Aruma was one of the best dogs we ever owned; not in looks, not in
temperament, not in movement, but in genetics she was an own daughter of Elmo
Entrefolhas. We feel the puppies she produced were the basis of our
conformation, temperament and movement in our dogs, who now win all over the
world. Recently, we acquired another Entrefolhas female. Thanks to Dr. Soares
and Professor Procoppio do Valle combining to breed her, and allowing us to
import her.

We were fortunate to have a brief opportunity to use Beau in our breeding
program. The original intent was to lease Beau and return him to Maggie Bobb,
his owner in Puerto Rico, after we had used him for breeding in 1991-1992. We
felt honored to have this famous dog entrusted to us. After seeing how happy he
was on our farm, Maggie cried and told me to keep Beau and let him
enjoy the freedom he had here. We subsequently retired him to a home in the
south with a warmer climate. We got only one litter from Beau and we kept two of
his puppies, Duke, Lion Hearts Desfeita, and
Dereza, Lion Hearts
Dereza Eshabeta II. Duke and Deraza went on to produce numerous top quality "hard
temperament" puppies. To this day other kennels have their descendants
advertise Das Leoas blood. Four generations removed is considered an outcross
due to the dilution of the genes involved in Das Leoas. The crossing of this
line should be done carefully or the results can be dog aggression, child
aggression, and hard to train dogs with more than typical prey drive.

I got some very fancy puppies from Flora. I really regret that we did not
show her. She was beautiful, had great movement, and had a very sound, strong
and stable temperament. I retired her in 1995 to a family farm nearby, Jazz’s
sister. Another excellent Khalany daughter.

Dozer is a fine brindle male, we used him when he was made available to us,
but most of his life he lived at a distance that was inconvenient. We were
always sorry we did not keep him. He went to live with Roseanna Folck of
Gatekeeper Filas where he enjoyed excellent care and lots of love from her young
children and enjoyed living indoors.
