Am Can. Greyhaven A Glorious Enigma                              "Zappa"
"Zappa" arrived from Minnesota June 12th 2004, getting out of his crate wagging his tail and confident that his new life in the Pacific NW will be a great one. Many thanks to Marilyn Polsfuss for letting me have him. He will be a great addition to my family and my kennel.  Plenty of new bloodlines for outcross as well as Eden's g-dam Ch Insights Hecuva who is littermate to my Minuets sire "Hannibal" for a bit of linebreeding.

Zappa finished his Am Championship in May of 2007 at 3yrs 2 mo. His mjrs came from his 2 PSBC specialty WD/BOW wins.  2 months after he finished in the states we took him up to Canada and finished his Can Ch title by going WD/BOS for 3 pts at the Gazehound specialty and WD/BOB for 4 pts at the Sighthound Clubs specialty to finish his Canadian title.

Here is a link to his littermates at Marilyn's "Greyhaven" web site.

Dar Morev's Hinterland "daVinci"(Mjr ptd)

Born 10/17/04

Sire: Dar Morev's Bronze Bohemian (ptd-AKC & ASFA)
Dam: Am Can Ch Dar Morev's Hinterland Xena

Here is a link to his litter page and here is his pedigree  page.

daVinci is a fantastic boy. He has his grandam Minuets looks and his grandsire Taylors personality.
daVinci's first show was a great success. At the tender age of 7 mo. he earned his first point going WD/BOS under breeder/judge Mrs. Jan Leikam.

At 13 mo. daVinci went WD/BOW for a 3 pt MJR at the Timberland KC show. 

At that point we decided to let him grow up a bit more and concentrated on Zappa.

                  In Loving Memory of:

Am.Can.Ch. Dar Morev's Moon Madness "Logan"

Logan was my all time favorite show dog. Sweet, Loveable, & Willing. We had a great time at the shows.WD for a 5pt mjr at PSBC's 1995 winter specialty under Breeder Judge Jay Cunningham. He also went with me to the BCOA National in Pittsburgh, and made many fans. Logan's Gorgeous head, floating movement, luxurious coat, & once again that front angulation made him hard not to notice.

Logan is the sire of Dar Morev's 1998 litter. And it looks like he passed on many of his excellent qualities.
Cerf: BZ-787/1999--82

(Dar Morev's Endless Night x Zephyrs Reach Zest Dar Morev) Bred By Barb Solga.

 Here was Logan at 8 years of age. Beautiful as ever...
