AKC CH Denstail Dita Fon Diz – “Sasha”

Proven AKC Champion Dam with Exceptional Litters

Sasha is a breathtaking AKC Champion Yorkshire Terrier imported from Russia, known for her gorgeous steel blue and tan coat, correct structure, and elegant presence. She earned her AKC Championship title quickly and with style, finishing by the time she was just two years old. As my very first champion, she holds a special place in our program. I personally handled her for most of her points, with a professional handler stepping in for her two major wins.

Proven in the whelping box as well as the show ring, Sasha averages about five puppies per litter — a rare blessing in the Yorkshire Terrier breed. This means families are often lucky enough to secure a spot on her puppy list. Even so, her puppies are in high demand, so early inquiries are encouraged.

Sasha is EMBARK genetically tested clear and has OFA Eyes certification from a board-certified ophthalmologist, ensuring the health and quality of her offspring. Her pedigree is packed with European Champions and Grand Champions, passing down not only beauty but also strong breed type and structure.

Her puppies are known for their lovely temperaments and show potential — especially when paired with Charlie. One of her daughters is in a trusted friend’s show home, and we look forward to the possibility of her becoming a champion one day. We also kept one of her sons, Toby, as a cherished pet because we simply couldn’t part with him. At just 3.4 lbs, Toby is irresistibly adorable and a daily reminder of Sasha’s ability to produce exceptional Yorkies.

  • Sasha has 1–2 litters left before retiring in 2026. While there is no official date yet, her retirement timing will depend on her heat cycles and whether she has one or two more litters. We plan to keep one or two of her offspring before she enjoys a well-deserved retirement.

AKC CH Essence Of Grace Abbey Blazin’ Down The Road (Abbey)

Abbey is our first “bred-by” AKC Champion, making her a milestone in our program and a source of immense pride. The daughter of our beloved foundation dam Ellie, Abbey’s sire is an AKC Champion from an all-American lineage stacked with U.S. champions.

True to her terrier spirit, Abbey was a bit stubborn in the ring, so she spent 8 months with her professional handler before earning her AKC Champion title at 2.5 years old. Watching her complete her championship was a huge moment for us as breeders.

  • Weight: 6.5 lbs

  • Coat: Rich gold and blue, holding strong color and silky texture into maturity

  • Health Testing: EMBARK DNA tested clear, OFA Eyes certified, OFA Patellas certified

  • Breeding Record: Proven dam producing standard-size puppies with balanced structure, excellent movement, and affectionate temperaments

Abbey is deeply attached to her people — she loves to be part of everything and doesn’t like to miss out. She has more of the classic terrier look, with a confident, watchful expression and an alert, ready-to-go personality. Her puppies inherit her loyal, people-focused nature and are well-suited for active companion homes or performance sports.
