Very proud of the whole crew!

 

Skyview also has a Best in Specialty Show Winner!  BISS GCH CH Skyview’s Pride and Joy of Lux “Joy”.  The National Specialty Weekend was mid-October in Lebanon, TN.  Joy won the specialty on Friday, and on Saturday Joy took GCH Select.  The Friday Best of Winners (the best class dog there) was a son of our Nazik.  Best of Winners on Saturday was a son of Nazik from a different mother.  A Nazik daughter won an Award of Merit at the National and took GCH Select on Sunday.  

All of these tremendous wins, are a testament to the Skyview Program.

 

Joy winning Best in Specialty Show!  She is an Aloysius x Nikaia daughter and co-owned with Victoria Richter, who has done a fabulous job with her.  Her handler is Kristina Chriscoe, who has been phenomenal.

Many times our dogs are wanted for a higher purpose - a family guardian, a service dog. 

We take our placements seriously.

At Skyview we value genetic diversity.  We have imported a total of four dogs and have shipped frozen semen from across the country and around the globe.  Our latest imports ~~~ Nazik and Nikaia!!!! They came to us from Anne Hupel in France in January 2018.   Nazik became a Champion in June 2019!!  Nikaia became a Champion in November 2019!!  Both have passed their health testing!!!  We are delighted to have the genetic diversity and excellent examples of the breed for our program.
