Armani (aka Moo) is the heart and soul of Batorok, our beloved matriarch, and the dog who started it all. With her calm, steady nature and unshakable temperament, Armani has been the foundation of our breeding program, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She arrived in 2016 during a transformative time for Kirstie and immediately made herself the queen of the household. Now at 8 years old, Armani is happily retired, dedicating her days to her favorite activities: eating, sleeping, and keeping her two daughters in check!

When Armani first joined the family, Kirstie was recovering from two major surgeries and unable to show her. Stepping in, Jamie Lloyd of Copperkee Labrador Retrievers expertly guided Armani in the show ring. The bond between Jamie and Armani was remarkable, and together, they achieved the majority of Armani's major wins. Armani has since whelped three litters. Her first daughter now works as a therapy dog, offering emotional support to those in need. Her singleton daughters from her next two litters, Celeste and Dusk, remain here at Batorok, continuing her legacy.

We are eternally thankful to John and Sian Hine for trusting us with Armani—the greatest gift we could have ever received. Sian’s mentorship has been invaluable, and we are proud to be part of Team Gamecall.
