Indy 1998

Stormchaser Maverick


Indy came to us from Stormchaser Kennel in England.  He was bred by Lyn and Tamaryn Hodge. Indy came to us in September of 1998 just weeks before I found out I was pregnant with my third child.  Indy and my daughter have grown up together and are best of friends, sharing food and kisses!!!
 I met Tamaryn Hodge through the internet.  She was looking for Manorguard Puppies in the States and Chase’s Sire is Leonbergetz Crusader from Atlantis at Manorguard.  I emailed Tamaryn and that started our friendship.  Lyn Hodge, Tamaryn’s Mother was planning on breeding Purdy and after some discussion with them and careful thought about another puppy, Indy came to live with us.
 
I hope to some day be as WONDERFUL a breeder as the Hodges.  Before Indy was even born, I received copies of the entire health records for both parents as well as pictures of his grandmother, Polly.  I have copies of pedigrees and puppy pictures of Purdy, and his Uncle Kahn. Tamaryn and I emailed continually about Purdy’s health and how she was doing.  Through all this our friendship grow and even if Indy had not come here, we would still be close friends.

Purdy gave birth to the four puppies on June 26, 1998; the litter consisted of two males and two females.  I received almost daily reports on how the puppies were doing and photos arrived weekly through the mail.

After much trouble with airlines, we picked Indy up at JFK in New York on September 4, 1998 he was nine weeks old and 32lbs, we were so excited to finally met him.
 
Indy fit right in with the rest of the gang, both human and canine.  He had a clean bill of health and started his show career at exactly three months of age.  We entered Indy in the ARBA Nutmeg Classic, which was held in nearby Haddam Connecticut.  In the morning show, he received our first First Place in a class of one and second in group, in a class of two!  He repeated this again in the afternoon show.
