Kridler's German Shepherds - Boys

	January 29, 2009 Today, my husband, son and I had to say goodbye to our once-in-a-lifetime Great Dog, Quno. He was less than one month shy of his 13th birthday. He was an exceptional dog, going WD at the 1997 National - the total underdog with an unknown handler - twice Select, and then produced 2003 US and Can GVx Ruby ROM, and her sisters, BIS Am/Can CH Tanzanite (mother of Nutmeg), Kridler's I've Got A Secret (dam of Sel Exc Cooper), as well as several other winning progeny. He was our protector and our comic. Goodbye my sweet boy. Now you and your sister, Que Sera Sera can enjoy all the fun you once had again.

1997 US Nationals Winner's Dog 2 x Select Champion Kridler's Quno v. Rowley, OFA Exc

Quno was Winner's Dog at the 1997 German Shepherd Dog Club of America National Show under Judge Barbara Amidon, and also won the coveted title of Select #8 under Judge David Rinke. In 1998, he was shown at the GSDCA National and won Select #13 title under Judge Ed Barritt.

Quno is a large, masculine dog that exemplifies the standard of the German Shepherd. His movement is breathtaking as he rises to the top in extra large breed rings. With his outstanding desire to please, he has the temperament of a true German Shepherd Dog.

We are thrilled with his breeding abilities, and he is dominant in reproducing himself in type and movement. He does not carry the long coat or blue gene. He stands at stud at Kridler's German Shepherds in North Lima, Ohio, 50 minutes from Pittsburgh Airport. Quno is OFA Excellent Hips, and we prefer to only breed him to hip x-rayed Females. He is a very easy breeder and we guarantee 3 live pups at birth.

Our Beautiful "Ruby" is Co-Owned and Loved with Joe and Leslie Beccia of Signature German Shepherds of Medina, Ohio. Her dam is our Highland Acres Angie. Ruby's whirlwind career has now taken her to being a mother of several top show progeny.

"Monty", is bred by Paula Cianciolo and is Quno's first Champion. He is currently in residence with Mike Funk in Wisconsin.

Bred By Janice Armstrong this special breeding between Quno and Ch. Sanhedrin's Bewitched, OFA, ROMC, has produced 7 Champions.

Spectacular movement on a Totally Loose Lead. Not many can move like this guy. He is so fluid and easy.

We are thrilled that he is also producing beautifully as well.
