Am CH Calypso American Express
'Cruz'

AKC # HD 311584, OFA: BJ 141G89F, CERF: BJ 138/88-31 born Nov 20,1985 - died July 2,1999 (cancer) I consider Cruz as much my foundation bitch as her mother, Flair. Cruz is on the American Brood Bitch Honor Roll w/10 champion offspring. At least 7-10 more of her children were destined for the ring, and either accidents or their owners failing to follow through on the showing contract kept them out of the ring. She could have been one of the breed's all-time top producers. Like her brother, Rhett, Cruz also tended to reproduce herself, but in her later generations, not the 2nd as did Rhett. We have seen her 'reappear' in the form of Calypso Z'Aire Express (Aero) from the Aatu x Annie litter, and in Calypso Griffon's Glory (Cricket), from the B'Aatu x Lady litter. Cruz produced daughters who racked up Winners Bitch honors at specialties:
* Ch Calypso Dressed To Kill....Cincinnati * Ch Calypso Grand Fantasy,JC....Chicago * Ch Calypso Ingenue....Chicago By far the most successful breeding for Cruz was the 3 time use of Ch Bar-Bin's Macho Man of Papalote, himself a #1 Basenji in the USA, and on the Stud Dog Honor Roll. Eight of Cruz's champion pups came from breedings to Macho. Cruz's Champion offspring:
* Ch Calypso Blaze of Glory * Ch Calypso Bossanova
* Ch Calypso Dakota * Ch Calypso Dekese * Ch Calypso Dressed To Kill * Ch Calypso Gambler * Ch Calypso Gold Card * Ch Calypso Grand Fantasy,JC * Ch Calypso Ingenue * Ch Calypso Indiana Jones O'Glemyr Cruz cemented the foundation that the basis of the Calypso type and quality was through its bitches. In generation after generation, the girls of Calypso have continued to reproduce the breed's classic foundations decades after they first appeared. We have done this by promoting tight linebreeding so that even when we do an outcross, we can blend right back in and lock type. We have also been fortunate in that among the direct Calypso progenitors were breedings in which any carrier Fanconi genes were not passed on - and we now know that carriers are indeed in everyone's early pedigrees dating from Ch. Kingolo on down all American stock. Certainly if we had been unfortunate enough to have had carrier genes present, our extremely tight linebreeding would have most likely resulted in the production of afflicted offspring and we have completely avoided that. We have never produced Fanconi or PRA and certainly never plan to take any chances that might change our record! |
