"MADELINE"

Pictured at 4 1/2 years of age just before whelping her first litter of 10 pups.

"Madeline" is a beautiful blue daughter of "Windy" and "Mickey", and like her dam has already produced a very large litter.   Maddy is a working farm dog, helping owner Linda Zook with chores in the barns and around the farm, as well as being a very beloved companion, however since Linda's husband took a bad fall, breaking his back, we have been assisting in the breeding, raising, and marketing of her puppies.  

It had been planned that "Madeline" would be shown on the International Show Circuit sometime in 2004, unfortunately priorities had to change after the accident, however three of Madeline's littermates have their International Champion Titles, as do both her sire and dam, and grandsire and granddam..  

"Maddy" was retired from breeding in late 2006, but Linda has a "Kit" daughter to carry on the legacy.

"Madeline" was bred in 2006 for her last litter to International CH Friendships Pepik "Kit" and produced a lovely litter of black and brown puppies.   Click on the buttons for the parent page and puppy pictures from the MD4 litter.

"Maddy" was bred to Chocolate Covered Calvin, a beautiful young soft brown male for her 2005 litter.  

           

.   

She was bred to Intl CH Friendships Lord Sterling for her first litter, which tested very highly in temperament, personality and conformation, and shows wonderful intelligence.

Here are pictures of Maddy with her litter by Sterling in 2003, a litter of 11 beautiful blue puppies, and the critiques on son "Desoto".
