We are extremely proud and excited that Kanyon has come to join our family here at Shombay!

Kanyon arrived on Monday 1st September 2008 and trotted into the house after a four and a half hour car journey, without a care in the world, making friends with the other dogs immediately! He has the most beautiful, easy going nature and is a joy to have with us here and has us in hysterics as he is such a clown!

His dam is 'Hassle' - Int & Ir CH, GB CH Veldtkammer Lady Done A Bunk JW, she is also the UK Breed Record Holder and his sire is 'Pansa' - FCI INT, IT & SPAN CH Shangani Pansa-Dafina.

Kanyon's Hip Score is 5:12, Elbows 0:0 and he has been DNA tested for Haemophilia B Factor IX and is Homozygous healthy/clear.
Kanyon has sired 2 lovely litters so far; to CH.Veltkammer Face Bovvered JW & their offspring are doing extremely well in the UK Showring and also to Int CH Victoria Falls Chima-Lee of the Matobo Hills kennel in Germany. Chima Lee had 6 males & 5 females in December 2010. They too are making a very promising show career in Europe. There have been no sinus or ridgeless in either litter.
Kanyon has also mated Multi Int CH Shangani Ufalme Lioness and we excitedly await puppies due end of September 2011!

Here are a few of his critiques:-
"1st Open Dog - handsome upstanding young dog who was strongly built, well proportioned, in superb muscular condition & looked like he was fit for purpose, well angulated in shoulder and deep in brisket, with good ribbing & compact loin, excellent wide quarters with low hocks & sound driving movement, moved with effortless power, holding his topline. CC his first". Anne MacDonald Birmingham National May 2010.

"1st Puppy Dog - dark red of top drawer quality, handsome all through, excellent head qualities which is masculine & well balanced, lovely eye & expression, excellent length in neck which has power & strength, good ridge & topline, he is forward in body development, stands on super bone & compact feet, on the out & back he showed excellent rear drive & good forward reach, his profile was a joy to watch covering the ground with such free flowing strides, in first class order & well handled. In the dog line-up he grew on me even more RCC & BP surely will have a bright future". Mr Martin Sanders Border Union CH Show 2009.
