"FEATHER"

I did the breeding of Tullia to Trademark for specific reasons, and Feather was the puppy that had what I was looking for as a bridge to the next generation. Feather is an honest bitch with a wonderful shoulder and rear drive, and is very balanced and has a great harsh, weather proof coat. Her movement all three ways is super, she holds her topline and reach and drive are correct. She holds her low set tail correctly on the move. She is very friendly and outgoing and her tail never stops wagging! Feather has points toward her UKC champion title. She is an AKC champion and finished with four majors, including under herding group specialists James Moses and Fred Basset.

Feather is currently working on her bronze Grand Champion AKC title. co-owned with the Myers family, Feather gave us 4 gorgeous boy puppies in July of 2022. Three will be seen in show rings in 2023. Her son Jacob (Rubad Justify) has already won a Best Beginner Puppy in Show at 4 and a half months of age in E Lansing, MI under Akita breeder judge Rita Biddle. Son Fish went puppy group 1 at the Medina KC AKC B puppy match in December, 2022.

"TULLIA"

Tullia is now spayed but has been trying her paw at performance sports in 2021 and 2022. She got her Canine Good Citizen title in March of 2022, and her first Barn Hunt title the same month! After just one set of classes, she completed her Novice title in one weekend and then zipped through her open title and picked up a senior leg all in a row! Tullia has now completed her Master's title and will move on to RAT Championship. She shows great talent and promise in this sport, so she and I will be competing more this year.

Named for a Renaissance poet to tie in both dad Keats and mom Phoebe, Tullia is named for Tullia D'Aragona, a famed 16th century courtesan-poet, who wrote the book Dialogues on the Infinity of Love in 1547.

Tullia exploded onto the show scene at just over 6 months of age, winning WB and BOW both days at the East Lansing, MI show in November, 2015 under breeder judges Dave and Debbie Anthony. She won both majors and was half way to her champion title in only one weekend! She won 2 points in Indianapolis and the 4 point major in Louisville, following in her mother's pawsteps! Shown just 6 times, Tullia finished at the National with four majors under breeder judges.


Tullia finished her AKC Championship in style by going Winner's Bitch and Best Bred-By at the Cardigan National Specialty in May of 2016! Not to be upstaged by her sons at the 2019 National Specialty in St. Louis, Tullia achieved an Award of Merit under respected breeder judge, Jon Kimes.

She had some nice wins in 2018 and early 2019. Tullia won Brood Bitch in a large field at Nationals in 2021 under breeder judge Leah James with sons Hug and Finn.





I am extremely grateful to co-breeders, Jill Rauh of Rhyfeddol and Amy Hill of Raglan kennels (hence, RRR), for allowing me to lease their Phoebe for this litter. Though we only got two puppies, the lone girl, Tullia, was everything I was hoping for in this breeding.

Tullia has beautiful structure, lovely dark pigment and eyes, lovely head piece with correct proportions. She is correctly stationed with excellent body length and has a long, correctly shaped rib cage. She has just the right amount of substance for the breed while still managing to be beautifully feminine. Tullia has an awesome, friendly and happy temperament that draws her favorite thing - people - to her. Her topline is level and she carries her low set tail correctly on the move. She moves very well all three ways and has that spark that separates the nice show prospects from the truly great ones. Tullia has produced nice puppies in her two litters.
