I'm excited to announce that Vista will be bred to MBISS GCH Can CH HRCH Malagold Wing-T We Can Work It Out MH WCX DDHF, Can. WC "Brix" (https://k9data.com/pedigree.asp?ID=798043) owned by Anney Doucette when she comes into season this spring.

I believe this combination of Brix and Vista will produce a litter of puppies that will uphold my trinity of brains, beauty and birds!

I'll be looking for performance/competition homes for this great litter!
