ACCOLADES ROM and MORE CHAMPIONS:
VALHALLA'S HEART O' GOLD "Stella"
THE FIRST AKC CH. IN BREED HISTORY AND AN ROM ON FIRST RECOGNITION
"Stella" is a great place to start the story of Valhalla. Stella was owned by Penny Kelley of Sandusky OH. She showed this girl to her championship shortly after the breed was excepted into AKC in 2010. But more importantly, she bred her. Stella became one of the earliest top producing bitches in our breed. Because of this, she is found behind many of the US dogs today. Stella was no accident. She is the product of my founding imports Kersin's Midas touch of Iceland and Skin-Deep's Katina of Norway. These two found a niche and produced two more chanmpions in the breed. Midas went on to become a founding sire who produced several additional champions. We lost Stella in the summer of 2025 but not before her legacy was recognized. In 2024, on our clubs first recognition of stellar contributors to the breed, Stella earned her Registery of Merit. Stella qualified for it the hard way through large, healthy litters, by placing those pups in competition/breeding homes and by sourcing different males whose attributes strengthened our gene pool. She left her legacy in the puppies who continue to carry her pedigree forward today.
ROM Tuulenpuuskan Oskmenjadottir
"Nikki" was the founder of my kennel. A Finnish import of small stature and lively bearing, she had fantastic angles at a time when the breed was in serious need of them. I am now four generations into her bloodline and she has never failed to impress. Like Stella, she is found on many pedigrees today. She lived to be just shy of 17.
