Why the name Vindicator?
Vindicator was born on April 2. In American history, April 2, 1917, is the day President Woodrow Wilson requested Congress to send U.S. troops into battle against Germany in WWI. Vindicator means: "One who vindicates; one who justifies or maintains; to liberate; to set free; to deliver".
Vindicator has a nice topline and a big, beautiful, blocky head. He has such a sweet temperament and does not know a stranger. Vindicator likes to play fetch but what he really likes is just being by our side. We are so excited to have Vindicator as our first male brought into our breeding program.

Why the name Strider?
Strider was born on January 27. This is known as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. This is the day we set aside to remember the Nazi's act of genocide so that we do not allow the same horrid acts to be committed again. We are also huge Tolkien fans so we thought what better name to use for good versus evil other than Aragorn, aka: Strider.
Strider is our keeper puppy from Merita and Mason. He is developiing into such a striking boy. He has a nice topline already and is getting that big, gorgeous head like his father and mother.

His champion lines include GCHB CH Saddlehill Late Knight Scramble, GCH Triniti Dzhoi Midsummer Glow, GCH Beulahlands Don't Miss the Boat, GCH Delightful Theory of Love for Holstep's, CH LAD Briliind Tiger Heart, CH Labry Berry Pearl of Collection, CH Olaris Night After Christmas, CH Hotti-Totti Honda Top Secret, CH Tiger Paws Herbu Zadora, CH Almaznaya Rossup Beatiful Show, CH American Pie Z Grodu Hrabiego Malmesbury, CH Mallorn's Ring My Bell, CH Beulahland Take My Heart Hotti Totti, CH Bruno Banani Bella Mare, CH Tabatha's Burly .
