Here is another example of the Story Book Litter doing somthing other than winning in breed--at just a year already a functioning therapy dog with owner Mary Lugo of CA. Click here for more of Mabel being more than a perfect pet in parades, therapy sessions and general "all about the town" dog. MABEL is a new STAR puppy! And in March of 2009, as a yearling, she passed both her CGC & TDI with flying colors! Congrats to Mary & "stable Mable"! CLICK HERE for HER "PRINCESS DANE WEBSITE" Note on such fawn colored pups from Harlequin breeding: while never produced deliberately nor promoted as "rare" by the responsible breeder, these puppies are perfectly normal and the educated Harlequin breeder also neither denies their existence nor hides them, treating them as lesser.

Baby Zeb not only placed in the regular classes as a puppy at the 2008 National, but even makes it thru all the cuts to take a placement in one of the largest National Futurity Shows in GDCA history! He was Best Puppy Dog in Sweeps & pulled for Winners Dog at the large PN Specialty show & also Best Puppy Dog in Sweeps under Chantel Johnson & pulled for Winners Dog at the large PN Specialty show while just a baby--all owner handled!
