Hawthorne Black Dragon's Cauldron - "Raven"

Raven is a Yellowstone Litter puppy out of Freyja and sired by Dylan (Sugalba Pigs Might Fly at Moondance). She is a Red Gray Tamaskan and was born on January 11, 2012. She graduated from Puppy Kindergarten, and is a recipient of the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program. She graduated from Manners class in Summer of 2012 as well as Beginners Agility class.

We tested all of the female pups in the Yellowstone litter for DM, as so many folks expressed an interest in breeding. At the time, only females would be going to breeding homes so we tested all five females. Their results can be viewed here. Raven is a "Carrier" for DM: N/n. This means that she must be bred to only "Clear" males: N/N so that pups she produces will all only be clear: N/N or carrier: N/n. No pups from a resulting mating will suffer from the disease. Raven's hip scores were done in Summer of 2013 and she is a BVA 10 -- a great improvement over her dam's hip testing! Raven also has a perfect score for elbows: BVA 0/0. She also has a normal CAER eye test as of April 2015 and again in 2016.

Raven won Best of Breed at the US Tamaskan Dog Club Annual Breed Show in Madison, WI on June 15th, 2013!
