Shapiro is our handsome silver- blue boy. He is a little taller at 16" than what we like but very conformationally correct and refined.He tends to produce predominantly smaller puppies than himself with the occasional larger one (like himself), His parents and siblings are smaller at 13"-15".
In spite of him being on the tall side we chose him because although tall he is not big. He retains the refinement and elegance we feel an IG should have as well as great bloodlines.
He is a cross of 2 great lines. On his sires side he has very good line breeding in the "Giovanni" lines. His dam has the awesome "Silver Bluff" lines.
He has the beautiful curves we like to see in our IG's and his movement is awesome. He has great facial expression and beautiful large eyes. When I first went to see him he took right to my daughter and me, We knew from that moment he was coming home with us.
He has a very outgoing personality! He has two speeds very fast, he loves to play and completely at rest, he loves to cuddle and lay in your lap or crawl under some blankets. He is a very loving and confident boy.
We have followed his line and have seen very impressive littermates and know he will continue to pass on those traits. He is Champion Pointed and was handled by Lisa Bruzzone and her daughter, both of whom did an excellent job wih him.
As very difficult decision it was to make because he was and always will be my buddy, he is now living with MOSA extended family as thier much loved companion while we have retained breeding right to him.
He and Saudi have produced and awesome litter that is everything we had hoped it would be, the puppies are beautiful. We have retained 2 puppies from thier littler to carry on Shapiro's great lines and personality.
His kids are smaller as we had hoped for and are headed for the show ring! Check back to see his babies, thier progress and the exciting things they add to our family!
