Can.Am.Ch. Vanderbilt's Flowery Prose  Here are a couple of pix of "Flo" enroute to her Am.Ch. handled by the breeder/owner of her sire "Sullie", Jan Warner and assisted by Francois Akers.  Flo finished in 8 shows with 4 majors, and as a move up the weekend she finished - took a Breed win in an entry of 30 Sams.  This Flowery Prose reads like a bestseller ... Thank you so much Jan & Francois!
Stay tuned for future plans for this exceptional bitch!

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree - meet "Flo's" son ... Ch. Vanderbilt's Man O'War "Manny" came out of the gate running on those beautiful pegs of his at 6 months of age, and hasn't looked back.  Taking BW for 4 points at his first 2 Canadian shows with competition, Manny then headed to Milwaukee for the GMSF Specialty where he won Best in Sweeps and RWD to a 5 point major.  He also won RWD the following 2 days. Three major reserves--to 3 different dogs!  Back home in Canada, Manny went on to finish his Can.Ch. at 7 months of age undefeated for the points, and with 2 BPIG's - shown by Judi and co-owner Linda Johnson.  On his first weekend out as a move up he took 1 BOS, 2 BB's, a Group 1, a Group 3, 3 BPIG's and 2 BPIS's - handled by Linda.  Hey girl --- congratulations --- you're "B-A-C-K"!!!!!
MANNY ... You musta been a beautiful baby ... cuz baby look at you now!
Fat Head? ... Big Hair?  55% leg length, neck, shoulder, body/chest,  tuck-up, moderate head, pigment, working coat AND that oh-so-rare lo-o-ong tib/fib.	Fat Chance! ... Big Winner! Manny displays the elegant athleticism of his dam "Flo", the showmanship of his sire "Heero", and the gentle nature of a great Samoyed.
He's not "overdone" ... "Manny in the Maritimes" - stay tuned for his Group/BPIS photos coming soon!	... he's just another Vanderbilt "overachiever"! "Good boy Manny!"

When you've got it, flaunt it (at the risk of being called pretentious of course!) Ch. Vanderbilt Paint Me Pretentious Danny and Tenny made short work of the Championship title - good job!  Watch for this talented team in the future!

Cute as a bug's ear ... ... a very sound, stylish, sweet and exceptionally good moving bug's ear that is!

Multi BIS,BISS Can.Am.Ch. Snowghosts Vanderbilt So Easy Claire - "taking it easy!!"
BIS #1 - July	BIS #2 - August
July - USA BISS - from the classes ... what a thrill!   Coming off of an astounding puppy show career in 2002 - Claire is now out as an adult and showing that it wasn't all just "puppy luck" (can you can guess what the critics had to say about her?)!  International judges are finding her for some of their highest honours.  Of course she is generously endowed in breed type, the finest coat texture/qualty, exquisite head detail, and at the other end - a great tail!  Underneath it all is fine running gear with big sidegait, and true coming/going movement.  She's an intoxicating CANADIAN ORIGINAL that's hard to resist!  Thank you again to her breeders Mike & Lee Anne Palutke!
