What the California Pits Females and Hall of Fame Pages Show

Updated

The females page lists the breeder's four named foundation dams — White Lilly, Deja Vu 2, Calie, and Honee — each with a "See More" link, while the Hall of Fame is described as "a collection of dogs from our line over the last 40 years." Both pages serve as a record of the breeding program rather than as sales or availability listings: no prices, health clearances, or pedigree documents appear in the site text, so treat them as a starting point for questions to the breeder, not as verified proof of lineage.

The Females Page: Breeding Dams

The page is headed "Breeding Perfection" and presents four dogs, all with the 'PR' prefix used in UKC registration:

Name Registered Name (as shown)
White Lilly 'PR' Castillo's White Lilly of CA
Deja Vu 2 'PR' Castillo's Deja Vu 2 of Calif
Calie 'PR' Castillo's Calie of California
Honee 'PR' Castillo's Honee of California

Each entry has only a "See More" link — the homepage excerpt does not include the detail behind those links. What the page establishes is that these four are the dams the program currently presents as its breeding females, consistent with the site's claim of "consistency" and a "distinctive look and style."

What it does not tell you

  • No birth dates, titles, or health testing results are listed on the page itself.
  • No litter announcements, waitlists, or prices appear.
  • The 'PR' prefix indicates UKC Purple Ribbon registration in the breeder's naming convention, but the site text does not link to registration records you can check independently.

If you are evaluating a puppy or a stud arrangement, ask the breeder directly for the registered names, UKC numbers, and any health documentation for the specific dam — the page alone will not answer those questions.

The Hall of Fame: 40 Years of Line History

The Hall of Fame is framed as "a collection of dogs from our line over the last 40 years." Its purpose is lineage continuity: it shows the dogs behind the current breeding stock, which the site traces to "Hemphill/Wallace foundation breedings between 'Red Brava' and Purple Ribbon 'Hazard Joe.'"

This matters if you are trying to understand what "Castillo Bloodline" means in practice. The site claims line-bred "Heavy Champion" and "Grand Champion" UKC Purple Ribbon bloodlines, and the Hall of Fame is where that claim is meant to be illustrated — dogs from earlier generations of the same program. As with the females page, the excerpt does not include individual records, so the Hall of Fame functions as a visual and historical overview, not a verifiable stud book.

How to Use These Pages Together

  1. Read the females page to identify the current dams by name.
  2. Cross-reference the Hall of Fame to see whether the names and lines behind those dams appear in the program's history.
  3. Contact the breeder for the specifics the pages omit: registration numbers, titles, health testing, and availability. The site lists [email protected] and (951) 544-4497, with a contact form for name, phone, email, subject, and message.

The males page follows the same pattern and adds a concrete availability signal the females page lacks: Buster Brown, Bleu Boy, El General, and Rocky Road are each marked "AVAILABLE for stud services." If your interest is in breeding rather than a pet, that page is the more actionable one.

What These Pages Are Good For — and Not

They are a useful orientation to a program established in 1982: who the dams are, what the line's stated foundation is, and how the breeder presents 40 years of history. They are not a substitute for paperwork. Before committing to a puppy or a stud service, request the registration certificates and health records for the individual dog, and confirm current terms directly with Tekla Castillo — the site text does not state prices, contracts, or guarantees.
