Our next show potential was, Sarkel's Misty Morning. Misty's sire and dam, again were not champions but not because of lack of quality. Misty’s pedigree added to our gene pool with such boxer greats as Aracrest Jered, and Scher-Khoun’s Shadrack. As luck would have it, she was a beautiful bitch who absolutely HATED the show ring! Shown only briefly as a puppy it was obvious that her desire to stay home and raise the kids was her first priority. She did, however, do her best work in the whelping box, producing our first homebred champion. Misty’s first breeding was to Turo’s Budweiser who added more flavors to the pot. Bud was a double Fashion Hint grandson, his sire was Ch. Ringmaster’s Olympian. Budweiser had 11 points and a major and the lack of the CH in front of his name again did not deter me from breeding Misty to a dog who’s pedigree was absolutely designed to produce. This breeding Misty produced Ch. Sarkel's Stairway to Stardom "Samantha". At last we had a champion to prove to the boxer world what the Sarkel ancestors could produce.
I sent Misty to the whelping box for one last time. Once again she did not fail me, producing Ch. Sarkel’s Promise of Cross Bars, CD, CGC and Dam of Merit "Sadie Bird". This time Misty was bred to Cross Bar’s Gabber Dean Hayes, CD who had come to live with us after Sam’s tragic death. Gabby was a Budweiser son and a half brother of our beloved Sammantha. Gabby and Misty were life and soul mates and their influence in the Sarkel dogs today is another I relish with great pride and pleasure.
