OFA link for health clearances and pedigree ***Remember to hit BACK button to return**

Scout was our foundation bitch at Kei-Rin.  She was truly a one-of-a-kind dog.  She was very much in touch with her instincts and her "market-dog" heritage, often found treeing animals or scavenging the shorelines for prey.  She is still sorely missed.

 










Belle, DOB 5-11-1990 to 2002
AM/Can Ch. Belle Starr of Kei-Rin

Belle was the first AWS female to earn both her American and Canadian championship.  She produced Matt and Levi, who became the backbone of Kei-Rin's AWS breeding program.  Belle had classic type and temperament, to which her owners in retirement can attest.  She lives on in the many beautiful get she produced for us.

(Am/Can Champion Kei-Rin's Marshall Dillon (WKC BOB 1997) x Ch. Beau's Candie Kiss)

Dam of numerous champions, hunters, and wonderful pets: including Lindy and Leinie (under The Gentlemen). Sassy has been everything we could ask for and more.  She was the ideal brood bitch, and even now at age 13 she cares for the young puppies.  She was an exceptional huntress and gave the same instincts to all of her offspring.

"Wink" born 5-10-2002
Ch. Kei-Rin's Flirtn Wth Disaster

(BISS/BIS Ch. Trabiez Premier Element of Surprise x RockRainbow's Blues Holiday)

Wink is the mother of Dalton, Fergie, and Dottie.  She was a wonderful brood bitch, endowing all of her puppies with her lovely head and sweet nature.  Wink is retired from breeding and enjoying her old age in Texas.

"Gidget" born 1-8-2003
Ch. Kei-Rin's Giddy Up N' Go (Natl. BOW 2004, Natl Champ. BOB & Bred-By Grp 3 2006)
OFA link for health clearances and pedigree  ***Remember to hit BACK button to return**
(Kei-Rin's Bonanza x Ch. Silver Fall's Dark Raven (Multiple wins 2001-2004))

Gidget was unstoppable in the show ring along side her brother Rudy.  They finished effortlessly, and she even went on to compete at the Eukanuba National Championship Dog Show in Tampa, FL, where she brought home Best of Breed, Best Bred-By, and A Bred-By Sporting Group Third Placement.  She is the damn of Ch. Kei-Rin's Mountain Man, who won several group placements and Award of Merit and the 2009 National Specialty.

"Lena" born 11-16-2006
Ch. Kei-Rin's Stormy Weather (Best of Winners 2009 National Specialty Host Show)
OFA link for health clearances and pedigree ***Remember to hit BACK button to return**
(Set'r Ridge's Face of an Angel x Kei-Rin Rmz Crk Vanilla Sky)

Lena was shown sparingly throughout her "youth," culminating in her amazing win following the 2009 National Specialty, under Canadian breeder-judge Honey Glendenning.  Lena has always been a favorite of breeder judges: winning several nice wins from English breeder-judge R. William Powell, and a very nice Best of Breed win over BISS winning champions under American breeder-judge Elliot Weiss.

"Fergie" born 3-22-2007
Kei-Rin's Lets Get It Started
OFA link for health clearances and pedigree ***Remember to hit BACK button to return**
(Am/Can Ch. Setr Ridge Aerden Sharp Dres'd Man x "Wink")

Fergie is co-owned by the Sopko family of Cortland, IL.  Fergie is Julie's first show dog, and has exposed her to the trials of owning (and maintaining) a show dog.  Nevertheless, Fergie is always a joy; goofy and comedic like her father and ever the lover like her mother.

"Dottie" born 10-27-2007
Kei-Rin's Hot Blue and Righteous (nursing home therapy dog)
OFA link for health clearances and pedigree ***Remember to hit BACK button to return**
(Am/Can Ch. Setr Ridge Aerden Sharp Dres'd Man x "Wink")

Dottie is one of the sweetest, mild-mannered dogs we have ever owned. She is truly a joy to live with.  At only 2 years of age, she is a celebrity at the local nursing home.  It comes natural to her to be around the elderly.  We greatly anticipate showing her in 2010.

"Shandy" born 3-30-2008
Kei-Rin's Summer Shandy (both majors)
OFA link for health clearances and pedigree ***Remember to hit BACK button to return**
(Ch. Kei-Rin's Honey Weiss x Waterway Game Creek Coda Meister)

Shandy is an intense hunting dog, and will be more seriously trained this spring and summer. We would like to have her Started Dog title on her before fall and before she is bred.  We love everything about this little girl. She is the epitome of breed type.


"Shimmer" born 7-1-2008
Kandu's Silver Lining
OFA link for health clearances and pedigree ***Remember to hit BACK button to return**
(Ch. Set'r Ridge's New Kid In Town x Kandu's Daily Devotion)

While Shimmer may be darker than most judges are used to seeing in the ring, they cannot deny her faultless structure.  Her coat is actually silver, hence the name.  She is another dog that is a joy to live with. She has a very sweet and gentle nature and we look forward to showing her in 2010.
