On January 20, 2005, our first litter was born, and Geraldo is one of the puppies that we kept from that litter. Geraldo was the third puppy born, and he was loud and flashy from the get go! He was already nursing vigorously before his dam had even removed the lower half of his sac.

We love this handsome bi-blue boy! He is a wonderful blend of his sire (A/C Ch Kelbren Blue Flame, CD, RN, NAJ, AJP, CGC, CTL1-S, CTL1-F ) and dam (Shamont Most Unusual Day, NAJ), and he's a joy to show and to live with.

Geraldo has always been quite photogenic, and here are some of our favorite photos of him:

Geraldo has been having lots of fun in the agility ring. He has 31 QQ's and needs less than 100 points to finish his MACH. See the "What's New" page for details!

Geraldo was Winner's Dog under William Usherwood for his first two points on Mother's Day 2007.  Those were our first homebred points, and we were quite excited about them.  Our heartfelt thanks go out to Linda Urbanek for showing Geraldo to that win.  After taking some time off to mature and to do agility with me, Geraldo hit the conformation ring again and quickly picked up seven more points under the expert guidance of Judy Stachowski.    

Flash:  Geraldo was 2nd in the Open Blue Class under Dorothy Christensen at the 2009 ASSA National in Perry, GA!  It was such a thrill for us when she pulled Geraldo and his handler (Judy Stachowski) out of the lineup and moved them into second place.

In short order, Geraldo followed up his placement at the National by winning a four point major under June Penta with his good friend, Elaine Kelvington, at the end of the lead.  One month later, he and Judy Stachowski walked back in the ring again and won his second major under Ralph (Sonny) Ambrosio.  Geraldo is our first homebred champion, and we're very excited about his future!! 

We're eagerly anticipating the completion of Geraldo's MACH, and once it's finished, we'll start working on some additional titles for the end of his name!!

Please check back often for new photos and updates on what Geraldo has been doing.
