Hunter’s Goldstrike

Hope

Hope 4 Hunter’s Goldstrike

Born June 3, 2017

From when Hope was a part of our Breeding Program:

“Hope is out of our Amos and Jo Jo's Ember. We sired a litter, and that's how we got her. We may even try some of our frozen Striker semen on one of her litters since all her DNA testing has proven to be cleared. She currently is the only breeding female that is cleared of Ichthyosis. We are trying hard to get this out of our kennel and will continue to do testing on new females that we plan to breed in the future. Hopefully, someday, we will not have any that are carriers.

She has a beautiful coat and is dark red in color! Her head is a nice shape, and her body is nice and slender at this point. She has Excellent hips, which is great, along with other good clearances. She is now in the CHIC program, too, with the four clearances of Eyes, Hips, Heart, and Elbows.

Hope has one of those sweet temperaments! She is a very loving dog and loves people.“
