Just had a Hazardous Treasure x Celtic Charmer litter whelp.

I have a 95.25 male with 9.9 coat available for sale:
www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=14588314


The same litter produced a couple of low SS 10.00 coated males:
www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=14588310 - -96.65

and
www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=14588313 - -96.40 --- just might part with this one if anyone wants to chance a low SS male.

Not to mention two 10.00 coated bitches, one with low SS

www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=14588311 - -96.60

www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=14588315 - full SS but only 96.35

I am getting some good results, but cursing the fact that the best of them are coming in low SS.

One one pup out of the lot with 9.8 coat, and she would be full SS and 96.45

Lol Just weekly prayers to the falling moon while surrounded with all things dogly, daily *strictly under the table* offerings of food and deliciousness, as well as shows of extreme devotion every other day, for good measure, should do the trick.

Really, showdog, like most other games (say monopoly), is a game of chance and your ability to seize those chances and maximize the good rolls to the best of your ability with the parameters you are given. In the bare and at the moment, I'm still using, for the most part, a modified "maximum lottery ticket" strategy (which is pretty nice when just getting started in a open community, kinda like blowing at embers of a fire) where my bitch and pregnancy count are "lottery tickets". That can't really capture the emotional level of what I am doing because of my attachment to these said pixels and codes as well as the people surrounding me (I want to be of use to everyone, I want my breed to be the best in both community and rank, I want to be recognized and to help, I want to keep this line alive no matter what; the basics that promise of a good game), but that strategy kinda makes the boney structure of what I'm doing... I guess. Hope I didn't lose anyone with the maze of metaphors and similes

Top stats:
Head - 9.8
FQ - 9.6
HQ - 10.3
Gait - 9.8
TNB - 9.8!
Coat - 9.8 <I'm having some trouble here, I think I'm going to have to be more strict with it.
Size - 9.5
Temp - 9.7
Feet - 9.4

Got three treasures from my last breedings. Thanks for giving them good homes lycaons and Aussie!

My entire kennel will be going up for sale this Sunday after my litters drop. If there are any dogs you wish to reserve, message me.

Just had my first 9.8 TNB and 9.7 FQ pups born tonight. Too bad theyre not on the same dog!

Mostly sessioned (just needs a few more points in training) 9.9 coat, 96.4 SOP boy for sale. I decided that my plate is full enough with dogs for the ring right now, in case anyone else wants to give him a crack. I just cant justify the entrance fees right now.

Just found a lovely surprise in my AusWolf kennel tonight.

A 96.60 bitch with a 10.00 coat.

Im still really sad youre leaving Winter, even though I totally get why. Im even more sad that my kennel is bursting at the seams and I dont have any more space to buy any more of your dogs! :P

I'll miss everyone and big thanks to those who purchased my dogs. Thank you guys for giving them good homes. I'll definitely hit you all up if I start again.

I am only waiting on 3 litters. Other than that my entire kennel is up for sale. My dogs SOPs range anywhere from 96.30-96.60 and adjusted SOPs of -96.50 to -96.75.

Since our post is about to fall off the first page....

I got this girl today, the highest I've bred so far.

www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=14613884

Thanks to WinterHeart for use of her male!

Ooh, pretty Lyc! 97 is right around the corner.

My entire kennel is up for sale now. All my broodies are ready to breed as well so grab them while you can! I will most likely not be returning to the game or logging in again. If I do, a big thank you to Aussie and Lycaons for helping me start again. Enjoy my dogs and thank you guys for giving them homes/continuing my lines.

Several new boys up for stud today:

www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=14546916 96.7 with a 9.5 size

www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=14544137 96.6

www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=14546909 96.6

Well, I got 3 lovely sisters today in the same litter. If my math is correct, this lady would be 97.1 with adjusted SOP. That was a surprise. Damn her low SS!
www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=14618191

Been there done that --- it hurts when they are so good but low SS. She will make a lovely broodie though.

I found this boy in my kennel today 96.95 SOP. A rather nice lad ......

www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=14618689

Thank you to Winter Heart for putting CH Winterhearts Blow Me Away up for stud and even more so for selling him to me!

The wolf greys are making a come back in my kennels -- at one stage last year, I had only one wolf grey..... now they are almost dominant.

I had a litter this morning that was entirely wolf grey. I remember the color breeding project to bring them up to par several years back.

And at 96.8, I think I might even try showing her, low ss and all. Her sop is competitive even with the low ss.

Worth a try - she is a lovely girl, she should do well.

I am sessioning a 19.6 SS boy, the lowest I have tried yet. But I like him a lot, so thought he was worth a try also, even though his actual SOP is only 96.50.

Hello all, I am not a Keeshond breeder, but I am a hobbyist campaigner who has taken an interest campaigning Keeshonds. I don't post here as I'm not a breeder, but I have had a lot of fun campaigning Keeshonds, so I continue to bring them into my kennel one at a time for this very reason.

Anyway, I’m here to commend Gypsy Winds Celtic Pride who tonight closed the book on an outstanding campaign, taking 2nd in breed in his final show, a bittersweet end to an outstanding campaign of a dog that was strong all the way to the end.

His accomplishments are as follows:

11x Best in Show winner
1x NBISS
3x BISS
5x specialty placer
22 show placements
75 BIB
1,046 keeshonds beaten
12,449 dogs beaten
345 GCH points
October 2015 SDWC- 2nd in group
November 2015 SDWC - 4th in Group
#2 Kee, #5 all breeds, #3 Non-sporting October 2015
#1 Kee, #3 all breeds, #2 Non-sporting November 2015
#1 Kee, #1 all breeds, #1 Non-sporting December 2015
#1 Kee, #29 all breeds, #2 non-sporting January 2016 -will not hold as he is no longer showing
Career earnings of 3,089

Silver GCH
#2 Keeshond GCH points
#37 all-time GCH points

#19 all-time ranked Keeshond! Highest ranked modern Keeshond
Record holder for most BISs ever achieved by a Keeshond

I want to thank Gypsy Wind for placing this amazing gem up for sale for me to discover, it's been a pleasure showing him, and I couldn't be happier with how well he has done. Truly a fantastic dog by any breeds standards; will truly miss checking his results every evening. I'm a bit surprised he wasn't more widely used as a stud, so I guess he will leave behind no legacy other than a very successful campaign, shame too, because he has a lot of exceptional qualities.

Anyway, the end of one journey is merely the start of another; I will begin scoring the sale pages right away for my next campaign project. Hopefully this next one won't take me as long to stalk for as the last one. Look forward to continuing to exhibit with you guys.

Thanks for letting me brag a little and much credit to Gypsy for breeding him.
