CH C-Myste Kahlua’n Cream (Kayla)
Kayla started life as “my girl” and had 5 points out of Bred-by exhibitor as a puppy. Unfortunately when Alice came to live with us, the two disagreed about who would be my number one. So Kayla went to live with – and be co-owned with – Léo-Cadie Washburn.
After a hiatus from the ring, Kayla came back in grand fashion. She was WB for a 5-point major at the supported entry in Richland, WA September of 2008. She then followed it up with 3 more majors in two weekends in November, 2008.
She had one litter for Léo which was sired by my Huxley, and is now in a retirement home in Washington.

Ch Phi-Vestavia Inkling x Ch Phi-Vestavia Embers of Xtacee

Juneau was our first special and our first real tragedy. He went down in the back at the height of his career, on New Years’ weekend when he was just short of 5 years old. After surgery, he lived for another 2.5 years before we lost him to a further degeneration in August of 2003.
I learned many things from Juneau, some of which I would have preferred not to know.
