Happy belated 1st birthday to Stavros and his littermates Carmel, Phrankie and Lake! 
So blessed for our breeder to trust us with her pick male. We weren't really looking but with some encouragement and a puppy sit or two later, he had our hearts! Sadly our breeder lost his (and Ripley's) father this year after a neck injury from an accident a year ago eventually left him paralyzed. It was no life for him so they had to make the tough decision. We are honored to have a Vlad son that looks and acts so much like his daddy every day.

Can't wait to see all the fun we will have this year! He will continue to be lightly hitting the show ring and eventually more seriously as he matures (and once Ripley finishes). I plan to start training him on odors for scentwork too as I think he would do well and have a lot of fun with that!
The day we took him home with us after a show to puppy sit lol.
How can you not fall in love
He went back to his breeders for a bit, we puppy sat his brother Carmel, and then a month later she told us he was ours.
My youngest to pass their CGC so far at 6 months
Thinking he's on the cover for stud magazine.
Stavros cheesin'. He smiles A LOT but I barely could grab a pic of it he's so fast.
Stavros celebrated his birthday yesterday with lots of good training at Lowe's then came home to enjoy his new shark toy and a bully stick.
