Zoom

We were so happy with our Luna babies we bred her once more, this time to a Canadian dog from Taolan. From this breeding we got a beautiful little "Six Pack" (3 girls, 3 boys). Zoom is the son of two of our favorite Taolan dogs, Calvin (BISS Am/Can Ch. Taolan Traces of the Cat) and Stevie (Am/Can Ch. Taolan Ain't Misbehavin'). Zoom himself was about as correct of a malamute as we'd seen, both in structure and a solid steady movement. And a complete sweetheart to boot! Unfortunately we don't have more recent pictures of Zoom, but you can see what promise he showed even at 2 years old. The combination turned out to be golden - combining the beautiful type of both parents and the best of both in conformation. Their daugther Amore went on to significantly contribute to our program, not just stepping in as our lead dog (a position Luna was happy to share and eventually pass on), but also consistently throwing her solid type and reliably smooth, sound movement to her kids in both outcrosses and a loose linebreeding.

This breeding gave us our beautiful Amore, Ch. Gryphon's Moon Hits Your
Eye WTD, who earned her Championship exclusively from the BBE (Bred By
Exhibitor) class and proved to be a phenomenal addition and contributor
to our kennel and team. Also in our program but living/spoiled with
Ruth & Warren is the handsome Hunter, Gryphon's Hunter's Moon.
Sister Caly (Gryphon's Calypso Blue Moon RN) is also our first obedience titled kid! earning her Rally title with mom Lila.
Amore wasn't shown much, but when she did she consistently did well, and finished in style in the fall of 2010. She is now showing here & there towards her Grand Championship before retiring from the ring; and of course continues to help raise & train her kids & grandkids, and most recently great-grandkids! with Molly's litter.
