2022 - 2023 No Planned Breedings
We do not have any upcoming breeding plans. (Updated November 14, 2022) 2021 Planned Litter
**Update: Unfortunately Piper developed pseudo placentational hyperplasia with mucometra. These are potentially life threatening issues so we opted for the safest course of treatment and she underwent an immediate emergency spay. Fortunately she is back to her spirited self after a smooth recovery** We are excited to share the news of our recent breeding. We hope to confirm her pregnancy in mid March. Eiko vom Landgraf SchH3 IPO3 FH AD ZTP1A x AKC CH Irongate’s Butterfly Kisses CGC TKA RATN We proudly use Puppy Culture protocols and feel that this gives our puppies the best possible start. We base our home placements upon ongoing observations during early socialization, as well as temperament testing done at 7 weeks of age. 2020 "A" Litter Highlights
Bell'Lavoro Figlio di un Pistola CGCA THD TKA FPr1 TR3 IGP3(x5)
x CH Irongate's Butterfly Kisses CGC TKA RATN RN Piper was bred to Keeper, a highly accomplished European working line dog in Spring 2020. Titled in both therapy work and IGP, the sire contributed genetic diversity and a solid working temperament to the litter. Kickturn's All Off Piste TKN is living his best life here in Tahoe with us. He is chill dude whose happy go lucky attitude belies how many working line traits he inherited from his sire. His strength and drive keeps me on my toes during training, but it has been incredible to see things start to come together as he matures. We like to joke that maybe there is a brain behind that testosterone. Unfortunately, we don't have a nearby working club, so his current training is focused on life skills and formal obedience. We plan to explore tracking with him once the snow melts in the spring. We have not yet decided if we will pursue sport titles with him. UKC CH Kickturn's Alpenglow CGC TKN SAR-HRD is named for the alpenglow seen on Mt. Rose from many places in the North Lake Tahoe area. Rose recently completed her search and rescue certification with her co-owner in the Midwest. Kickturn's Alpine Tahoe is named for the iconic alpine lake of the northern Sierras. Tahoe has been placed in a competitive performance home in Germany where his eternal zest for life is shining bright. It has been a pleasure to watch his training progress under the expertise of his owner. Kickturn's A Perfect Camber CGC CGCA TKA ACT1 is living the beach life, so it is fitting that Beneteau's registered name is a play on words - camber is both a sailing and alpine skiing term. Under the expert training of his owner, Ben is becoming a model citizen as well as learning foundations for his future in dog sports. |

Piper: Kickurn's Foundation Bitch
CH Irongate's Butterfly Kisses CGC TKA RATN RN Piper is a five year old American show + performance line dog and family companion. Her driven yet biddable nature makes her an active family companion. Her favorite pastimes are bikejoring, hiking, nosework, rally obedience, and snuggling in with whatever family member she can steal blankets from. She absolutely loves training and is tireless whatever she sets her mind to. Before retiring from conformation showing, Piper took an owner-handled Grand Champion major placement her first weekend out as a special. She is fully health tested to OFA CHIC standard.
