Vanna got a late start on serious showing, as she took more than half a year off to mend a badly broken hind leg. She won the Bred By Exhibitor class at the 1992 National Specialty, and won all of her points from that class.

​

In 1995, she was bred to the Specialty and Best in Show winning Ch. Tamarzi's Lord Oliver Grfalcon and presented us with 12 puppies. Shawn and Tammy (Cook) Smith joined as co-breeders, and we took turns raising each half of this second "Ch" litter.

​

They include:

Ch. Sylvan Chiaroscuro
Finnish Ch. Sylvan Checkmate
Ch. Monarch Chrystal Chandelier - Best in Show winner
Ch. Monarch Chieftain
Ch. Sylvan Chili Pepper 

Ch. Monarch Chantilly Lace

​

Her daughter Ch. Monarch Chrystal Chandelier, thrilled us by becoming an all-breed BEST IN SHOW winner, and was the top-winning bitch, and #2 Borzoi in the country for 1998.

​

Vanna was bred to our Ch. Cordova Mishkova Tundra, and whelped 7 puppies in October of 1997. Two have finished so far, and can be seen as the second "T" litter.
