Pickwick's Watching the Stars Align (Stella Artois)
Stella's identification color as a puppy was black and she is our pick of the litter. Cobby, short back, amazing structure, gorgeous head (looks just like her father), and brilliant. Her temperament test showed her to be outgoing and full of personality. The evaluator, a dog trainer and breeder of Golden Retrievers for therapy dogs, said both Stewart (Purple Boy) and Stella were amazing and she only marked "not well suited for search and rescue" lol because they were pugs, but that they pretty much would be fit for anything! We'll start out with the conformation ring then head off to whatever direction she seems to love.

George Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître, 1894-1966, a Belgian Catholic priest, mathematician, astronomer, and professor of physics. He proposed the origin of the universe, initially calling it the "hypothesis of the primeval atom.”
The registered names of the puppies for the Lemaître litter are taken from lyrics of songs by the Norwegian techno pop group, Lemaitre. Identification color - black. We are calling her Astria. (Ancient Greek: Ἀστραῖα; "star-maiden" or "starry night"), in ancient Greek religion, Astoria is a daughter of Astraeus and Eos and the goddess of justice, innocence, purity and precision. She is closely associated with the Greek goddess of justice, Dike (daughter of Zeus and Themis).
