Our Champions
Irene, Multi Ch. Keygolde Rosemont v Blackhawk, PT has taken over as “Princess” of the house. She is the spitting image of her mother (Gena) with more bone and mischievous attitude. (BISS Ch. Charisma Ali Baba, CD, RN, CGC, HT v Multi Ch. Cortaillod Umbria, CGC, PT, JHD 2004)
Keya was The Boss of our household and the right-hand dog for everything that went on in the kennels and with the dogs. She kept the Standards under control and things moving along as she saw fit around the house. She was the “key” in the Keygolde Name

Noire, from our 2004 Litter. Sadly we lost "Noire" in January 2006 in a hit-by-car accident in Oregon. Her death was tragic and will reverberate in our hearts for some time to come.
