Where do I begin??
This
27 pound chunk of perfection is one of the most handsome pieds I
have ever had the pleasure of breeding and sharing my life with.
'Tomahawk' has that glorious
full hood, and a solid white body that is as pure and clear as the
driven snow; no ticking, no place. And at Bullistik, that
'no ticking' policy is mandatory in our pied breeding
program.
He has beautiful heavy bone,
tight little cat feet, strong straight front, deep and wide chest,
pretty topline, nice tuck up and spring of rib, correct tail set,
moderate angulation, dark eyes that are tight in their sockets,
beautiful bat ears with correct ear placement, deep wide muzzle
that is well laid back, a monster square head, and the sweetest
temperament you'll ever find on a frogdog.
Of course Tomahawk has been
health screened and has the following certifications:
BAER: FBU-BR6/4M-PI
CERF: FBU-785/2006-14
CHIC:57817
OFA Cardiac:FBU-CA354/18M/P-PI
OFA Patella:FBU-PA447/18M/P-PI
OFA Hips: FBU-415F43M-VPI
OFA Elbows: FBU-EL211M43-VPI
Tomahawk's dam is our
bred-by fawn girl, Ch. Tea-D's Heart of Gold
'Belle', shown below with her owner/handler, Kimberly Rice, and
his sire is the very handsome Ch. Hollycrofts' Going Supersonic
'Gino'. I had the pleasure of
meeting Gino in person at the 2004 National Specialty and knew
right away that he was the right boy for our Belle, and Tomahawk
is living proof that I made the right decision.
Gino has passed the
following health clearances:
OFA Hips: FBU-196G26M-PI
OFA Patella:
FBU-PA326/24M/PI
Belle has passed the
following health clearances:
OFA Cardiac:FBU-CA217/51F/P-PI
OFA Elbows:FBU-EL59F29-PI
OFA Hips:FBU-121F29F-PI
Tomahawk has both of his
MAJORS toward his AKC Championship and earned those in his very
first weekend out as a show dog. What a way to start!
Tomahawk has been bred
sparingly and has produced several little SUPER STARS already.
From Tomahawk's first
litter, bred to our Black Mamba, his first born brindle son,
Adjatay Signe Bullistik, finished his AKC Championship
requirements easily, earning several Best of Breed placements
along the way.
'AJ' is
enjoying retirement from the show ring and is quite happy with his
new role as a stud dog here at Bullistik. His first litter
to CH. Bullistik I Am A Rockstar's
dam, Sahara, is due the end of
November 2009, and we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of AJ's
first babies. For more information on Adjatay,
please visit his page on our website.
Tomahawk's second litter
produced another shining star, a lovely little pied princess known
as 'Naughty', and I can assure you she tries her durndest to live
up to that call name.
'Naughty', otherwise known
as, Ch. Chitawee's Here Comes Trouble took no prisoners when it
was her turn to enter the show ring in that quest for her
title. Her first time in the ring was at the Northern
California French
Bulldog Club Specialty show where she politely took Winners Bitch
for her first FIVE POINT MAJOR!
Well, Naughty had only just
begun. Saturday following the Specialty was the
supported
entry at the Coyote Hills KC and guess what? Yep, Naughty
did it again; Winners Bitch for another whopping MAJOR! Well
she was on a roll now and no point lettin the momentum die out
so yep, Sunday came and with it another supported entry and
with that another FAT MAJOR for Naughty and her new CHAMPIONSHIP
title.
Congratulations to breeder
Kathy Clayton, owner Melissa Hagerstrand, and of course, the
rotten spotted child's proud papa, Tomahawk!
'Naughty' has the following
health clearances:
BAER:FBU-BR32/15F-NOPI
CERF: FBU-917
OFA Cardiac: FBU-CA428/16F/P-NOPI
OFA Patella: FBU-PA513/16F/P-NOPI
Tomahawk is still trying to
decide whether it is more important that he
travel the country, parading his wares in front of judges, or if
he prefers to hang out at home to continue to do what he does
best, entertain the ladies and make some more of those pretty
babies.
For now, he loves country
living, and is leaving it up to his kids and grandkids to play the
dog show game.
He prefers long walks in the
woods here at home, searching for crawdads (yuck) and posing for
photos every chance he gets.
After
all, Tomahawk thinks he is the bomb from any angle and loves
showing off his handsome physique.
