"Turki" was a magnificent, handsome and regal example of what we always look for in a male.  Owned and shown by Elizabeth Tokach, he caught my eye immediately when I first saw him at the Seattle Kennel Club show in the mid-80's.  Having bred my first litter of a Cheerio line breeding, I needed to go out with my lovely girl from that breeding, MerriMac Ballroom Dancer or Blossom as we called her.  Turki was the answer. He had the substance and was put together to perform.  With the beautiful balance and movement along with the substance I needed in both, the combination was successful.  The offspring of this breeding were both fabulous movers and of great form and substance.  I couldn't have asked for more.  Following this breeding I continued to breed to his sons with great results.  I'm grateful to Liz and her boys.
