ALL dogs hips are tested and certified with PennHip or OFA
Please SCROLL DOWN for lots of pictures of "my girls" they mean the world to me and I try to capture their personalities more then taking poised shots.
Solo Standards Lone Star Della
"Della"
Della is my black and silver phantom, her phantom markings are silver brindle. Della is large with good bone structure. I absolutely love the phantoms and brindles and to see one in person is so much better then the pictures show.
Della's size is no accident as her linage has many large dogs in it. If bred correctly the large or "Royals" as some people call them, are beautiful and majestic dogs. It's all what one desires. They can keep their Poodle qualities of grace and athleticism, just because they are large do not think they are not Poodles. Della is very graceful and athletic!
Della is definitely my girl, she is with me always. I have obedience trained her , and she shows me how smart she is! She is a true joy to me and a sight to behold. We have a unbreakable bond and I love her so much. Her loyalty to me is unchallengeable. I can take her anywhere and be confident she will stay with me and behave like a wonderful dog. I will have a few litters out of her and keep some daughters... then she will have a life at my side.
Solo Standards MonaLisa
"Mona"
Mona is a beautiful black & white Parti with brindle on her face. She's very striking with great presence.
Mona is highly intelligent, and I do mean HIGHLY! She can outsmart a thinking person! You can just see it in her pretty brown eyes!! She is also very athletic and has a great top line and movement. Really fun to watch run and play and she can out maneuver everyone in tag! She would be great at agility.
Mona is gentle , sweet , sensitive and polite to the max. She is very calm until we go on our walks....then she opens it up and outruns and maneuvers them all! Just totally enjoys herself. She loves to flush birds out of the prairie grass, she is a good retriever too . That natural hunting instinct is strong in this dog! When we get home she's back to her sweet , calm, little girl demurer...so fun.
Mona's color has stayed dark & pretty...left and 2 pics below just taken Nov 2009 at 2 1/2 yrs old .
Solo's Moonlight on Matilda
"Tilly"
Tilly is our Keeper out of Maverick and Della's Nov. 2007 litter. She is a black and silver phantom, with such a calm and happy personality with just enough mischief to make her fun! Very smart too. She is my pride and joy and I am enjoying her so much. Tilly has grown into herself and shows grace and beauty. She is built and moves like her sire, Maverick, a very regal dog. Tilly has become my shadow dog just like her mom Della. I do love a loyal dog... they return friendship 10 fold!
Tilly's Hip evaluation is excellent, it is in the top 90% for the breed and she has a .35 on each hip...that is outstanding and is with PennHip, the toughest and most honest hip evaluation for breeders! This is the same score as her sire, Maverick had and it is VERY hard to get a dog with this tight of hip score...I'm so pleased.

Confetti's Black as Sin
"Tula"
Date of Birth, Sept. 2005
OFA-excellent, CERF normal, Thyroid normal, Heart cardiograph-good
27 inches tall and 62 lbs
Tula is a black & silver phantom, very square, deep chested, dreamy brown eyes, thick easy to care for coat, and she loves everyone. She's a fabulous dog, very, very calm, intelligent and affectionate. She fits right in here with such a easy going and loyal nature, I am so pleased with EVERYTHING about her. She is health tested and a proven producer of great pups with her same temperament and large size.
I have kept 2 puppies out of Tula from a outside breeding to a wonderful red stud dog who carries the phantom gene (his hips, eyes, thyroid are tested too!) They are Mabel and Iris who were born June 2009. These daughters will add some good diversity in my phantom bloodlines. But MOST importantly they are healthy, happy, smart, beautiful pups! You can watch them grow the first year on their page...next generation.
Tula's sire is a 90-100 lb phantom... so she produces healthy, large pups! Tula and my Della are half sisters with the same sire...and it shows in many ways! I love them both.
Above in a little fuller coat, and below in a fresh haircut....I like my dogs to look good in their everyday haircuts that are both practical and cool for summer! Good chance to see "real" conformation.
Either way Tilly is beautiful.
