CH. Prizm's Made In The Shade
Shady resides with & is co-owned by Krossfire Aussies.
Debbie entirely owner-handled Shady to all four of her
majors. After taking time off from the show ring, Shady
went back out and got her last two majors at 7 years of
age . . . . . still looking & moving like a young 2 year old !
Shady has tons of angulation ( both front & rear ) and
she has lovely neck. She stands at 19 ".and is 37 pounds
of flowing movement. She has my favorite type of coat ~ shiny, straight & moderate. And she has pretty almond shaped eyes .
Since her one & only littermate ( CH . Vegas ) decided she was not in need of boyfriends, we are happy that Shady
took after her mother in that department. For Shady's last
litter, we selected a nearly 12 year old dog & for the first
time, Shady gave us more than one female to pick from.
And it's the first time she did not produce a puppy with
an excessive amount of trim . . . click litter picture below .
Shady also placed 3rd in a very large open black class ,
( with Debbie handling her ) at the 2001 National Specialty .

A much larger litter than we
expected out of a couple of veterans. And interestingly, an
entire litter with hardly any
trim ~ but they are cool pups !

This litter is sired by Fairoak's Quinterro. We wanted to take advantage
of his old foundation bloodlines, which offer both outcross and longevity.
Quin's lines seem to be relatively free from many of the cancers that
are affecting our modern day Aussies. At the time of this writing, Quin
is 14+ years of age. See some of Quin's relatives here : Fairoak's
