Champions
Chocolate trifecta
What a year 2024 was for our three chocolate stars — Merri, Viggo, and Zeke!
All three turned one, and each of them is now a Champion! 🏆
Merri and Viggo earned their titles here in New Zealand, while Zeke, living in Australia with Amy Sheridan of Rubystud, claimed his across the Tasman.
This remarkable trio was our very first litter sired by our stunning boy Dalton from the USA — a huge thank you to Jonathon of Crystal Min Pins for trusting us with him.
Their show results throughout 2024 have been nothing short of incredible, and I couldn’t be prouder of these beautiful chocolate babies.
A heartfelt thank you to Nadine Brandt (NZ) and Amy Sheridan (AUS) for expertly piloting these spirited little show-stoppers to their wins. I’m so excited for what’s still to come!
2025 update:
-
~Viggo continues to shine with consistent wins at breed and group level — he truly loves the show ring.
-
~Zeke has sired some lovely puppies in Australia who are already making their mark with breed and group wins.
-
~Merri has switched gears and is now having fun in obedience and agility.
What an amazing journey this litter has been!

She’s beauty, brains, and just the right amount of sass — She has also added in obedience, agility, and trick titles to her résumé… and has now gone on to produce her first litter of absolutely gorgeous babies who are following in her pawprints.
