This was a very exciting year for us; early in March, 2005 I went to South Africa, and met with some top breeders, the quality of dogs at both these kennels was overwhelming.

 

I thought to myself, I would really like to have access to these high quality dogs for my future breeding's.

 

Since, David Harris my friend/mentor was out of the country, I was unable to meet him.

 

Shortly upon my return to the U.S, David and I had an idea to establish a Red Rocks kennel in South Africa as well, so that we will be able to network more closely with some of the top breeders, and have access to the high quality bloodlines that they have to offer.

 

As such we decided to import a dog from Jim Byrnes (LACYLE), a breeder that has bred several Ireland and U.K. Champion dogs.

 

We finally had, Iceman Galanta arrive in South Africa on 12-07-05.

Iceman Galanta has also sired 1 litter to date as we were waiting for him to grow up and mature a little before we allow him to sire any more litters.

 

 We are glad to say judging from what his produced, it seems that this guy is going to be a valuable stud dog.

 Iceman Galanta is the son, of 2001, crufts winning dog, Ch.GB Ladarna Birthday Boy.

 I have also acquired a bitch pup, Neantog Penny also know simply as Penny. Jim was responsible for this one as well. Penny arrived to South Africa on March, 8, 2006.

 Pictures of Penny will follow shortly.

 

 

 

 She is the daughter of CH INT CH GB CH  Lackyle Diabhal Og, a dog breed by Jim Byrnes.

Both these dogs are living in South Africa by my friend David and his girl friend Natalie, who is also showing these two promising pups for me. 

 

They both are developing very nicely and will spend 2007 being campaigned all around South Africa.
