The first time I saw a picture of Sting, I was hooked...........now if he could move as well as he appeared:)   Well, he took my breath away the first time I watched him move so effortlessly.   I said to myself, this boy deserves and needs to be campaigned even if for one year.......I need to show his beautiful type and movement to others.   I contacted Bart and Patti Miller and Heather Rogers with my idea.   They were thrilled for the chance to have him out in the specials ring in the USA.   He had already  completed his AKC championship very quickly with a few visits to the Land O' Lakes shows early on.   His first win was a 3 point major and BOB from the 9 - 12 puppy class under Chuck Herendeen.

I hired Frank Murphy in Dec, 2005  to show him as a special.   His first show was Eukanuba in Florida (2006) and he received first AOM  and continued on to the Florida Circuit.   The first 4 months he was Number "1" with no advertising.   Everyone was asking, "Who is that bi-eyed open faced Siberian ...........where did he come from?"   Frank and Sting made a great pair and had a great year.   He retired after Westminster in 2007.   One of our great thrills was when he won a BIS at the age of 9 in Canada.........he loved to go out and strut his stuff!!

He was a very sweet and funny boy to live with.   He loved baby puppies and would let them climb over him at the early age of 5 weeks.  He was so gentle as if he knew they were his legacy.   He put his stamp on his beautiful movement in his babies.   We have been very fortunate in our breedings with Sting and have many very nice children. grandchildren and some great grandchildren following in his pawprints.   Our GCH TRILLIUM BLUE'S RAISING THE BAR...........Jerry who is playing around in the specials ring presently being handled by Charles Coomes is a grandson out of a Sting daughter, GCH Topaz Sugar Bee at Trillium........Sugar.   Also, the current Siberians USA cover dog, GCH Tikinova's Country Club Cowboy........Chisum is a Sting grandson out of a Sting daughter,  Ch Trillium Blue's Rumor Has It........Sadie owned by Pam Price.  

We love you, Sting as you have touched the hearts of many both here and abroad.   We see your funny loving hugs every day in your children and we will never forget you!

Sting was the only male and very vocal from the start. What could we possibly name him? Bart had just bought and restored a 1970 Corvette Sting Ray so that’s where his name came from. I thank our luck stars the day Heather & Cam Rodger of Winnipeg agreed to co-own him and then later on Liz DeMartino co-owned Sting with Heather & Cam when we moved to Mexico. And the rest as they say is history. He is the best male we’ve ever bred and we’re absolutely thrilled at what he produced. I see his picture every day on the stairway in our house here in Mexico along with our three favorite red girls.
