Oxota Avalon Switchblade

Pedigree ~ OFA Cardiac Normal ~ CERF Normal ~ DM Clear by Parentage

DOB: 5/20/11

Blade is from our 2011 “deadly weapons” litter and is exactly what we had hoped for with this breeding: substance, angles, balance, confidence, friendly and outgoing, with insane prey drive. We have high hopes for this little girl in a variety of venues in the coming years!

Please pardon the low quality of the movement photo - old camera and losing daylight!

Blade at 8 weeks of age:

She already has that “git it no matter what” thing figured out:

Future Plans

Blade will spend 2011 growing out with her litter-mate Bruno and buddy Hawk. She is perfectly square, has a tiny back, long loin, beautiful angles, an absurdly long tail, attitude galore, and suicidal prey drive. Click to see Blade’s pedigree. She is CERF Normal, OFA Cardiac Normal, and DM Clear by parentage.
