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, 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 and CERF Normal and had a beautiful litter of three boys in January of 2009. See Theo and Dakota below. Marilyn was bred to Ch. Pawmarc Moonlight Seduction for a late summer 2009 litter and gave us seven lovely babies, see Niles, the one we kept, below.
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 whelped a beautiful litter sired by Ch. Esspecial Twice In a Blue Moon on July 2, 2008 and was such a good mom we named her 'Mother of the Year'. The puppy we kept, Amy, is pictured further down the page. Millie had another beautiful litter in August of 2009 sired by our own 'Rugby'. Three of those babies are in show homes.
