Ch.Hilane's Solar Eclipse was born May 9, 1991 and died September 11, 2004. Solar was bred and owned by Jerome Cushman and Frederickk Nuernberg. Solar was one of three puppies in the litter. His rather unique color inspired his name. On his neck, shoulders and flanks he had a dark red undercoat with a black overlay of hard coat. Many times he has thrown this characteristic coat color. He was Winners Dog under judge Sari Brewster Tietjen at the national specialty in 1992.His brother Ch.Hilane's Seth Thomas, owned by Carolyn (Garrity) Hamilton, won the national specialty in 1993 under judge Lois Wolf White. His sister Ch.Hilane's Au Naturel was the first all-natural Affenpinscher to earn an AKC championship.At about the age of two-and-a-half, Solar showed signs of stiffness and the veterinarian reported he had been infected with Lyme's disease, which left him with severe arthritis. He was a stoic little dog who enjoyed life with only minor accommodations.Though he was not used a lot for breeding, he has produced some great dogs. His offspring include national specialty winners Ch.Hilane's Harpagon, later owned by Shirley Howard and Jim and Kathy Herman, Ch.Yarrow's Lucy in the Sky (Moraina), owned by Jackie Stacy and Ch.Yarrow's Super Nova (Cosmos), owned by Dr. and Mrs.William Truesdale."Moraina" and "Cosmos" hold the records for most Best in Show wins for their sex in the breed. Cosmos also was the top toy and number-five top-winning all-breed show dog for 2001. Ranked as the number-eight all-time top-winning toy dog, he was the first Affenpinscher to win the Toy Group at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. A brother of Cosmos is multiple group winner and top producer Ch.Yarrow's Over The Moon. His sister is Ch.Kyleakin Maid At Yarrow, who has produced several top-winning champions. Ch.Yarrow's Lucy in the Sky's littermate is Ch.Yarrow's Rocketman, who lives with Sharon Sapp in Georgia, and he too has sired some nice dogs.Other of Solar's sons who have done well in the show ring is Ch.Tamarin Trevor, owned by David and Pamela Peat. Trevor's brother Ch.Tamarin Tanz, owned by Joseph Reinisch, also has been a fine show dog.Another son, Ch.Hilane's The Sun Also Rises, owned and exhibited by Rebecca Brandon and Babettta P.Veater in Alaska, has won several groups and a Best in Show.
