The Girls

Ch. Elante Grace Under Fire - "Abigail"

Abigail is shown above winning her first major at six months, 2 days of age.  She finished at 14 months, and received an Award of Merit at the Chicago Specialty at the age of 18 months.  Following in her father's footsteps, Abigail was in the Top Ten (breed system) during 1999.

Abigail is an Oliver daughter and is DNA'd 1:1.  She is now retired from motherhood having had her second, and last, litter sired by Ch. Kel-Ti's Scotty Too Hotty in October, 2005.

This litter resulted in two females and a male. Ch. Elante Triple Play, finished her championship with wins including WB at the 2006 BTCA Floating National Specialty in Chicago, from the 6-9 month puppy class, and WB the day after the National Specialty in Louisville in 2007.  She finished in six weekends of shows.

Her littermate, Ch. Elante Grand Slam finished with back-to-back 4 point majors, also going BOS in Sweepstakes at the BTCA National Specialty in 2007.

Abigail's first litter was sired by Ch. De Hayyim's Drakkar of Sudor.  Four of those puppies were shown and finished, including group winning Ch. Elante Encore Performance.

Ch. Elante Evening Star - "Evie"

Evie finished her championship easily, with group placements from the classes.  Her first weekend as a special, she won back-to-back Group 1's.  She then went on to obtain her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification

Two puppies from her second litter (x Ch. Elante Evening Attire), were shown to their championships, and three from her third and final litter made their ring debut in August 2007.  All three have finished their championships.  "Echo" finished at the age of 10 months, with multiple majors, including several BOB's over specials.  The male, Ram, has won BOB's from the classes and was Best in Sweepstakes at the BTCA Floating National in August 2007.  The third, "Taffy", finished with back-to-back 4 point majors.   

Ch. Elante Evening News - 'Tori"

Tori started off her specials career with a bang.  Her second weekend out as a special, she won a Group 2.  Since then, she has numerous group placements, along with being the third group winner owned/bred and handled by Elante. 

Tori has incredible movement, and a look-at-me attitude that never fails to attract attention.  She was awarded an AOM at the Louisville cluster the day after the BTCA National Specialty in 2007.

She was retired from the show ring at the end of 2007, so that she could concentrate on becoming a mom.  She was bred to Ch. Bonnybrook's All About Me in the summer of 2008, and produced one puppy; Elante One For the Money, "Freddie".  Freddie currently has fourteen points, all majors, winning one of his 4-point majors the day after the floating National Specialty in Omaha.
