Rory' lives in Newburg,IN in a US Navy household with her new co-owner, Kelly Sprengel. Kelly used to be assigned to the USS Harry S. Truman, one of our colossal aircraft carriers as a nuclear specialist. The arrival of her baby boy, however, changed her priorities, and the Navy graciously permitted Kelly to retrain as a recruiter AND to relocate to be with her own family (as a single mom, that's VERY important!) in the Evansville, Indiana area.  Rory remains co-owned by Calypso.

  Roryis one of two Tux x Annie daughters available to us, both of whom have fantastic temperaments. The genetics behind this breeding are of paramount importance to our breeding program since they double up on Ch Calypso American Gigolo from whom our deep clear colors and wonderful, laid back temperaments descend. "Rhett" was not above some hyjinx of his own, but by and large, he was a couch potato/lap dog, and his descendents have been known for their friendliness and ease-of-training. They are Easy Keepers. Add Annie's inherent sensibility and love of water (!) and we have produced some wonderful 4-legged family members for their lucky owners. 

Rory will be taking her turn in the show ring once her black & white sister, Xi, gets the heck out of the rotation. We haven't decided whether to have Rory shown by handlers back in Indiana or bring her East and shown here, but when that aspect of her life is completed, we'll then we'll be looking for just the right mate for her. We have no doubt that Rory's pups will carry on in looks and temperament the 'Xtraordinaire' of their mother's name!
