Sire: ANZ.CH Edenmist Rush n Roulette           Dam: NZ.CH Edenmist Cilla Black
He is our young hopeful. I have never bred and kept an Elvis pup before. I'm used to Shadow ones that mature quickly. Rebel to me has been a totally new ball game. He has taken longer to grow up, but I'm enjoying him doing it. He is such a bouncing, full of life fellow, always ready for a game. As he is getting older he is taking shape, and I'm starting to really like what I see.
He moved to Australia with us at 3 months old and fitted in very well. He is now 9 months and been to about 5-6 shows. I have been delighted with his progress so far. He has had 1 challenge, and B.O.B, and two Minor Puppy of Groups. We have had a few problems with his behaviour in the ring at times, but as I mentioned before, I'm used to Shadow types that seem to know what it's all about from an early age. Rebel hasn't yet realized that you should stand nicely on a table; instead he wants to get to know judges, and check them over instead of the other way around. :
Still, as time goes on I'm hoping he will come into line, behave himself, and prove himself in the ring. He has a lot of his father in him and if he can achieve what he did I will be very happy.
