Shadegardens
"Legacy" Litter, 2025/2026

Mom is our stunning French blue bicolor chick, Phoebee, her hubby is the handsome Maximilian, and with this mating we linebred (3:3) to an exceptional american stud
AKC/ASCA GCh. Emptynest Silver Lining "Sterling"

We dreamt about this breeding from the moment we chose Phoebee.
We looked for an elegant bicolor female, with Hrannar (Highrails a Devil in Disguise) in her pedigree, with even a strong showline background.....that is how we found her, a granddaughter of Sterling....and I can assure you she totally fulfilled our expectations. She is the Champion of Hungary, and "selected for breeding" based on her conformation, health and work results. She represents an always reliably stable high quality.
A lot of researche and a long journey with a couple of obstacles and dead-ends led us to Maximilian, who is a most handsome and impressive black male with gorgeous expression and a sweet and cheerful character, also a grandchild of Sterling, and a son of Limelite's Kleinfeld, and who already has some beautiful and successfull offspring.
It is a perfectly healthy litter based on the parents' health clearences.
When we planned the first Shadegardens, we envisioned a carefully planned litter with no compromises, something like this. Individual presentaions are below!
