Erik wins a major and best of breed from the puppy class at a show in CA with his wonderful owner Lynn Smithson. Erik is the first son out of Raven so far to be major pointed.

Erik is a beautiful puppy and will be another puppy star just like his father.  Look for little Erik at the Monteray Specialty Show in Northern CA this upcoming weekend.  I have a sneaking suspicion that Col.

International Debut


Xzotika's Send me an Angel aka Isis made her International debut in Sweden at the My Dog Annual dog show.  Isis, just a little over 6 months of age won Best Afghan Puppy on both of the days that she showed.  We have received many wonderful comments about her performance and how wonderful it was to see such a primitive, authentic type of afghan reminiscent of the original imports from the 1930's.  We are very excited about this bitches future and wholeheartedly thank her co-owner Inngun for taking such good care of her and believing in the pedigree.  Isis is out of CH Xzotika's Man in the Mirror X CH Aries Jolie Blonde.  She is line bred on the Aries, Jubilan, Coastwind side of our pedigree.

Three's a charm


Before Tanzi or Tyra had their puppies I dreamed that Tyra had three puppies and one was a pretty silver blue brindle boy.  Well I had my bitches mixed up and Tanzi, Xzotika's Shades of Grace was the one that had the litter of three.  Two boys and One girl in colors of cream, black and silver blue brindle.  Tanzi's puppies were born on Dec. 27th.  So far the puppies look incredible.  Nice and fat and healthy.  These pups are also out of our wonder dog Raven, CH Xzotika's Nevermore.  Hopefully Mr. Raven is strong for his star power in the ring.  He finished his title in less than a month at ten months of age.  Stay tuned for 8 week old photo's.
