litter
of three puppies. We retained one puppy for show, the specialty
winning Ch. Foxfair Virginia Dare, “Ginny”. The night Ginny was
born Joan Dean and Virginia Marsh were at the house visiting from
England. Joan and Gina stayed up and helped whelp the litter. Ginny
is Gina's namesake. She finished her Championship by winning Best of
Opposite over multiple bitch specials at the 2013, Buckeye Keeshond
Club Specialty show. A chip off the block really in both attitude
and accomplishment!
Rudy recently
produced a singleton son with GCH Keenorth All About You Haiti, HOF,
BISS, this was from a single breeding following their meeting at
Westminster. Their male puppy is 2 weeks old and a repeat breeding is
planned. Haiti was the number one Keeshond show bitch in the US for
2013, she is breeder owner handled by Elizabeth Fortino.
