Bb Ee ky/ky at/at S/sp m/m *Not a merle carrier
Clover was bred to outside stud, Small Standard, Riot.
Announcement: It has come to our attention that Riot, not owned by myself, was sold to a Merle breeder. Subsequently, anonymous rumors are now being spread that Riot's line has merle in it. To my knowledge, that insinuation is incorrect. I researched Riot's line to the best of my ability before deciding to use him. It was the intervariety influence of Riot's line that appealed to me. Riot does have merle connections through his horizontal pedigree; however, his genetics, in of itself to the best of my knowledge and research is merle free. Riot is Embark color tested as m/m, not a carrier of Merle. I have ordered the M locus test for our keeper boy, Romani, and will submit those results on OFA for transparency.
We are expecting only solids in red/apricot or black/blue to mature less than 40 lbs. Clover's small size comes from her dam who was a Medium import. Riot's small size is due to intervariety influence with miniature behind him. Both compliment eachother very well. Clover is sweet and incredibly gentle. She is low energy with moderate drive. She makes a beautiful sofa ornament. Riot is very sweet, moderate energy and drive, with a goofy and playful personality. I am expecting calm, sweet, and biddable family pets.

Diversity Pairing!
Riot is very diverse and this is a Category 10 pairing. We are expecting excellent diversity and all the puppies will be diversity tested.
We are very excited about these results. The Breed Average OI is 0.25, and the Flora babies tested well above that. The Breed Average IR is 0.02 and all the Flora babies tested well below that. These results prove we reached the goal we set when choosing this pairing. Because we heavily improved upon Clover's diversity in this breeding, the next pairing we do on this line in the next generation has more leeway to focus on Structure as our next goal.
Clover has excellent Pennhip scores of 0.14 and 0.11. She is health tested above and beyond CHIC recommendations. She is clear on DNA for everything.
Riot has clear Embark and had his eyes and heart updated very recently. He is also DB/RD clear (pictured below).
Both Clover and Riot are DB/RD Clear.
Both Clover and Riot do not carry for Merle.
Romani does not carry for Merle. The same DNA we used to Diversity test the entire litter at UC Davis was used to carry out the Merle test.
Our Keeper from the Flora litter was Cactus! He will mature in a co-own show home and I am excited to see his future!
We are very excited about what we got from this pairing!
