We look to this breeding to produce breed type, movement and personality.  In doing this breeding, the Amethyst line will be solidified but incorporating the unique traits of the British Gordons and some of the old MacAlder/Gordon Hill/Glen Oak.  We expect lovely headpieces, great movement and overall superb temperaments.

Status of this litter:  This litter has been bred and will be due on or about April 29, 2006. 

Reservations and inquiries now being accepted.  Please contact Peggy DaValt by phone at 920.623.4715 or 608.658.3779 or by e-mail to find out more about this litter.

Amethyst Don't Give Up On Me 
(Ch. Hernwood Crystal Snowfall-(UK Import) x Trial by Fire o' Amethyst)

"Kismet" On the Move 

Kismet's registered name is Amethyst Don't Give Up On Me.

He is the son of Ch. Hernwood Crystal Snowfall  (Blizzard) x  Trial by Fire o' Amethyst (Ice).  

Blizzard is Amethyst's UK Import.  In November of 2000, he was imported into the US from breeder friends, Peter Sandiford and Christine Sandiford (Hernwood-UK).  Blizzard quickly earned 5 points from puppy classes and then took a hiatus to grow up.  He came back with a bang earning a 5-point specialty win in Des Moines, IA (2004) going WD and Best of Winners under Canadian judge, Mr. F.P. Onderichsen.  The next day, Blizzard, earned WD/BOW under Mr. Sam Houston McDonald for his second major and on the third day, he earned WD for two more points to finish his championship.  He is living with a wonderful family in Minnesota and is their pride and joy.  He is a well-mannered dog and has good hunting instincts too.

Ice is Amethyst Gordon Setters' resident matriarch.  She has proved very capable in the whelping box.  Out of a frozen semen breeding to Am/Can/Mex Ch. MacAlder Best For Shojin (Chipper) Ice has produced two champions namely, Ch. Amethyst's Stormin' Back 'n Time (Twister) and Ch. Amethyst's Black In Time, JH (Coal).  Both Coal and Twister have done extremely well in the show ring.  Coal was the #14 Gordon for purposes of the AKC/Eukanuba Invitational Tournament (2005-2006) and #16 overall (calendar year).  He earned his JH with Ron Pfeil (Alainn Gordons handling him).  He has incredible drive and instinct as a hunter and that's where his real love is; in the hunt.  Sister Twister has done well as a young girl.  She won Best of Opposite (Sweeps) at the 2003 NODROG Specialty from the 9-12 month class and Reserve Winners Bitch at the 2004 Great Lakes Specialty from Bred-by Exhibitor class.  She placed consistently in large bred-by classes at specialties during her road to her championship.  She finished her championship in September 2004 by winning a 3-point major under Mr. Sam Houston McDonald.  Ice has several other offspring major pointed and pointed.  She is out of Ch. Glen Oaks' Firedance o' Amethyst (Fire) and MacAlder J'Amethyst Royale (Storm).

Kismet

  • Exemplifies the classic Gordon look and movement that we strive for

  • Wonderful personality and all-around good family dog.

  • Kismet is now major-pointed toward his championship title in extremely limited showing.  

Amethyst's Wager o' Ember
(Ch. Shojin's Somewhere in Time  x Amethyst's Firelight o' Life)

Keno head shot while waiting at a dog show.

Keno stacked in the yard.

Keno is a bitch out of Ch. Shojin's Somewhere in Time (Dude) who was one of those dogs that is just a fun-lovin', high-spirited dog.  Keno is her father's daughter.  She is out of Amethyst's Firelight o' Life (Ember) who is a full-sister to Trial by Fire o' Amethyst (Ice) but from a repeat breeding.  

Both girls bring to the whelping box different traits and personalities.  Ember is a very energetic girl and just so easy-going.  She is more brightly marked than her sister Ice.  She currently resides with her nephew, Coal, in St. Louis with Bob Bertram.  

Ember is the mother of two champions, out of Amethyst's Black 'n' Basic Jazz (Basie).  Ch. Amethyst's Jazzy Aidan, JH, CGC, TDI (Aidan) is the sweetest boy and a good hunting dog as well.  He resides with Ron and Gwen Pfeil (Alainn).  Ch. Amethyst's Wager With the Wind (Casey) lives in the frozen tundra of Alaska and belongs to Bob Anderson.  Both boys are typey and very much like their mom.  

Keno

  • Wonderful personality and all-around good family dog

  • Has 10 points including both majors toward her championship.  She will be finished after her maternity leave.

  • Beautiful headpiece, compact, short-backed bitch with movement and drive.
