This is the first litter for
AKC CH/UKC Grand CH Mazel Tov Yomi Bat Barak CGC, CDCA HC ("Yomi")
Award of Merit at 2009 CDCA National Specialty
Yomi and her litter sister Lila (pictured below at 15 weeks)
are probably the only Canaan Dogs who descend from a combination of three very important, well-regarded studs of recent history:
WW2001, European Winner 2001, Tel Aviv Winner 2001, Intl. Canaan Specialty BISS 2001, BISS 2002 3 x CAC France, ICDCA Specialty BIS 2003, Intl., Israel, Luxembourg, AKC, UKC CH Barak Me Shaar Hagai ("Barak")
-and-
CH Pleasant Hill Jordan ROMX
-and-
DOTY 1993 CDCA/AKC CH Shvatim Confidence ROMX, VX, CGC, HCX, AHBA-HIC ("Dylan")
This breeding is a linebreeding on both Barak and Jordan,
combining important old U.S. bloodlines with important recent Israeli bloodlines.
You can see the pedigree on our "Pedigree" tab.
The sire of the litter is:
CH Pleasant Hill Wish Granted
Best of Opposite at 2009 CDCA National Specialty
Both Yomi and Grant have OFA Good hips and elbows, CERF certification for eyes, and have tested healthy for thyroid, and Grant has CHIC certification.
Yomi became the second-ever female UKC Grand Champion summer 2008 at the National Specialty Show weekend of the Israel Canaan Dog Club of America. She is also an AKC champion.
Judges have loved her, due to her soundness, movement, structure, and attitude.
(She is also a sweetheart as a family dog.)
Although not shown extensively, Yomi was #7 AKC Canaan Dog for 2004 and #3 UKC Canaan Dog for 2005.
She was Champion of Champions at the 2006 ICDCA National Specialty and several times at the weekends of the 2007 and 2008 ICDCA National Specialties.
As a puppy, she was Best of Winners at the 2004 ICDCA National Specialty,
and the judge said she a hard a time picking between her and an adult male for Best In Specialty Show.
The judge said, "When you're judging, you should have a picture in your mind of the perfect dog of the breed. Your puppy was the picture I had in my mind."
Yomi finished her AKC championship at 10 months by going Best of Opposite during the 2004 National Specialty weekend for our AKC Parent Club, the Canaan Dog Club of America (CDCA)--her fourth 4-point major.
She is a Canine Good Citizen, and has passed her Herding Certificate, with sheep.
I have worked with her in obedience, and plan on competing with her in obedience and Rally in the future.
Grant was the #4 AKC Canaan Dog for 2007, with invitations to both Westminster and the Eukanuba Invitational.
(Extenuating circumstances within his human family kept him from many show ring experiences in 2008.)
HIs robustness and attractive coloring only enhance his marvelously good temperament.
Some puppies are more suited to certain activities, families, and competition than others. We evaluate our pups so we can match each pup with its best home. We assess conformation and we temperament-test them, following the Monks of New Skete method.
Contact us if you would like to think about our next litter.
Puppies from our Summer 2009 litter are likely to have structure similar to their uncle
