BIG week!

We have had a very exciting week here! 

In the early hours of Friday morning, Solstafir's litter came into the world.  Viking Tindra whelped 5 beautiful pups - 2 girls, and 3 boys.  They were all large, and are thriving, and putting on steady weight.  I do believe most will get Solstfir's rich coloring.  Cheers to Julianna Dolfinger-Price, and the lovely Viking Tindra for doing such a good job with the precious babies.  You may visit the pups, see photo, video, and contact Julianna via Facebook.  The pups page is Solkyssa Icelandics.  https://www.facebook.com/pages/S%C3%B3lkyssa-Icelandics/474193889337663   Puppy application requests can be made to artgecko@me.com

The next day, Saturday, my other two boys went to an AKC show and BOTH boys were awarded AKC Majors!  Fox Meadow Thorra Kari went Best of Breed for a 5 point major - his second towards his Grand Championship, and Solsteinn Keisari at Whitetail was Best of Winners for a 4 point major - his very first major, at just 11 months old! 

Also, last week the new AKC rankings came out, and I now have 2 boys in the top ten Icies.  Solstafir still holds the #5 ranking, and Vetur has moved up into the #8 position!

GOOD stuff!!!
