Thank you, she was a sweetheart. She lived her last couple of years with my son because when we moved here we could only have 2 dogs (darned Florida HOA!) and she was always really his dog. She died of cancer, but was only sick for a couple of weeks. You can’t tell in the photo (those were black and white’s my son took and I photoshopped it into a sepia) but she was an orange roan. She had a few AKC points, but I stopped showing her because she really didn’t like the show ring (it stressed her) and she was already pretty old by the time the breed was recognized by AKC. It wasn’t worth it, she was a Champion to me. :)
She looks like a real sweetie. I understand about the showing. Doesn’t matter. If you show; have fun and if the dog doesn’t like it take her out. I have one that hated it; was so bored. We just knew she was going to lay down in the ring. LOL One time in a practice class; everyone was practicing except Keeley. She was looking into the mirror on the back wall at herself. Could have cared less. Her sister is just the opposite. She screams look at me when she goes into the ring.
