Every breeder's dream is to breed  beautiful dogs that people recognize and identify.  The goal is consistency.  This goal cannot be uncoupled from the goal of producing dogs with excellent,  sound temperaments and dogs that are healthy, and long lived .  The above picture is of three dogs from 3 different litters and 3 different dams.  This was one of our proudest days
