Ghost and Ash We are proud to announce the acquisition of 4 month old Gray Ghost on co-ownership from the Millers. Ghost is that very special, deep sable puppy with an outstanding attitude, gorgeous structure and movement and a pedigree that should ensure he will be an outstanding producer as well as showman. We first saw him at the 2016 mid-Atlantic futurity where his older sister was shown and won BOF after going Best Opposite Puppy at the 2015 National Specialty. Came, Saw, Fell in love, Purchased. Ghost was bred and is co-owned by Craig and Cindy Miller
In his next venture out, 12 month old Ghost went Winners Dog for the Major at the Treasure Coast GSD Club Specialty Show 1-7-17 under judge Doug Crane. Thanks to Lenny Brown for a great handling job and judge Crane for the super win. Ghost took the 4 point RWD at 15 months at the GSDC of No Fla under judge Pamela O'Dell in very stiff competition.

Zen has always been a delight to show, train and trial - always giving 100% even in pain before letting us know that he had an obedience career-ending injury.> Zen is a beautiful mover and was successful in both the specialty and all-breed venues easily finishing his Championship and Grand Championship. He has a great working attitude, is always on 'go' and loves doing whatever you invite him to join you in. He is still very active although we are careful with what he is allowed to do. Herding is his current interest. Zen is a full older brother to Ch Parker and Ch Justice.

Ch Ropaja-Falkrigia's Voila' D'Artagnon OFA Good H&E TC
See Our Offspring We are thrilled with the quick Championship our long-coated Tagnon acheived and our thanks to Lenny Brown for piloting him beautifully to his wins. Tagnon finished with 3 WD Majors in good solid competition and three 4 point Major Reserves in all-breed and specialty venues Tagnon will be campaigned to his Grand Championship while also training for performance venues. So much like his sire, Vachon, I expect him to excel in companion venues with his devoted attitude, keen intelligence and biddable personality. Co-bred and co-owned with Pauline Moon. Tagnon is OFA good H/E, Temperament Certified and DM Clear. He is also a delight to own and work with

Ch Falkrigia's Yuletide DragonFire RN OFA Good
Elfin is a dark, substantial, very masculine dog who, despite his name , is a rather dignified fellow who considers himself above the playfully crazy antics of his half-brother Zen, but with a great sense of humor all his own. Elfin was placed for a while as a companion which kept him from starting an early show career but he has made up for it since his return to Falkrigia (through no fault of his own). He finished his Championship fairly easily at 6 years of age and is now 8 years old and training in Herding which he appears to have great talent for. He will hopefully be trialing this Fall 2019. Elfin is a littermate to Aiden - owned by Leslie Hutto and who has his CDX, RE and is an incredibly accomplished Barnhunt and Crazy 8 Champion. Leslie is also a co-owner on Elfin. Elfin is the sire of the gorgeous Gemmaand her brothers Anthony and Apollo2 and out of Anakonda van Contra Haus co-bred with Leslie
Kiokee-Falkrigia's Smoke On The Water

Co-Bred and C0-0wned by Sherry McFarland and Falkrigia
Falkrigia-Aidenquest Jumpin' Jack Flash
Viper is a strong-minded, beautiful moving youngster with good early size who has done well in the 4-6 month puppy class.

His Dam is Bulgarian
He is co-owned and co-bred by Falkrigia and Aidenquest
Falkrigia-Ropaja's Iron Eagle of Adorher;
Train is named for the Iron Eagle that was often mounted on the old Southern Railway Steam locomotives. Photo at 9 Months
It is the perfect name for him as he is solid, sound, strong and commanding. He shows great presence in the ring as a youngster and we have great plans for him. He, like his sire, is a long coat with tremendous movement and a gorgeous headpiece.

Ribbitt aka Volta is a full younger repeat breeding of the gorgeous Hope (Mickena's Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come) and a full littermate to Neo (12 pts 1 major).
Ribbitt is a great puppy very much like his sire in solid temperament but with a very affectionate side - a very cuddly pup with a great attitude about anything and everything.
Ribbitt has not yet started a serious show career as he is still growing into all his angles and starting some obedience exercises. We feel he has great promise down the road in many venues.
His formal call name is Volta but he will always be Ribbitt to me as a puppy he loved to watch the frogs jump and actually sat like a frog as a baby much of the time. A more delightful companion dog couldn't be found

GCh Kaleef-Jaepaul SanJuan Diego Falkrigia OFA Good H/E (Ch HiCliff Bronson Kaleef ROM x Ch Kaleef's Plaudit of Jaepaul HSAS ROM) Ch Kaleef's BoldRuler of Falkrigia CD RN HIC OFA good We are sad to have recently laid to rest our gorgeous and ever-young Ch Bold Ruler. At 13 and 1/2 he still moved across the yard with ease and even with glimpses of the beautiful suspension he possessed as a youngster. Although totally deaf, he still insisted on performing his duties daily to check each dog's paddock and guard Gene in his shop as he did his woodworking. Trapper was a mighty dog in so many ways. He will be forever missed. # 20 German Shepherd Dog Club of America Top 20 Annual Training Achievement Award Sires and Dams for 2016
