CH. Cherokee Mardel Sage came into the world April 14, 1992, bred by Cody Sickle, June Sickle, Donald & Adele Trandum. I purchased her from Cody, choosing to have a permanent co-ownership with him. The history of Legend Bulldogs was signed, sealed and delivered in a 10-week-old puppy bitch, which I named “Sage.”  Her sire, BIS, BISS CH. Millcoats Titus, is the top producing Bulldog stud in breed history.  Hall of Fame, Beckett Award, and capturing the National Specialty in 1995, this was Titus. Her dam, Cherokee Falon is in the BCA hall of Fame for producers and the recipient of the Beckett Award.   Sage attained her championship at 12 months of age, with three 5-point majors.  After whelping a litter of six, she went on to capture 33 Best In Specialty Shows. She was B.O.S. at the Bulldog Club of America National Specialty in 1997, putting her in the National Gallery of Winners.  While winning is certainly a sign of greatness, the true mark of a great bitch is in the whelping box. Sage is in the BCA Hall of Fame for producers, capturing the best of both worlds.  The apples sure don’t fall far from this tree, her first litter produced 3 Champion get. Her son, CH. Cherokee Legend Garth is the sire of B.I.S.S. CH. Little Ponds Chief, a Hall of Fame Stud Dog with over 120 Champion get to his credit. Her daughter, B.I.S.S. CH. Cherokee Legend Flower is BCA National Specialty Award of Merit winner, a BCA Hall of Fame Producer, and the recipient of the Beckett Award. She is also the dam of B.I.S.S.CH Cherokee Legend Mousers Bill and B.I.S.S.CH. Cherokee Legend Donna.  This double Sage granddaughter, Donna, has won 46 B.I.S.S., was the #1 Bulldog in the USA in 2001, receiving the Pedigree Award and Best of Breed at Westminster. In 2004 she won B.O.S. at the BCA National Specialty, putting her in the National Gallery of Winners with Sage.  CH. Cherokee Legend Dallas, another Sage daughter, is in the BCA Hall of Fame and is the Grand Dam of CH. Cherokee Legend Pretty Boy. A BCA Hall of Fame Stud Dog.  Another Sage son, CH. Cherokee Legend Crazy Horse, has produced multiple champion get, with many more pointed.  Sage is in her golden years now and celebrated her 14th birthday on April 14 2006. I cherish every day with her and marvel at her good health, her beautiful true jaw, and the amazing movement this bitch possesses.  She has certainly made her mark on this wonderful breed, the Bulldog, she is the Queen.
