What a lovely way to start her show career at her first show from the respected Ann Arch. Also under Ann Arch at this show, the bitch CC winner was out of Ned Ch Aritaur Dolce Vita, and Aritaur Tarantella won the RCC.
However, 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 - Kevin Hoyle, screamed at the top of his voice right next to her. Honey was so frightened she was unable to continue to show, and has since quite understandably disliked showing. 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 a dog to show who doesn't want to, but it was obviously the big man in 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. Honey is lovely to live with - very funny with a beautiful kind character and adorable! She is very much Honey by name, Honey by nature, but she still has the Dobe character when guarding, and will boldly stand out in front of me to ward off any possible danger.
