Am. Ch. Furlongs Saskia – “Eule” 

‘Eule’ is German and means ‘owl’ – and that’s what her face looked like when she was a puppy. Tall and leggy with impeccable, sound movement, she was our foundation bitch after a fresh start in the breed. Eule was the unchallenged “Queen of the Castle” as everyone who came after her was essentially raised under her paws. She never met a stranger, loved children, and was excited wherever we took her, including All Breed Shows and Specialties. She finished her championship easily, winning her first 5-point major at 18 months of age over several Specials. 

Since August of 2023, Eule has been spoiled by the Byron-family in Ohio where she grew into a huge baseball fan, regularly attending the boys’ practices and games, and where she lives the good life as a retired show champion with a couple of cats for company (if needed). The decision to part with her was a difficult one but as Eule grew older, we realized she may enjoy her own human family more than hanging out with canine friends. The pictures we receive on a regular basis are proof that we made the right decision for her.
