THE LANDMARK-MONTAGE PUPPET LITTER DOB: 4/25/05 5 males, 3 females Bred by Darlene Hernandez & Kathy Madden
|
 George at 14 1/2 and Piper at age 9 |
 Roux, Punch, Judy, Goldie (L to R) at 24 months |
| The Puppet litter was a dream come true for both Darlene and myself. We tried for more than a year to make this breeding happen. George and Piper were British imports from litters that were the culmination of years of careful breeding by Belamba and Bergeau kennels. Their pedigree cross includes many of Europe's best and most influential Belgians. Both of them have passed on but they leave quite a legacy behind. The first time we tried for this cross, Piper reabsorbed all but one of the babies and we tragically lost that one early on. Because of George's age at the time (13), we used some of his very precious and limited frozen semen both times, and did surgical inseminations. Luckily, we had lots of babies the second time around. The Puppets are all that we dreamed of and more! They are beginning their agility, obedience, rally, herding and tracking careers, attracting fans wherever they appear. Four are AKC champions, with a 5th just starting and already pointed. The Puppets bring together the temperament, working potential and beauty that we strive so hard to achieve. |

Am/Can. CH LandmarkMontage Puppeteer "Henson" lives in New York City with me. He is co-owned by Montage and Landmark. Henson is very friendly and easygoing, with a happy, biddable attitude. Henson earned his AKC Championship with 4 majors. He is an elegant show dog with lots of presence and style, and sound movement. In 2008, he earned his Canadian Championship in one 5 day show circuit with wins over specials including a Group 2 and Group 4. This gave him 60 points, leaving him tied for the #10 spot in the Canadian Top Ten breed standings at year end! Henson is currently training in competition obedience and tracking. He loves to train and has a bouncy, upbeat working style with lots of attention and enthusiasm. Henson is the sire of the Landmark Correspondence Litter. |
| CH LandmarkMontage Dancing Puppet "Goldie" is co-owned by Montage and Landmark. She is ultra feminine and very put together. Goldie is always on the go, looking for things to leap onto. She is a little agility dynamo with lots of drive! With her gorgeous side gait and bouncy, super friendly temperament, she breezed through the breed ring, finishing her championship with an extra major. Goldie lives up to her name in the ring and is quite funny to watch, she will dance and spin at the end of her 6 foot lead. She has all the characteristics we strive for. She has been bred to the gorgeous French male s.r. Stavropol de la Clairiere aux Louves and we are looking forward to puppies in January 2010. |
