1/20/20 – Kenya has been bred to GCH CH Tiara Set Fire To The Rain CD RE CAA RATO CGC TKA (Flame). He is sired by “Dutch” (BOS at 2013 ABTC Nationals), who is a full brother to Michelle Edling’s (Sky Acres) “Tripp” – the #1 Belgian for the last 5 years! Flame’s mother, Cinder, is a Grand Champion with titles in obedience, rally, herding, lure coursing, and barn hunt, among others. She is also a working Therapy Dog. Cinder’s sister, Poppy, is a third-generation Dual Champion (herding and conformation). These should be beautiful and versatile puppies with sound temperaments! See the ABTC Registry website – run a 7-generation pedigree on both to see ancestors in common. Puppies expected to be whelped in late March.
