• The first photo shows "Chipper" taking Best of Opposite Sex at the 1984 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. 

• The second photo shows "Chipper" and his mom, "Meghan".  They are shown together here as Chipper won BOS to his mom at the 1982 GSCA National Specialty.  Meghan earned BOB honors.

• The third photo is the photo that we saw of Chipper when we bought "Spice" back in 1984.  We loved the look of this dog then, and we love his look now.  The look is truly timeless.

She is the daughter of our Ch. Glen Oaks' Firedance o' Amethyst (Fire) x our MacAlder J'Amethyst Royale (Storm).

• Medium-sized, fluid moving Gordon Setter with personality plus.

• OFA-Good

We look to this breeding to produce incredible breed type, movement and personality.  In doing this breeding, we go back into the "old time" MacAlder and Shojin  lines to combine Chipper's strengths with those of Ice and her MacAlder and Shojin background, along with a splash of Tartana, Gordon Hill and Black Anvil.
