As a puppy she followed in her mother's footsteps.

She started her show career at the age of 6 months plus one day by going Winners Bitch and Best Puppy in Group!

She is, to the best of my knowledge, the all time top winning shorthair puppy in terms of Best Puppy in Show & Best Puppy in Group wins, and her record is still intact after over 20 years!

She was shown to all those wins by my 13 year old daughter Melanie.

She finished quickly as a junior puppy and was shown as a special for the rest of the year to win those puppy groups.  Competing against Stormy, she won enough green and white ribbons to cover a wall!

She loved to show - for Melanie.  They were a wonderful pair!   Piggy would grab her lead in her mouth and take herself around the ring in the group!  And when she won she would snatch the rosette and carry it from the ring - proud of her accomplishment...

She was shown only sparingly as an adult - we were still campaigning Stormy - and was never bred.

She won the GSPC of Eastern Canada specialty under Thomas Bradley over the largest entry to date for a Canadian Specialty.  That time she showed for me!

We retired from shows (and dogs) together and she spent her remaining years as my constant companion.  She had been a royal pain in the kennel, but she excelled as a house dog, and we shared 11+ years of full time companionship enjoying life together.

Thanks for the memories...
