We
have long
admired Carla

dogs in Holland, (and more recently France) having fallen in love with
the photos of her dogs on
her web site.
Our particular favorite was her top producing bitch Ch. Karipat Ziggi Zig In 2002 a dream became a reality when we were able to import one of her beautiful daughters. We call our girl "Ziggy" in honor of her mother Ziggy finished her US championship in 2004, exclusively handled by Mary. Ziggy is the mother of Desiree Acres Razberi Zinger |
