Satine AKA: "Princess Satine", is a loving girl with all the right moves. She is well built with an impecible front and a solid rear. She has a "princess" attitude, good color & loves to "mouse". She is our 2nd all-breed Best In Match Puppy, going BIm at Dayton Ohio Kennel Club in March of 2002 over more than 350 puppies! Satine completed her American Championship on 4/6/03. For 2003 she is the #3 kees bitch in the country (breed points) and #2 KCA Member-owned bitch. This status was attained mainly at under 2yrs of age with me (Donna) handling!

Starting in July 2004, Satine started being shown by friend, Mike DelSanto. 9/11/04 Satine won BOS at the KCDV Specialty in PA! For 2004, she is #7 Kees Bitch, #10 Kees Show Bitch and #25 overall show kees (both sexes). She was invited to compete at the Natl 2005 in the first ever Top Kees Event! Satine is ranked in 2005 as the #2 Kees Show Girl. 5/29/05 Satine goes BEST OF OPP at KCA National! For 2005, her stats are #2 Kees Bitch, #15 Kees (both sexes). Satine wins BOS at CKC Specialty 4/15/06!! Satine was only out 2 months of 2006 (she was busy having puppies), but still managed to remain in the Top 10 Kees bitches.

2007 started out well... in the month of April: 3 Breed wins, a Group 3, Best of Opp in Specialty (CKC), and a Best in Specialty (BKC) win!

Satine was bred for the first time and produced a lovely litter of pups 08/2006. She was linebred to "Cruiser" Ch. BISS BISw Wund-R Y All Around Town. Two of the pups finished their AKC Championships. FMI on this litter, see the webpage at: http://satine2006.astarz.info

Satine's second and final litter was born 04/21/2008. She was bred to the Frenchman "Volf" Intl Ch. Volfgang D'Arlande. Five of the six puppies completed their AKC Championships. FMI on this litter, see see the webpage at: http://satine2008.astarz.info

Satine completed her Keeshond Club of America Hall of Fame title on 11/13/2008 with Donna, her breeder/owner/handler, getting the final Group placement to achieve the title.

In her retirement, Satine is enjoying life living in western Ohio with my father. She is his constant companion and goes on several walks a day.
