The Fox Meadow Elf litter born June 17, 2010 3 female, 2 males |
Runestone Toblerone Kaffisson "Tobi" |
International/National -CH UKC-Ch Thordunu Leppatuska "Elsie" |
Our Elsie is such a little Pixie. She is quick, clever and always ready with a grin. She's a dog that seems to always get the joke, we often wonder if she's laughing with us or at us. Elsie is devoted to her people and loves to go out to meet new folks. Tobi is like a little Imp, a mischievous prankster always up for playtime. He's a very cuddly guy leaping into my Father's lap or jumping into the cab of the tractor to hang out. Runestone Toblerone Kaffison is out of the USA's first male AKC Champion. Toblerone's half brother Fox Meadow Jolasveinn, out of Thordunu Leppatuska is a multiple Best of Breed Winner and has been placed as a United Kennel Club Best in Multi Breed Show winner. We are very excited about this combination. These two characters could only produce a litter of fun loving Elves! In Iceland a survey revealed that 54% of Icelanders believe in elves and hidden folk. Well, we think that it certainly is more fun to believe that they do too. In honor of the Icelandic Elves we are remembering them here in the USA with this litter.

This Litter is dedicated to the memory of my mother, Shirley Ann Caputo Secondino. Who lost her 10 year battle with Breast Cancer in 2009. If not for her, Dad and I could never have had a life full of our animal companions; and Dad could have never shared with me his lessons of being responsible to your animals first. Mom was my number one supporter in getting involved with raising and showing this delightful breed. Dad jumped at the chance to have a new little buddy to pal around with when Elaine Mozur and sister Dolores Porrino of Runestone Icelandics delivered Toblerone to them. Mom always loved a good story and being creative. She would have really enjoyed the theme of this litter. I know I would be receiving packages in the mail with little Elf novelties to take the puppies photos with. As they saying goes: "Every Child needs a dog and a mother who will let them have one" Thanks mom for letting us have our dogs, my life wouldn't be complet without them. |
