December 17, 1990 - 2 red/white and 1 tri male & 1 each tri with brindle points, brindle/white and red/white females - Breeder: Wilma Bauer - HM333773

Offspring. Males: Avongara Bikoro at Breka (R/W 04), Avongara Kulu Star of Wilmer (R/W 02), Avongara Ramsey of Wilmer (Tri 05) - Females: Avongara Mwanzoni (Br/W 01), Avongara Angel of Wilmer (R/W 03), Star's Tri of Wilmer (tri 06). Three from this litter did not live long due to accidents. The pups in this litter were very aloof with strangers and not easily handled by strangers unlike their mother who never meets a 'stranger.' Bikoro, Kulu Star and Mwanzoni were breed from.

December 18, 1990 - 1 brindle male and 1 red and white male and 1 red and white female - Breeders: Andie Paysinger and Carol Webb - HM330949

Offspring. Male: Am. Ch. Pendragon Kazor Shadowplay (Br/W 01 OFA-Hips: Good) and Pendragon Kazor Sunrunner (R/W 03) - Female: Pendragon Kazor Moonsinger (R/W 02). This litter grew differently then we are used to. They got size quickly and we were sure they would be way too big but they stopped growing in time. Player has a wonderful temperament as does Singer. Sunny was shy with strangers. Neither Sunny or Singer were bred from. Sunny died of cancer. Ch. Pendragon Kazor Shadowplay was the first brindle half-African champion. He is a bit straight in the rear but moves out really well, uses everything he has and this is what won him his championship. He is OFA good and his eyes were good in 1990 when they were examined.

December 2, 1992 - 3 males and 3 females - red and brindle with white - Breeders: Sally Wuornos - HM445780

Offspring. Males: Sonbar's Hylyobvious Barcode (Br/W 02), Sonbar's Hylyvisable Barcode (Br/W 01) and Sonbra's Brite Howler (R/W 06) - Females: Sonbar's Helsinki Barcode (Br/W 03), Sonbar's Brite Heidi (R/W 04) and Sonbar's Brite Hieroglyph (R/W 05). One of the red females had had darker red areas on the checks so I thought she might be a mahogany tri but she turned into a red and white by eight weeks. One brindle female went to Finland with her family. One of the red females developed a copper toxicity problem and nearly died (Sonbar's Brite Hieroglyph died April 1999 of complications from this disease). Hylyobivious and Hylyvisable are nearby. Visi is a real leggy and sparsely brindled. Visie is more compact with more brindling. We did not breed from them because we didn't like their fronts.

November 28, 1994 - 1 brindle male, 2 red males and 2 red females all with fairly plain markings Breeder: Susan Coe - HM550897

Offspring. Males: Akuaba's No Looking Back (R/W 04), Akuaba's No Holds Barred (Br/W 05), Akuaba's No Stopping Now (R/W 01) and Akuaba's No Frills (R/W 03). Female: Akuaba's No No Nanette (R/W 02). Two of the pups were nice except that the only brindle had very little brindling. The others, while they moved very well, had unattractive heads with poor nose pigment. One of the red males had problems with allergies and reactions to vaccinations. No further breeding was done with this litter. Health info on No Holds Barred per owner: 2003 - diagnosed with immune mediated nodular granulomatous episclerokeratitis (NGE). In 2006 bloodwork showed kidney and/or liver issues. In 2008 - early renal failure was diagnosed.

November 30, 1995 - 1 brindle male, 1 red male, 2 red females, 2 brindle females all with reasonable markings - Breeder: Susan Coe - HM609320

Offspring. Males: Akuaba's Otto Lilyiron (Br/W 06 OFA-Hips: Good)and Akuaba Lily's Shadow (R/W 05). Females: Am. Ch. Akuaba's Day Lily (R/W 02 OFA-Hips: Excellent), Am. Ch. Akuaba's Tiger Lily (Br/W 01 OFA-Hips: Excellant), Akuaba's Rainbow Lily (Br/W 04 OFA-Hips: Excellent) and Akuaba's Lily of the Nile (R/W 03). All were nice puppies except the one red male who was not up to par with a poor tail and lesser head. Movement was very good in this litter, toplines were nice and heads were generally good although the ears are quite mobile. We noticed that Tiger Lily and Otto had a great deal of bone when they were babies, we feared huge adults but they began to slow down between 8 and 10 weeks. Day Lily, Tiger Lily, Rainbow Lily and Otto were bred from and produced well. Otto was reluctant stud and produced just one litter.

Mpenzi is longer and less outgoing. Zindiko, Mpenzi and Chaza have been bred from.
