Simon is the Sarah and Rio son we had hoped would come along prior to Sarah retiring from our breed program. I think he poccesses the best qualities of both Sarah and Rio and I am so proud of how he has matured. He's kind, respectful and shows the good sense his mother gave him! Simon has a hip rating of EXCELLANT, not an easy rating to come by and is free of the genetic faults of HC (hereditary cataracts), MDR1,CEA,PRA-PRCD,and DM. Simon is also red factored. I hope you agree, all in all, the wait was well worth it!
