Our Russian Boy Petie makes US Debue

2012-08-25


We are proud to introduce our Russian import Gemma Stonhendge Poetic Justice of McVan (aka Petie). Petie was bred by our friend Mariana Khenkina. His sire is Sansibiliti Spy Who Loved Me, a top winning dog from Russia and our own Russian Ch. McVan's to Russia with Love (aka Knopa).

We are pleased to introduce Petie to the fancy. He has a strong front with clean elbows, deep brisket. His head is long, brick-shaped with small, high set ears. He carries his tail up at alert. He has a strong black coat. We are well pleased with our import and feel he will be useful in our and others breeding programs.

In his first shows in the USA, he earned a five point major, going breed over a special. He currently has seven points (half way to his championship in the USA).
