"Marcellus' I Am Canadian"
| 15 months |
| 6 weeks |
5 weeks
Diesel - was born on July 1, 2005(hence the registered name of "I Am Canadian"!). All the puppies from
that litter have some kind of reference to Canada in their registered names, because they were born on
Canada Day!
He is a son to Justice & Kahlua. He carries East German, Czech and Belgian working lines. He will weigh in
at about 110lbs when he has fully matured.
He will be trained in obedience and compete after he is 2 years old. I believe they need to grow up to be
"just dogs" for the first year and then start competing after they mature a little. This way you get to see the
"real" dog, not something that was primped and primed.
He now has replaced his father as my main stud dog. He has some big shoes to fill!
The blue spots on his tongue means he carries the all black gene, IE. He can sire all black pups. Breeding
to Isis (who is all black) should produce some very dark, beautiful dogs!

Sept '06 - Now that Diesel is 2 years old, I took him in to get his hips and elbows x-rayed a few days ago.
From the initial look of it, he has excellent rated right elbow, excellent rated left elbow, excellent rated left
hip and good rated right hip. The classifications provided by the Orthopedic Foundations for Animals (OFA)
are Excellent, Good, & Fair, which are all classified as NORMAL. Following that are Borderline, then Mild,
Moderate, & Severe which are classified as Dysplastic.

Oct. 06 - IT'S OFFICIAL! I received confirmation that Diesel has PASSED his hip and elbow clearances!
There's always a little bit of worry that goes with those X-rays! But, as usual, I had nothing to worry about.
He passed with flying colours!! I'm looking forward to continuing the Guardian Angel tradition of good
dogs! He should follow in the footsteps of his Grandmother and Father, and produce some excellent
partners for life!
