Our beautiful, sweet Kira was born on March 5th 2005. Her father is "Moon Rise Dee-O-Gee" (Black Tri) and her mother ist "Four Chimney Ranch Hope" (Red Tri). We bought her with ASCA Papers, but have decided to additionally breed in the CASD which is affiliated to the VDH / FCI.
Kira was phenotyped on October 11th 2008 in Hanau, Germany by Mr. Fricke, and now has CASD / VDH / FCI papers in addition to her ASCA papers.

On December 31st 2008 she received the unrestricted breeding permission from the CASD.

She loves children. Strangers on our property are first energetically barked at, but as soon she realises that "it's ok" they are happily greeted. If the visitors face gets too close to hers, he will run the risk of obtaining a doggy-kiss on the mouth. :-)
She loves playing dog-frisbee and is an excellent swimmer.
