CH Gingerbred Celestial Thunder - "Zeus"

The year is flying by for our young charge Zeus! He and Ellen Cottingham are tearing up the show circuit all over the West. He was the #1 Labrador up until recently but he and Ellen are taking the fight into the ring and are planning to regain the coveted spot! In the meantime Zeus has become a dad - twice! Zeus now has 19 puppies on the ground. Check out their pictures here.
