CH Shoebutton's Pegeen Ryan 
(CH Red Bully De Vom Rittersee x Pennyroyal's Auntie Mame) 
was born at Shoebutton 6 years ago. She has also been trained to intermediate Agility and is the proud Mom of CH Shoebutton's Dub Taylor, Shoebutton's Miss Lela Bliss, Shoebutton's Pipa Scott and Shoebutton's Debonaire Rosiland Russell. Genie now lives happily with Wendy Opel, Shoebutton's Emmett Kelly and Cassie (Westie).

Genie's littermate brother, CH Shoebutton's Osbert Unger would have finished in BBE except for a point he got as a puppy from the 6-9mo Puppy class! Live and learn, they say. This beautiful boy lives with Greg Harris, James Baldwin and Gertie, his beloved Norwich companion. Ossie finished before he was 12 months old with all majors and his puppy point!

Forest's Sister, CH Shoebutton's Peggy Cass acquired her Championship in 2007 under the expert handling of her owner, Carol Clark. The pair live in Lima, Ohio and travel the country showing in their motor home. Carol's CH Pine Lakes Mega Bucks won top honors in the country under her excellent grooming and handling. Cassie is lucky to have him as her step brother! She is now training in Agility for her titles in AKC and Tea Cup.
Although littermates, Coral Brown and Willard Waterman will never be Show Champions, they are lucky to be 'Champions of the Heart' with owners Cheryl Warfield (Coral/ Loretta) and Lisa Walker (Willy/Teddy).
