Mul. BIS & BISS, Am.& Can. Ch. Vykon Jarva's True Colours, ROM
Sire: Nat. BISS Ch. Nomarak's Kenworth, ROM
Dam: Ch. Kiwaliks Nomi of Excalibur, CD, ROM
In January of 1987, Sherman was the first of 7 puppies born from our Mona’s one & only litter. When he was seven weeks old, I stacked him on my grooming table and said to my husband, “this is going to be a Best in Show winner.” Happily that statement came true! That litter, comprised of Sherman, Okie, Houston, Shady, April, Jenna and Ring, achieved 5 AKC Championships, 2 Can. Champions, 3 CD’s, 1 CDX, 1 multiple BIS and multiple BISS winner, and 3 multiple Group placers. Needless to say, it was a litter to remember for generations to come.

When Sherman was young, I sent him to my son Brian who was working for handler C.L Eudy in Texas, in hopes that he could teach Sherman to stop bouncing around the ring and do some nice winning. Brian finished Sherman in a matter of a few weeks and then won his first Specialty a week later. From there it was straight up. Over the course of just two years, Sherman won 100 Group placements (including 27 Group I’s), many Specialties and multiple Bests in Show, Canadian Groups, and 1st AOM at the National. He was #3 Malamute the half year he was shown in 1989, #1 in the all-breed system in 1990, and #3 for the half year shown in 1991. Brian was Sherman’s exclusive handler and the two made quite a striking team. The day they won their first Best in Show, I was so flustered that when the judge asked me if I was the breeder, I blurted out, “Yes… of both of them!”

Sherman produced a total of 17 AKC Champions, 2 Italian Champions, 2 Mexican Champions, Group winners & placers, Grand Sweepstakes winners, and Specialty winners in the US and Europe. His daughter Lucy – Ch. Vykon’s Hallucination, ROM, was a Specialty WB from the puppy class and an important brood bitch for us, producing 10 Champions here at Vykon. His son Ch. Vykon’s Taurus of Totempole was also a Specialty winner and contributed to the beginning of BarVic’s Kennels. Son Chip – Am./Mex. Ch. Vykon’s Blacktop Blowout, and daughter Ch. Shandael’s Allie’s Novel Theme, were both important contributors to Shandael Kennels and still figure prominently in the pedigrees of current Shandael dogs. Two littermates, It. Ch. Vykon’s Wind Beneath My Wings and It. Ch. Vykon’s Ga. Peach Del Biagio, went to Italy as babies in 1991 and became part of the foundation for Giuseppe Biagiotti’s highly successful Del Biagio Kennels.
Sherman lived as Brian’s housedog for many years, but spent his senior years here with us and is buried in our animal cemetery next to his mother, his uncle Indy, and generations of Vykon dogs. Every dog at Vykon has Sherman at least once in his or her pedigree and we continue to be grateful for his invaluable contribution to our breeding program.
