Verde's kids......
now the sire of five U.S. Champions.....
With limited use, Verde has been dazzling us with quality-packed litters that often have more than one keeper.
Thank you so much to the people that have sent their lovely bitches to this young stud dog. 
Afterall, it takes two to tango!

As you might assume, we are VERY pleased with the consistency in the litters...see below...
 
 
 
 
 
 
Loyal Book Mark  (Verde x Loyal Book End, by Ch. Apple Acres Black Book out of Kismet/Loyal bred bitch)

"Mark" is a cutie that was bred by  Ponder and Jo Virden, in Scottsdale, Arizona.  He is little (14" at 10 months), but "mighty!"
 
CH CARMYLIE NANDINA 'SCUSE MY DUST
"RACER"

Verde's first Champion, from his first litter!

"
Racer" placed in his class at the National in '03, and soon after acquired his U.S. Championship in short order!  Bred by Jean Simmonds, Carmylie Shelties, he is now siring beautiful puppies of his own, for owner, Pam Harmon, Charlotte, NC.

The blue bitch to the left (now finished) and the tri above, are just two of the littermates of four that are in show homes from Patty Page's lovely "Splash", bred to Verde.  The three sisters that were shown at the 2005 National made their cuts, and the above tri, Rayna, placed in quality-packed classes, in both Regular and Futurity.  See National photos.
These girls are stunning - and I hear there is a boy that is also very nice!!!
