Glemyr-Calypso Fantasia
'Annie'

AKC#: HM 55480903 OFA: BJ-534G27F-T, CERF: BJ-453/1996 born Dec 23,1994 breeders: Glenda & Myrl Galdeen, MI owners: Dawn Fritts of Covington, VA & Susan Patterson & Kevin Brothers, NC Annie is another of our Rhett (Ch Calypso American Gigolo) daughters, out of a daughter of Cruz, his litter sister, so she is the product of a tight line breeding. Annie got her sire's size, 17" x 17", so she is an inch above Standard for a bitch. She is not petite by any means, and so looked actually bigger than she measured. She needed her majors to finish when we pulled her from competition for maternity duty. Annie was bred to Multi-Ch. Terrarust Calypso Black Tie and produced a fabulous litter. It was the first breeding for the two of them, and so I allowed the litter to mostly head to pet homes despite the preponderance of show pups, fully planning on repeating this and reversing the sale parameters. It was a 3 color litter (black/white pups, a tri, and red/whites), and all inherited Grandpa Rhett/Daddy Tux/Mama Annie's rockhard toplines, and beautiful heads. sigh... like all plans that can and DO go awry.... we finally repeated the breeding in Fall 2002 only to discover that -HORROR OF HORRORS- Tux was now sterile. I cannot even begin to describe my remorse at the ramifications to our breeding program due to this new reality. The first and only breeding of Annie and Tux put two bitches 'out there' for show and breeding: black/white 'XI' (home here at Calypso) and tri-colored 'RORY' (in DeKalb,MO at LACADA basenjis with Larry, Carol & Dallas Hunt - though a health crisis brought Rory back to us, and now she lives insouthern Indiana). Rory is nearly a duplicate of Annie, only 16 x 16 inches in size. Since we still co-own her, it is planned for her to come back to Calypso for a litter after finishing her championship in 2005. In Xi, we got Tux's trademark duplication of his dam, ECLIPSE, with the square, Standard-sized body and classic wedge head, and sweet-sweet temperament. Xi has a mischievous quality all her own, however. We look forward to her carrying on for both her parents in our breeding plans for the near future. In the spring of 2004, Annie was adopted by Calypso owner Dawn Fritts of Covington, VA, joining Calypso Weekend Warrior ("Gunny") in this home with an unusual 'claim to fame': Dawn is one of the few female Rail Road Engineers AND Conductors in the USA. She works for CSX out of the Covington yard, and ever since she joined the Calypso family we have been priviliged to become privy to Dawn's railroading stories. Gunny would like everyone to know that he is the better looking litter brother to the family's famous Agility titlist, "Cody", and a card-carrying member of the Anti-Furrball (cats) Society. He has been somewhat disappointed that Annie has shown no negative reaction to Dawn's cats, and is even making friends with the one cat that fancies itself a dog!  As Gunny is a prolific (!) correspondent, I know I will continue to hear more about this state of affairs, but it sure seems that Annie has found herself a wonderful and interesting home in which to retire!
