This litter was 12 months in the making and I eagerly anticipated keeping a male puppy. From a litter of 4, there were 3 males to consider. All puppies were well boned and had outstanding temperaments but "Xander" did stand out from birth!! When the time came to make a choice, it was not difficult as by this stage he had firmly cemented his rightful place at "Steadfast". Xander is very much a cuddly, yet exuberant and confident puppy who endears himself to all he meets. At this stage he and his sister are continuing to take it in turn to be Baby Puppy Of Breed. I am really looking forward to seeing what the future holds for this lovely youngster and hope that he can reflect some of his Daddy's history-making results in Sth Africa!! A HUGE indebted-type thankyou to Ron and Venessa Juckes for making this litter possible and allowing me to import semen from Glen; and also thankyou to them for the interest and friendship they have shown during the exciting last 12 months!!
