OTTO - Imperial Storm Shadow du pays de l'Aurore Boréale TabanyaRuu (Lecibsin Monttu x Fidelis Kauniskarva) was mated to the beautiful KAIJA (Fin Ch Cantavia Leijonamieli x T. Peppi).

Otto is our fabulous French Import of Finnish lines, is prcd-PRA Clear, Pompes Clear & has a hip score of 7.

Otto and Kaija are both stunning dogs with sweet natures and I was very excited about this paring. Kaija is from my 2009 litter when I flew her dam Peppi to Finland to be mated to the handsome Jeppe (pictured above). Kaija is also prcd-PRA Clear, Pompes Clear & has a hip score of 8.
As both Otto and Kaija exhibit 'Irish Spotting' but to a lesser extent than Jeppe, I knew that Kaija could produce puppies bearing it. Two of Kaija's siblings have white patches on their necks and both Kaija and Otto have white 'splodges' on their noses (these fade over time and become almost unnoticeable). Otto has been DNA tested by Genoscoper so I also knew that the puppies would be black as Otto doesn't carry brown or cream (this is going to be useful as I make no secret of the fact that black tan and white is my all time favourite colour combo!).
On July 2nd without any fanfare whatsoever, Kaija presented me with two striking boys of excellent weights.
I wanted this litter name to begin with M, so when two 'Border Collies' were born I decided that this litter should be the 'Maverick Litter' - two fabulous unconventional boys and a homage to the gorgeous Fin Ch Fihtolas Maverick (pictured below). If Panda turns out like him or his Grandad Jeppe, I shall be delighted! Kaija is a fantastic Mum and keeps her boys absolutely spotless.
