UKC CH "Royal Steel Blue Sky" OFA PennHIP
 was bred to
BIMBS BISS AWSA/WSCC CH, UKC GRCH, U-CDX "ROYAL VON TASZ CLASSIC" CDX
(aka Polo)
the week before Christmas, 2004 and...
THE PUPPIES ARE ALL sold... sorry.
There was amazing interest and demand for the pups from this litter - all justified as the all-around
quality is remarkably high.  I expect we will be repeating this breeding, but we are not decided yet whether to experiment with another sire first or go for another home run litter with Polo.

In the meantime, see some AMAZING professional photos here:

Sky whelped 9 healthy pups on Feb. 15, 2005.  There are 4 males and 5 females in this litter and the delivery couldn't have gone more smoothly.  Sky continues to demonstrate her excellent maternal instincts, leaving me little to do but be unnecessarily concerned.  After the 6th pup was born at 11:30am, I began to relax and took a nap.  When I woke an hour later, #7 was all cleaned up and nursing with the rest. 

Based upon the outstanding results of Sky's first litter with Polo's full brother, Cruise, I expected this 2nd litter to be truly hard to beat and I have not been disappointed.  The entire litter was evaluated to be show quality.
The sire of this litter is unquestionably one of the most oustanding and accomplished White Shepherds ever.  I expect this litter to develop bright white coats, jet black pigment, standard setting structures, and confident, fantastic personalities.  So far I am very pleased and the new puppy owners are ecstatic.  4/15/05
