MJ has sired some lovely puppies for Xaver and Regina Schmid, as well as a few other breeders in Europe.  These breeders include Lucie Lieblová (CZ); Carsta Pirlich-Kraus (Germany); Roswitha Leeb-Hackl (Austria); Vladimir Pijunovic (Serbia). One girl went to the US and became an AKC champion. Another girl has come to our home, in Canada, and is well on her way to her US AKC championship in just a few shows!

Here are some photos of MJ from when he was quite young. Some newer photos, now that he is more mature, will be added to the page.

MJ lives in Germany with Xaver and Regina Schmid.  Regina visited Canada to visit our home and meet our dogs.  Regina fell in love with both MJ and Java from this litter.  It was decided that MJ would go back to Germany with her.  It was a wonderful visit - lot's to learn from each other and new friendships made.  Click here to go to their website - vom-Granitfelsen.

Offspring Sired by MJ

Below:  Monaline Hard Candy (5.5 months old), bred by Vladimir Pijunovic in Serbia


Below:  4 month old puppy (Earl) bred by Roswitha Leeb-Hackl in Germany
This boy came from a litter of 6 boys, all lovely according to the breeder.
While he is nice, he like his brothers, went to companion homes since the breeder
only had space to add 1 more girl to her kennel-home.  To me he looks like he
will represent the breed nicely in his new home.


Thanks for visiting and stay tuned!
