Jacob is our keeper from our second 'imported in dam' litter.
His mother, Bitsy, was not shown often in the US but did extremely well when she was shown, winning the 9-12 month class at the 2004 USASA Nationals over 32 entries!
He is tightly linebred on the auspicious Briarbrook cross between Am/ASCA Ch My Main Man of Heatherhill and Am/ASCA Ch Briarbrook Silver Sequence, which produced such influential dogs as Am/Can Ch Briarbrook Full Speed Ahead PT JHD, Am Ch Briarbrook Quicksilver, Am/ASCA Ch Briarbrook Silversmith ROM and Am/ASCA Ch Briarbrook Valedictorian ROM III (sire of 100+ Champions), among many others.
His grandfather is the very well known Am Ch Kaleidoscope Case In Point ROM III, an amazing producer whose offspring count among their accomplishments group wins and placings, multi RWB awards at national specialties, a BOB at Westminster, and even a multi BIS winner. Casey is a special dog in his own right, being awarded #2 in breed (AKC) in 1996, 1997 and 1998, and #6 in breed (AKC) in 1999.
Bitsy was bred twice before we bought her, giving Jacob siblings such as
Am/ASCA Ch Sunnyrain Halfmoon Emulate HT CGC by
Am Ch Westridge Strait from the Heart (a My Main Man of Heatherhill son),
and Am/ASCA Ch Gemmell Ghostmaster by
Am Ch Gemmells Ghostking (a son of Am Ch McMatt EZ Victor). We are looking forward to blending Jacob with our other imported bloodlines over the coming years.
Jacob's father, Am Ch Snowbelt Inverness Riff Raff, is himself a son of Am/ASCA Ch Briarbrook Valedictorian ROM III, a full brother to the 2006 USASA Natl BISS & 1999 USASA Natl BOS winner Am/ASCA Ch Inverness Sweet Victory, and half brother to MBIS Am Ch Dreamstreet Season Ticket who has amassed multiple All Breed BISs, and AOMs at Westminster and USASA Natls.
He wasn't the puppy that immediately caught my eye in the whelping box, but there was just something about him that kept drawing me back. By the time the pups hit 5 weeks old, I'd fallen hook, line and sinker.
He is a very substantial boy with a most handsome head and breathtaking sidegait. A little plainer marked than some he just exudes quality and has a personality nobody can resist.
