News About This Litter:
Adobe eans a new agility title AXJ (Excellent Jumpers with Weaves). With the addition of this title, Adobe likely has earned his VCX (Versatility Certificate Excellent)! Congrats to Adobe & Sally Kepfer! (*VCX pending confirmation)
(Puppies estimated to be born in June and going to new homes in early August)
We are excited to announce that the Sire of our upcoming litter is:
Adobe, DC Wheatridge's Orion Adobe Sunset CDX OA AXJ SC RX VCX*
and the Dam is:
Eva, CH Paradigm's Paradise Regained
(see thumbnails below for a slideshow of Adobe and his relatives)
Adobe is an incredibly versatile young dog, excelling not only in the conformation ring, but on the field, in obedience and in agility. Adobe is not only an AKC Conformation Champion, but a Field Champion, as well. Thus, he is a Dual Champion (DC). He is also titled in obedience (CDX) and agility (OA, AXJ) and has earned his "Versatility Certificate Excellent" (VCX*). Adobe continues to compete in the agility ring and is in training for utility. He is currently ranked as the #5 Ridgeback in Obedience (RRCUS; Sept. '11).
Adobe's pedigree is here and his health clearances are here. He is owned by Sally Kepfer and co-owned & bred by Pat Brunstetter (co-bred by Judy Lichtman).
Adobe is sired by our own Zeus, DC Paradigm Aristos by Ridgelea SC LCM CGC ROM (from our 2001 Litter) and is out of Ruby, CH Echobe's Ruby of Wheatridge JC CDX, who is sired by top-winning "Raj" CH Ridgelea's Rajput Agnikant ROM.
Adobe's littermates are well-accomplished, as well:
Littermate to "Sandie", multi-High in Trial, multi-Group Winning and Placing, GCH Wheatridge’s Pecan Sandie UDX2 OM2 — the only Hound invited to the prestigious Eukanuba show for both conformation & obedience and Sandie did not disappoint, she won the #1 Hound award in Obedience!
Littermate to "Ava", the 2011 Westminster K.C. Best of Opposite Sex Winner, CH Echobe’s Starlet of Wheatridge JC
Littermate to "Chevy", Wheatridge's Powerful Chevy FCh RN SC, an ASFA Field Champion and a Senior Courser in AKC lure coursing
We are excited about the prospect of this combination with Eva, since it brings us back closer to the foundation roots from whence our breeding program originated. Adobe brings a rich and deep pedigree focusing on conformation, lure-coursing and obedience -- not to mention the sweetest temperaments. This combined with the wonderful attributes that Eva brings, will result in what we hope will be performance-based progeny with excellent temperaments and conformation.
A pedigree for the proposed combination is below: 
Eva is pictured below, finishing her AKC conformation championship with a 4 point major. She has a beautiful front, neck and topline.

She also has wonderful side-gait, as you can see below.

Her greatest trait, however, is that she is a true "people lover". You can read more about her here.
