"Astro" was our first RDO "homebred" AKC Champion out of our foundation bitch Desi's second litter. In addition to turning heads in the US, he also lived in Japan for 5 years, siring multiple JKC champion offspring and bringing great joy to his Japanese "parents". Unfortunately, Astro is no longer with us, but a limited quantity of frozen semen is available to VERY select bitches. Please inquire for specific terms.
