Both sire and dam are amongst Australia's top winning Keeshonds.  To say the least, Bair is a multi all breeds Best in Show winning Keeshond and Scully a multi specialty Best in Show winner.  Together, their puppies are expected to follow in their foot-steps!  Bair has produced excellent quality puppies in past matings and this is Scully's first litter.

On 19 September 1999 at the Keeshond Club of Victoria's 32^nd Championship Show with 105 Keeshonds entered (the largest Keeshond entry ever exhibited in Victoria, Australia), both Sire and Dam were exhibited under world renowned Keeshond breeder, exhibitor and judge, Mrs Kathy Stewart of Klompen Keeshonds (Alberta, Canada).  Below are her comments and placing's of the two Keeshonds at this show.

Kathy wrote about the show in general:

"... There were several that I liked well enough that I would have taken home with me without a moment's thought ... the dogs had wonderful colouring, pleasing expressions, with dark eyes and dark pigment, and full coats.  It was so nice to see dogs shown in their natural state ... As a breeder, it is always a delight to find good quality in bitches and the veterans.  To me, this indicates that not only have you had great dogs in the past, but also you have what it takes to produce the best in the future.  I wish the breeders continued success in this regard."

Sire: BIS & BISS Australian Grand Champion Kerjoydon Earl O Hearts (Bair)
(DOB: 22 June 1992)
Best Veteran in Show

Kathy wrote about the class:

"This class brought tears to my eyes.  There were nine dogs, all in such wonderful shape, from 7 to 11 years of age.  I was very pleased with the class, as a whole - sound dogs, pretty and showy.  It was too bad I could not give out more ribbons."

Kathy wrote about Bair:

"I wish this dog had been entered in my regular classes.  He took my breath away, and I would have taken him home in a minute, if permitted.  He is an exceptionally nice dog with pretty definition, lovely coat, very pretty face, and lovely movement - hard to fault."

Dam: BIS & BISS Australian Champion Rymist Sugar N Spice (Scully)
(DOB: 8 December 1997)
BEST EXHIBIT IN SHOW, Best Open in Show, Best Brace in Show (with full brother Australian Champion Rymist Dealers Choice) and Bitch Challenge Certificate

Kathy wrote about the class:

"If I had to choose a favourite class to judge, this would be it."

Kathy wrote about Scully:

"My ultimate Challenge winner - Overall a very nice bitch with exceptional colouring, beautiful silhouette, lovely topline, clean lower legs and feet, pretty colour definition, lovely tail set, nice moving, could use more pronounced spectacles."

Thanks Kathy for recognising the quality of these great Australian Keeshonds.

Thanks to Joy and Kerrie Rau for allowing us the privilege of using Bair at stud to our Scully.
