SBIS Am/Can/Intnl Ch Rain or Shine at Heart

Owners: Sheryl Bartel and Steven Johnston

Sunny has enchanted us with his wonderful disposition and beautiful conformation since the day he was born.  He finished his championship at only 10 months, finishing with a WD win at the Western Greyhound Specialty at Lompoc and then scared us all by breaking his left front leg in a freak accident at age 11 months.  (Running up open stairs with a plastic flowerpot over his head.)  But the break was clean and healed rapidly.  After that he was shown at only a few shows, staying home while sisters ArrowIraina, Diva and Rosie went to shows. 
Despite limited outings he was group placing, went BOS at the Northern California Specialty in May 2001, and then Best of Breed at the GCA National Specialty October 2001 under breeder judge Rita Bartlett of England.  We couldn't have been more pleased and excited for our "Baby Bunny" who was shown by co-owner Steve Johnston.

BOB 2001 GCA Eastern Specialty

2003 Tulip time fun

In 2003 he sired his first litter - the Helios Sun litter, which has already resulted in three champions and another GCA Specialty winner, Ch Helios Sun King.

Sunny (AKA Bunny) continues to be his "mom's" special velcro dog at home where he is always first in line for all car rides. He is a big hit at the local Farmer's Market carrying his mom's purchases in his doggy pack.
