KLASSIE AT 4 YEARS OF AGE

Although her Gorgeous head & conformation is evident, Klassie remains a challenge in the show ring. To see her outside going for a casual stroll, her tail is up and she prances around like she owns the world, ..put her in a show ring and she becomes a totally different dog. She clamps her tail and has the unfortunate talent to make herself look less than pretty when you try to hand stack her! We know she is very worthy of the title Champion, and we refuse to give up on her thinking that some day she will realise showing isn`t that bad. She will be shown a day here and there every once in awhile as showing in the very early mornings for days in a row traveling with a baby has proven to be less than fun :(

Klassie`s Stellar Health testing makes her a HUGE asset to the breed & to our breeding program. We look forward to her having puppies in early 2010 & are hoping they will take on their dads show ring mannerisms`.

***UPDATE***

Klassie now has *8* points towards her Canadian Championship.....she will take a short break to have her babies and will return to the ring late 2010.
