2X Sel CH Kridler's Quno v. Rowley OFA Exc

February 27, 1996 - 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 Am/Can Sel 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 National Winners Dog 2X Sel CH Kridler's Quno v. Rowley OFA Exc

Quno was Winner's Dog at the 1997 German Shepherd Dog Club of America National Specialty 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 earned Select #13 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 large breed rings. With his 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. 

Quno's Progeny:

2003 Am/Can GVX 2002 Sel 2 CH Kridler's Ruby v. Highland Acres OFA Our Beautiful "Ruby" is co-owned and loved by Joe and Leslie Beccia of Signature German Shepherds. Her dam is our Highland Acres Angie. Ruby's whirlwind career has now taken her to being a mother of several top show progeny.
