Kyrie Shetland Sheepdogs is me- Tracy Grathwohl of Riverside Iowa.  And my good friends and fellow breeders I refer to as the Sheltie Sistahood.   Allison Gilbert www.argosshelties.com and Bev Klassen www.attridgeshelties.com and Debbie Walker Lochleven Shelties, are not only my sistas, they are co-breeder of all of my current dogs. 

The Kyrie breeding program is the story of two stud dogs and the tale of five pairs of sisters.  Our foundation is Ch Wynruf's Sparklin' Blu Water, a Ch. MacDega Maserati son out of a Piano Man daughter.  'Seth' was the sire of the love of my dog life Ch Chaminade Take My Breath Away.  'Breeze's' breeder called me the day she was born and I bought her right then over the phone.  'Breeze' is the dam of the first pair of sisters: Kyrie In A Minds Eye 'Mindy" and Kyrie Skyward Taylor Made.  Both sisters had one exceptional litter each.  'Taylor' was bred to Ch Odyssey Games of The Heart.  This breeding produced the second pair of sisters: Kyrie Foolish Games 'Jewel" and Kyrie The Games We Play "Tammy'.  I tried to put 'Tammy' in a pet home, fortunately someone smarter than me took her and today she is the grandmother of Ch. Belmark Bi The Book "Val".  "Jewel' produced Kyrie Attridge No Doubt and other exceptional puppies.   'Mindy' was bred to Ch Ashwood Believe It Or Not this breeding produced the third set of sisters: Ch. Kyrie Believe 'Cher' and Kyrie Goo Goo Doll 'Iris'.  'Cher' is one of those inspirational dogs, but unfortunately not destined to be the influential dog, her only daughter BISS Kyrie Make Believe'Hunter' only produced one daughter that carries on, but in Germany!  'Cher's' sister 'Iris' never saw the show ring, but she has been an influential producer.  Her fist litter had four pointed kids including Lochleven Angel Light 'Raya', 'Iris' second litter included Ch Lochleven War Admiral and Kyrie Evanesance- dam of North Korean national winner- and Kyrie Dream Catcher ptd. 'Kyle' pops up as sire of Argos Tuscan Moon, and supreme producer Argos What Comes Around.  'Kyle's' sire side comes from my second stud dog: Ch Kyrie Chasing History 'Sosa' the sire of Ch Kandisweet War Paint 'Corey'.  'Sosa' also is the sire of the forth of my pairs of sisters: Kyrie Blue Heaven Hope 'Hope' and Kyrie Drops of Jupiter 'Mia'  'Sosa' also sired the dam of the fifth pair of sisters- Kyrie Argos Print in History 'Paris'.  'Mia' is the grandmother of superstar producer Ch Belmark Lo N Behold 'Bode'.  'Hope' is the dam of our current bed buddy Kyrie Argos Precocious 'Patty'.  'Patty' has her own page and her daughter 'Izzy' is under the hopefuls link.  'Bode' is the sire of 'Boca' a stunning bi-black girl and current show dog.  'Boca's' son 'Edward' is also listed under the hopefuls page.  Sister 'Cami' is in New Jersey as a show prospect.  'Raya' is the dam of my other prospect growing up here- 'Saki'.  'Paris' was bred to 'Val' and produced Ch. Argos Dream Collide and new sister Argos Kyrie Marked.  Last, but definately not least is 'Kiva', she comes to me from a litter leased from Allison Gilbert. 'Kiva's' dam is Argos Blue Nile, out of Argos What Comes Around.  Karma indeed.
