Keesha v d Heckenrose
Keesha v d Heckenrose, (Ch. Alma v. d. Heckenrose X Uto v.
Murrtal) our foundation bitch was from Manfred and Sylvia
Kauffman’s kennel. She produced our "A" and "B" litter which
consisted of eight males and nine females. Of those, four attained
their LCA championships (three of those also were World Wide
Kennel Club Champions), One, LCA Ch. Cherrywood's Becka,
became the first female to be awarded the LCA Top Leo award.
Four of Kiersche's offspring went on to start families of their own.
Kiersche, a world class fence climber, was a wonderful Leo, an
avid fisherman, highly intelligent and started me on the road to
developing Cherrywood Kennels. She lived to be 10 1/2 years old.

LCA, RH Ch. Cherrywood's About Time
"Barkley" ( Keesha v d Heckenrose X Ch. Coomar Egon) was our
male from our "A" litter and the light of my life for almost 10 years.
He was a beautiful dog on the inside as well as the outside;
wonderfully gentle, patient, and devoted. He attained his LCA
Championship quickly and was a multi-Best of Breed winner as
well as multi-placing Group and a Best in Regional Specialty
winner. Barkley was the sire of our bitch Stella. He was known for
passing his wonderful temperament on to his offspring, many of
whom ended up working as Therapy dogs.
Barkley was named "About Time" because for years my husband
had lived with not only a wife and daughter but 7 female dogs, a
couple of female sheep, a few female guinea pigs and female
rabbits. It was "about time" he got a boy to live with us! Barkley
lived to be 9 1/2 years old.

LCA Ch. Zider v. Loh
Zider (Wilhelmine v. Loh X Achat v der Hirschalde) was our German
import from Herr Zerle's v Loh kennel. She was our funniest Leo,
constantly smiling and wagging her tail, often waking us up in the
middle of the night as her tail thumped against the wall! She never
had a bad day and was a wonderful friend for almost eight years.
Zider was Winner's bitch at the LCA National Specialty in '97
from the puppy classes and grew up to take Best Opposite Sex at
the LCA Nationals in NY and at a number of Regional LCA
Specialties. She produced not only a number of Leos who have
obtained their LCA Ch. but also some who are working in Therapy.
Zider helped our breeding program continue to be known for its
wonderful temperaments. Zider died 10 days before her 8th
birthday.

Rave (Malarlejonet Pebbles X Ch. Slattvika's Bobo Bear) was an
elegant bitch I imported from Slattvika's kennel in Norway in the
fall of 1998. She was sweet, energetic, and a beautifully moving
girl. She lived with her co-owner in MI. Rave is the dam of our
Cherrywood's "L" litter with multi Best In Regional Specialty
winner, Ch. Darius v Alpensee. Rave is the dam of LCA Ch.
Cherrywood's Lion Sleeps Tonight.
Three of the offspring from our L litter are showing in
conformation, obedience and agility now and doing very well. I am
looking forward to watching our litter of her grandchildren grow
up as our O litter is a product of one of her sons, with our girl,
Sally. This year we hope to have a second litter from another of
Rave's grandchildren. Rave lived to be 7 1/2 years old.
