CH Epiphany's Next Big Thing This is a page with information and pictures of a puppy that was one of our male picks from our litter of thirteen puppies that was born on May 17, 2007. His name is Epiphany's Next Big Thing "Matthew". He is from a breeding we did between CH Night Stalker Prairie Buffalo Geronimo "Geronimo" and our girl Woodmark Epiphany World Shaker "Edie". He is starting to resemble his grand-father Diesel (our boy CH Diesel of Safe Haven) in many ways as he matures, and we hope that when he finishes maturing that he looks exactly like him! He has a wide muzzle, thick legs, great length of body, huge bone, a deep wide chest, nice angles, a level top line, wide rear and he when he moves like looks like his grand-father! Matthew is following in his brother Marshall's footsteps in the show ring! He is a UKC Champion and he did very well when we showed him his first time at seven months at an AKC show on December 15, 2007 at the VA Beach show!! He got Reserve Winners Dog over adult males at SEVEN months!! His name is very fitting for him because he IS our Next Big Thing!!!! Matthew received a Group 2 from the Bred By Exhibitor Group at the Chesapeake, Virginia dog show on April 27, 2008 at eleven months with Tracy owner handling!!! He also placed Winners Dog, Best of Winners AND Best Bred By Exhibitor over adult males and got his first points towards his AKC Championship!! Matthew is now a UKC Champion after TWO weekends of showing him at local shows!!!! He enjoys being a show dog very much!!! We are VERY proud of him!!! Now his name will read CH Epiphany's Next Big Thing!!! DOB: 05/17/2007 Click here to see Matthew's pedigree. All Champions in his bloodline are listed in red.
