Java - INTERNATIONAL CH, AKC Major CH ptd., CGC -RETIRED-Java has won her International Champion title, Group 2, 3 - Best of Breeds, and is working her way towards her AKC CH title. She has won multiple Winners Female (sorry, can't use the correct term here), including her 1st MAJOR. She is a very blocky, English style Chocolate, 75 lbs at 2 years old. She is built like a tank. She is from very well known blood lines from the SHOW dog arena, & has more than 65 champs on her pedigree! Java has also earned her AKC CGC title. Can't keep her out of the pool and she'll retrieve forever! Java is a nationally certified trailing dog with NAPWDA (North American Police Working Dog Association), and is a Search & Rescue Dog. Here is a link to her 1st finish. She had just trailed 3/4 mile through the woods, following someone's scent. At the end of the trail was a group of people and Java had to identify and indicate who's scent she had just been tracking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ1RggaKM2E Java is great at everything she is asked to do; she is very eager to please. Because of this, we continue to look for things for her to do. We are looking into service dog training and getting involved with AKC tracking training. Pictured below.

Willow - Retired- AKC CH , BOB, Multi BOB Puppy, BOB Puppy Breeder Showcase, BIS BBE INTERNATIONAL CH, UKC CH Willow is pick of her litter! At 3.5 mos Willow had already earned her International Champion title, 2-Best in Shows ( regular and Bred by Exhibitor), Group 1, 2-Best of Breeds. At 10 mos, Willow starting showing at AKC shows. What a show girl. Even before turning a year old she has earned a BOW and 2 WB, several BOB Puppy, Group 1 and 4 Puppy. An even bigger honor was her BOB Puppy and Group 3 Puppy in the 2013 Purina Breeder Showcase....where all the breeders show their BEST pups! She has a big world outlook which is great for the showring . She has charisma galore and takes over where ever she goes. Willow had earned all her points, with the exception of 1 major when we decided it was the right time for her to become a Mommy. We bred her and she had a lovely litter of 9 babies. She took nearly a year off from the show circuit to recover from mommyhood. In June 2016, I decided to enter Willow in the Tampa shows! Bada bing, bada ba.....Willow earned that last big win, called a 'major' and finished her AKC CHAMPIONSHIP! Her registration name is CH Chambray's Cover Girl.

Fiji - Chocolate -Fiji came to me from a good friend's kennel. She was the pick of the litter. She has grown to be such an amazingly beautiful girl. Soft, loving eyes, big blocky head, short wide snout, super thick coat and tail, and the gentlest, easy going, laid back personality. She's a big girl, about 90 lbs. She LOVES all the puppies and is such a great Mommy.
Katrina (Trina) Yellow - Trina came to me from my good friend's kennel. She was the pick of her litter, and has a pedigree that is very special to her breeders.....so special that Trina's next litter will be evaluated with big plans for the future of that lineage! Trina has been shown in both the US and Mexico, and even has points toward her Mexican championship! Her pups are SPECTACULAR, just like her! Her sire is a CHAMPION in the United States, Mexico, Columbia and Brazil!
Bugatti (Gatti) - Chocolate -AKC MAJOR CH Ptd. Bugatti's show career is off to am amazing start! 4 WINS (including a major) in 4 shows! That is an INCREDIBLE accomplishment for a chocolate, who are usually the underdogs in the conformation ring. Gatti is Java's daughter, just passed OFAs , GENETIC, EYE & HEART tests now complete. Bugatti is a very athletic girl. I need to start taking her to agility training. She'd be an instant success! She can hop over my 5 foot fence without hesitation. She absolutely loves squeaky toys! She wants to snuggle right up next to me where ever I happen to sit or lay.....especially on top of all my pillows!
Royce - Black / will also produce Chocolate -Royce is Java's daughter, just passed OFAs, GENETIC & EYE & HEART tests now complete.
