The goal of any breeder who is in this sport for the long haul - the ones I call the "keepers of the breed" aspire to acquire the titles of Sire and Dam of Merit, or Sire and Dam of Distinction on their dogs. These titles are awarded by the Papillon Club of America to dogs that have produced a high number of Champion progeny. To breeders like myself, this is the ultimate title we seek to for our dogs. It is one thing to show a dog to its Champion title - and we ackowledge that requires a lot of hard work and dedication. But the ULTIMATE goal is to produce dogs that are capable of consistently producing progeny that are of such high quality that they can become Champions of Record. We are proud that our breeding program has produced NINE such titled dogs: Ch. Sherjak's Fancy Feathers, DOM (Dam of Merit); Ch. Berman's Roi-L Candide, SOM (Sire of Merit), Ch. Skorr's Tallyho, SOM (Sire of Merit), Sherjak's Sheer Bliss, DOM (Dam of Merit), Ch. Sherjak's Creme Brulee, DOM (Dam of Merit), Ch. Alfa's Superstar, SOM (Sire Of Merit) and Sherjak's Over The Moon, SOM (Sire of Merit), and Ch. Houm Tet A Tet Maestro, SOM (Sire of Merit).
Russian & Am. Ch. Houm Tet A Tet Maestro, SOM, CHIC #133446, PRA, NAD, VWD and Factor VII Clear!
The New Kid On The Block is Russian & Am. Champion MILO! We were fortunate to import Milo in July of 2018. He amazed us by immediately enjoying Florida living by floating and swimming while he learned a new language - English! He quickly finished his American Champion title in October of 2018. He is DNA tested clear of PRA, NAD, VWD and Factor VII and has his CHIC number. Despite COVID restrictions (no dog shows) he acquired ihs Sire of Merit Title in 2021. He has accomplished everything I dreamed of when I imported him.
Sherjak's Game Changer, PRA, NAD, VWD and Factor VII Clear, CHIC #164686
Tucker is one of our last Jagger sons and we think Jagger saved the best for last before he retired! He is a small tri color boy with outstanding personality and beautiful movement. Tucker's dam is our Polish import, Layla. He and Gino are still a puppies in these pictures - hence their coat is not at full length.
Sherjak Rules The Road, PRA, NAD, VWD and Factor VII Clear, CHIC #164681
Gino is the other Jagger son that we are using in our breeding program going forward after we retired his sire, Jagger. Jagger is a beautiful white & black boy out of our German Import, Carla. He is small and has excellent movement and breed type. Like his sire, he likes to be held and cuddled.
Ch. Diamondsun's Vagabond, PRA/NAD/VWD/Factor VII clear, CHIC 174259
We imported Vinny in January of 2022 and obtained his Champion title in June, 2022. We are excited to have him for our future breeding plans. He is a grandson of the amazing Russian dog, Aspervall's Whistleblower. Our handsome Milo is a son of the same great dog. We foresee amazing puppies in the future combining these two dogs.
Back with us is handsome GCh. Sherjak's Nascar King. Petty is PRA/NAD/VWD and CV VII Clear and has a normal CHIC number. He is an excellent producer and is just 3 points away from his Sire of Merit title which we expect in 2023. We look forward to 2 or 3 litters by Petty this year.
