Frida'sPups

Frida has produced four litters to date and I am very pleased with their quality and consistency.

Her pups have outstanding temperaments, and are a lovely blend of the assets of their sires and dam.

Frida became a Register of Merit Dam after producing five AKC Champions in her first litter . To date,

eight of Frida's offspring have finished their Championships and several more are on their way.

Frida was honored as ** GSMDCA Top Producing Dam for 2007 .

I wish to thank the owners of all of Frida's puppies for giving them such loving homes.

(** " GSMDCA Top Producer" is the dog or bitch who has produced the most AKC Champions in a given year)
