Duke Udson is coming to the USA!

We are excited to announce that Duke Udson Junior de la Demeure Combreenne will be staying with us from late February to early September of 2012.  Duke is one of the top Dogues in Europe today and has already achieved his International, European and Luzumberg Championships.  

Duke will be available for Stud during his stay.  Contact us early if you hope to use Duke in an upcoming breeding as we are sure his Calendar will fill up quickly. 

We thank Fabienne and Jean-Michel of the de Mont Rebellis show kennel in France for entrusting Duke to us and making him more accessible to breeders in the United States.  We know it is not easy for them to let him out of there sight. 

You can view detailed information (Fabienne puts us all to shame in terms of maintaining her website) on Duke at the following link - http://www.demontrebellis.com/chien_details.php?id_chien=31

Facebook

Well, we finally broke down and joined facebook.  It is quite easy to upload and store pictures, so we might actually store recent photo's on facebook and possibly make some announcements.  It is a personal page though, and I may need to set up a business page.  I am still figureing it out.  But you are welcome to visit. 

I am not sure how to link to it yet, but it is under Mark Mcelderry - markandcindy@northlandbordeaux.com
