What a lovely way to start her show career at her first show from the highly respected Ann Arch. Also under Ann Arch at this show, the bitch CC winner was bred from Ned Ch Aritaur Dolce Vita, and Aritaur Tarantella won the RCC.
Unfortunately for Honey, there is a practice from some show groups of screaming as loudly as possible to draw attention to themselves. This was Honey's first show and a moron screamed at the top of his voice right next to her when his bitch won. It terrified Honey who was so frightened she was unable to continue to show, and from that day she has understandably disliked showing. The only consideration in showing by some people is their own win. If you happen to read this, it may not matter to you that you terrified a puppy, and in the greater scheme of things, showing is not important enough to me to force any dog to show who doesn't want to, but it was obviously mighty big of you to terrify a 6 month old puppy at her first show.
Honey was bred by Dianne & Pete Burree and came to live with us at home in April 08. She is a repeat mating of the beautiful Leibwache Sunset Stripper which prompted me to consider a puppy when Dianne repeated the mating - if she was brown, and if she was as good as Ruby!
The whole litter were beautiful - click HERE to see them all and there are two other boys - Richard and Lisa Kirk's L. Jesse James and Gary & Mandy Mackintosh White's Leibwache Mad Hatter who won his first CC & BOB in 2009 from Kathy Boncey - when his elder sister Leibwache Sunset Stripper won the BCC. At Birmingham Dobe Club show, five out of the 6 class placings were Falk progeny, including the two boys.
As usual, Di raised a superb litter from Leia and she has started to even up the numbers on browns in the house which was becoming a bit overwhelmed by the blacks. She is great fun to live with - very funny with a beautiful kind character and adorable!
