Richard cannot pronounce Sheindela (say Shane-dell-la), so he insists on calling her 'Shandy'. Sometimes he calls her 'The Ghost' because she is pale in colour and very quiet (well at least most of the time.) She was the first in her litter to climb out of the whelping box, and the first to do everything a puppy learns to do. Her gorgeous dark eyes and lovely head are a legacy from her mother and her movement from her father. Unfortunately, even though her show record is nothing to be ashamed of, 'Shandy' really doesn't like the show ring, but that is in part because we made the decision to breed from her instead of showing her, as we were in desperate need of Canaan Dog puppies in the UK at the time. Even so, she did attend the World Show in Milan, along with her dad, 'Digger' -- the first two English Canaans to be able to be shown abroad under the new Pet Passport scheme. In any case, 'Shandy' has more than shown her value to the breed in the whelping box. She and our 'Ziggy' have produced two gorgeous litters of excellent quality, first in 1998 and then in 2001. Then in April 2002 she had another trouble-free birth and produced a lovely litter by Christine Goldspink-Powley's Sheleq Harishon at Danehaven which produced our gorgeous 'Honey' (Anacan Sheez The One). As we do not believe in over-breeding any of our Canaans, we decided that was to be her last litter. Like her mother, 'Jasmine', and her daughters, 'Lottie' and 'Lyndsay, 'Sheindela' is loving and sweet and absolutely no trouble to have around. We couldn't imagine life without her. |
