African Queen

It was a big weekend of shows for the Invictus crowd. Rosie – who is Raimi’s sister from the first litter – was at a show in California this past weekend and did us all proud. According to Erin, who showed her in the class, Rosie is ‘Halo perfected’. Better head, better front, more length, less rounded croup to sacrum – all the things we were going for with the breeding. She is very pleased with Rosie who is also, according to Erin, spoiled to pieces by Virginia and Jon! She needs a little fine tuning in the show ring so that she knows how to behave and that she actually does have to do what she’s told by her handler. I guess on the first day Erin had words with her about listening and the second day she was much better!

We are quite sure this girl will finish her US championship quickly, she is entered in a few upcoming shows so we will have to track her progress as she gathers points. I know her owners want to do much more with her so once she is finished she’ll be spayed and will likely take off on her agility, rally, and obedience titles! She is a smart little whip – which I knew when she was a baby, what a spit fire. She was ALWAYS into everything and drove me mental!

Rosie has also acquired her Canine Good Citizen title so I have updated the website to reflect that achievement. Halo has her Canadian Canine Good Neighbor title and I’m not surprised this is something Rosie would pass with flying colors.

Good luck to Virginia and Jon at the shows and keep me updated – hopefully we will see another champion for Halo in the near future!
