CH Rustic Lane Sugar Magnolia "Maggie"
"Maggie" is named for our favorite Grateful Deed song, "Sugar Magnolia." What else can we say, quoting the song, "She's got
everything delightful, she's got everything I need."
Maggie finished her AKC Championship in only three weekends, and went on to be Best of Opposite Sex (Toy Variety) at the 2005
AMTC National Specialty in Pocono Manor, Pennsylvania. Maggie also qualified for the AKC/Eukanuba National Championships that
year. Maggie recently produced her first litter, and her daughters, "Glory" and "Julie" are now showing in the Southeast.
Maggie will be making her second foray into motherhood shortly. See our Puppies and Litters page for details.

CH Rustic Petite Fleur of Shal-Mar "Toolie"
Somtimes referred to as "The Tool," "Toolie" was the quintessential show dog. She never put a foot wrong
in the ring. With exceptional movement and structure, Toolie completed her AKC championship from 6-9mo puppy class in tough
competition in Northern California.
Toolie had produced some really outstanding get since her retirement from the show ring. We're looking forward to her
final litter in the Summer of 2008 after which she will return to her sole occupation as her Daddy's favorite girl.
