I'm glad I listened to him when he decided to stay. His pedigree includes some of my favorite dogs and he represents the best in them.  Xenta, Gucci,  Ch. Jib, Ruff, Izzy - they all live on in this handsome youngster.
 
Fairway's Satchmo v Nadewald
   Louie's handsome black and red coat just highlights his really nice structure. But best is his fabulous personality. He is FUN. He wants to learn. He wants to be right. And even as a small pup, when something startled him, he went forward to investigate.
   We did not plan on keeping another boy - but then it occurred to us that Gordy was over 7 and by the time we trained and titled a new pup, he would be 10. Meanwhile Louie had been telling me right along that he was not going anywhere. Just like Gordy did when he was a pup.

   Louie and his dad are good buddies and Gordy is already starting to teach him all the important things in life.

   This is a pup who gets attention wherever he goes - be it from American show enthusiasts, performance folks, or import breeders.
