Thunder is a very special dog with tons of attitude, beautiful movement and brains to share. This boy is truly a "Do It All Aussie". He has a gorgeous topline, well arched and balanced neck, beautiful head, strong, correct front and rear, and movement that is as fluid as water.
Offspring
Thunder was bred to Bon Chance Eclipse of Fire (10 points ASCA, 2 Majors, AKC pointed) producing 1 RTB, 1 BTD, 3 BMDs & 1 RTB in August, 2000. Out of this litter, 1 puppy was placed in an outstanding home as a companion. The remaining offspring are still at BonChance & Riatta. Rumble (the black tri male) has already been recognized in the conformation ring taking an ASCA BOSP over stiff competition and 2 AKC RWD placements. This cross provided an outcross for us to Starstuff and Manchado to support the working instinct of both dogs. Thunder has shown strong instinct on sheep, has been on cattle in "real-life" situations, and Sunshine brings strong working background to the cross.

Thunder was bred to Skye-Mar's Me-Oh-My "Mimi" (Ch Propwash Manape Ghostrider x Ch Tri-Ivory Georgian Cobalt) in September of 2001. This cross produced 2 BTD with full trim and 1 outstanding RTB with full trim on November 3, 2001. Mimi has produced 1 litter prior to coming to Riatta with multiple pointed offspring, including a daughter who competed at Westminster in February, 2002.
