SIRE: "DJ" Can Ch. Keesbrook's Deja Vu
Valerie will be health tested in December 2009. DJ is OFA'd Good, and Stifles Normal. Both are PHPT Negative. Valerie is training in agility and loving it! She is a lovely, light-color kees girl with a wonderful "princess" temperament, great body and sound movement. DJ is a stunning, black & silver color, short-coupled dog with a very livable temperament. He was WD for 5pts at the 2008 KCA Regional Specialty in San Francisco. Both these dogs come from generations of health tested and clear kees. This pedigree will combine Candray, A*starz, Windrift and French bloodlines.
As always, our kees are raised in a smoke-free environment, limited vaccines and topicals, modified raw diet for optimum health.

SIRE: "Stuff" Am/Can/SKC BIS Ch. A*starz Right Stuff for CopyKee, HOF, CHOF ROM, NAJ, AX, CGC
This litter has been 3 years in the making. It is a historical breeding that mixes top dogs of present and past. Vickee is 2007 and 2008's #2 bitch in the breed and 2008's #2 Show Bitch. Vickee has finished in the top 5 bitches in the Breed and top 20 Kees in the Breed for all four years she has shown. She earned her HOF on fairly limited showing and being shown solely breeder owner handled (no handlers - ever). Stuff's show records are well know, as well as his offsprings. Stuff and his littermate brother Justin (BISS Ch. A*starz Special Effect, ROM) are found in a large number of the best Kennel's pedigrees. Justin is Vickee's maternal great grandfather- that make Stuff her great uncle. Justin is the sire of the famous Ch. Markwright's Black Hill's Gold ROMX. Both have/had beautiful silver and black coloring, beautiful type in both faces and silhouettes, wonderful dark almond eyes, great movement and show attitudes. Both have OFA hips as "GOOD" and PHPT Neg (Stuff tested, Vickee by descent). Stuff was (when he was at stud) Vet check cleared w/ eyes, heart and stifles tight. Vickee has her eyes and heart cert. and knees vet checked tight. We are not sure if Vickee will be bred a 2nd time, so if you are a fan of hers and/or a fan of Stuff, here is your chance. If you are seriously interested in a show or performance puppy, please contact me soon.

A*STARZ TOP PICK PUPPIES - YES, We Do Sell Our Best!

If you are interested in SHOW or PERFORMANCE prospect pups, we may have the right one for you. Since we have a personal dog limit of 5 (and we don't keep boys), some of our best go to serious, loving show and performance homes. We can't keep them all! If you think you may be interested, contact us for details soon, as these special kids will be spoken for early on!


Note that we do have companion pups in each litter, however, most often they are spoken for about 6mos+ in advance.
