These are the founders of the Double Star Line. Pictured above are Cinnamon (right)
and Smores (left). They, along with Coco of the Patriarch line, joined Double Star to
help ease Chocolate's loneliness after losing Hershey. I had this pair on my desk while
I was trying to chose a kennel name. I looked down an saw the two "stars" staring back
at me and realized that Double Star was a good name for the kennel. Cinn & Smores
had 8 litters together (before they were retired).
2nd Generation
Included in those 35 pups, was Princess Golden Heart (she is the Pied Argente
Golden and is pictured with her Daughters (Blaze, Spark, and Flame)). Heart and her
mate Diamond only had one litter together :( But that gave us the ability to continue
the line.
The other 2 pups in Heart's and Diamonds litter were Thunder (Black) and Lightning
(Agouti). Thunder was the 1st to be bred (to Midnight Twinkle) and they had 2 litters
together. However, when Thunder was just 1 1/2 he had a sudden heart attack. His
death left us stunned and left the future of the line in doubt. Around Christmas 2004,
We found Silver Belle (a Dove) and matched her up to Lightning to strengthen the line.
That union produced 2 wonderful, award winning girls. Survivor (Left) and Jaycee
(right). We waited until after the MW Show (where Survivor took 2nd in her class and
Jaycee 3rd in her class) before splitting them off with their mates. You can see
updates on them and the upcoming 5th Generation in the Gerbil Breeding Pairs Page.
