Sunny D is  a low station, short coupled, very balanced, clean, good temperament, beautiful black/red German/American cross girl. We just started her AKC competition this spring and she's already garnished 2 RESERVES, out of the Novice Classes, with Strong competition. Not bad for just starting out. Of course she's handled and owned by Patrick Mazepink. Her grandfather was my sweet CH PT. SUNNY DELIGHT. We look to have a lot of fun with this home-bred girl.

Von Hornberger's Summer
Breeze OFA

As you can see (from the picture above)   this was quite a day! Avia thought it was play time. But did manage to still place second in her quality filled class. Thank you
Mrs. Vicki Roye for your very nice compliments on our girl, and this placing. Thank you Leslie for your expertise in handling Avia, aka "The Kangaroo".

Avia is out of our "sneakers" litter.  Avia is a very intelligent rich black/tan beauty.  She has dark eyes, full dentition and strong ears.  Avia is not overly angulated but she sure apllies herself with her smooth, floating gait while being clean at both ends.  Avia's lines go back to Ch. Sheroby's Dare to Dream, Stars and Stripes, Allegro, Icon, AOE Black Jack, Sundance Kid and Covy Tucker Hill.  Her grandmother is Von Hornberger's Diamond Onyx, UD, OFA H/E (rated #10 GSD in obedience in the Northeast). 

Avia's first three times out she won the 9 to 12 month puppy bitch class under judges Mary Gattone, Peggy Lee and Bob Moore.   She also won Best Senior Puppy under George Berstler at the Delaware Valley specialty match.

Avia is now owned by Larry and Susan Legg of Henderson, MD and co-owned by Georgianna Hornberger. Thank You Larry and Susan for believing in my girl and resuming her show career. We are expecting to have a lot of fun with Avia, she is a neat girl!

FLASH!! Avia has just earned her "TC" title... temperament certified!

Thank You Leslie for getting the first Major on Avia

FLASH!! Avia is now a Champion

Thank you Larry and Susan for finishing my girl and giving her a forever loving home.
