Here are the current dogs at Ocoee.


Ch. Legendary Shimmer
"Halle" is by Ch. Gilchrist Tomahawk out of Ch. Legendary Hearts Afire. She was bred by and is co-owned with our friend Liz Kiener. She is OFA Good and ACVO Normal.

Halle had four litters of puppies for us, and was a wonderful mom-an easy whelper and a devoted dam who loved her puppies. She has four Champion children. We are thrilled with Halle's contributions and very grateful to Dave and Liz for letting us have her.

Halle is retired and living the life of leisure on Melanie's couch, where she supervises and watches over the next generation of newborns.
Below are "Rugby" and "Marilyn"-sired by Ch. Wil-Orion's Northern Exposure out of Ch. Legendary Shimmer. Click on Rugby's picture to see their pedigree. They were born on January 5, 2005.
Am/Can. Ch. Ocoee Have An Absolute Ball


Rugby finished his championship handled by Melanie with four majors (two five point and two three point) from the BBE class. Amazingly, he was shown at only four all breed dog shows and he received a major at each of them, Best of Winners each time and once Best of Breed over seven Specials. Rugby is OFA Excellent, elbow normal, OFA Cardiac Normal, CERF certified, a DNA PRA carrier and a proven sire. Rugby is the proud sire of Millie's 2009 litter of eight beautiful babies, three of which are in show homes. One of the boys, Linus, is pictured at the bottom of the page.

Ch. Ocoee Absolute Possession

Marilyn completed her title a week past her second birthday, with all majors (4-4-4-5) from the BBE class. She was RWB and Best in BBE classes at the Saturday Chattahoochee Specialty and BW and Best in BBE classes at the Sunday specialty to finish her title in great style. Marilyn was shown at a total of nine dog shows, four Specialties and five all-breeds. She's OFA good, OFA Cardiac Normal and CERF Normal. Marilyn is proving to be a priceless producer, with two children already Champions from her first litter and more promising puppies coming up.
Pictured below is Millie, who is by Ch. Springbrook Tagalong My Own Magic out of Ch. Pawmarc's Neon Hightlights. She was bred by Pat Wilaby and Bobbie Daniel. Millie is a fifth generation descendant of the bitch we sold Pat many years ago Ch. Ocoee Whispering Jesse, and she has eleven crosses in her pedigree to our foundation sire, Ch. Winacko's Classic Replay CD.

At her first dog show in January of 2006, Millie was Best In Sweepstakes over an entry of 65 puppies. Shown at a total of eight all breed shows, she was WB or better seven times. At Specialties she was BW at the ESSCM annual fall specialty, RWB at four other Specialties and 3rd in Open at the 2007 ESSFTA National. She finished with 17 points, three majors, shown exclusively by Kathy.

Millie is OFA Good, OFA Elbow Normal and CERF certified. She has had three litters for us and her puppies are as sweet, smart and beautiful as she is. Many of them will be seen in the show and performance rings.

Meet Theo, the boy we kept from Ch. Silverhill Sea Dog Go out of Ch. Ocoee Absolute Possession. He was born January 11, 2009. He lives in Michigan with Kathy.

Theo began his show career with a BANG!

Best in Sweepstakes at the National Specialty from the 6-9 class and 1st in the regular 6-9 class!

Following this auspicious debut, Theo never looked back. Shown in nine Specialty Sweepstakes, he was Best In Sweeps at six of them and Best of Opposite Sex at one.

He finished his title by going BW and Best Puppy at American Spaniel Club in 2010, then two weeks later going WD at Chattahoochee ESSC, then at his very next Specialty (Susquehanna Valley) he was BW for his third Specialty major and his title at 14 months of age!

Theo is as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside. He is just the coolest dog imaginable.

Theo is OFA preliminary Good, OFA Elbow Normal, OFA Cardiac Normal and CERF certified.

This is Theo's brother Dakota, and he is aptly named as he has been GOING for his Championships full steam ahead from the puppy class!

Dakota is owned by Bob and Trace Mauldin of Jacksonville, Florida and co-owned by Melanie.

At the National Specialty, Dakota was second to his brother Theo in both 6-9 classes.

He has been shown mostly by his Junior Handler Trace, and on April 3rd, 2010 he finished his Championship by going Best of Breed over a Special! Way to go Trace and Dakota! We are so proud that you finished at 14 months old, just two weeks after your brother Theo completed his title.

We look forward to watching Trace and Dakota in the Juniors ring and down the road they plan to compete in the Specials class.
