ORIGINAL Sire and Dam
Thunor
Thunor is from the Rip It Up Kennel and made his way from Georgia to New Hampshire in 2018. It was love at first sight. Even as a baby, it was clear that he had a fearlessness and willingness to go anywhere and try anything. He has competed in agility and rally and earned his CGC title. His pedigree is impressive. His half brother was the first AHT to take Best of Breed at Westminster when the breed was recognized in 2016 . Thunor has brought intelligence, fierce loyalty, and showpiece top lines to his offspring. He is a true southern gentleman, my heart dog, and a producer of some outstanding pups.
One year later, Sif came home....
Larger than life but only 28 lbs.
SIF
Sif is a perfect peach though her color is lemon. This exquisite beauty lives up to her namesake. Her petite frame, stately ears, and broad chest have made her a perfect founding dam for a more compact structure. Her breeder knew exactly what she wanted when she bred for Sif. Sif's mom, True, is also the mother of another Westminister best of breed winner and highly sought after sire owned by Holly Johnson. Sif is very proud to know that Benjamin, the 2021 #1 AHT, is her half brother.
Sif has proved herself to be an outstanding mother and earned the right to retire and nestle into the role of grandmother. She provides stability and an indominable buoyant spiritedness to our household. Seen below, is little Sif with her son, Memphis. While he is a beefcake, he is small like his mum and might well be greatest lapdog of all time. He is neutered and not part of the program, but he is part of the family.
