'Tara' is a lovely Canaan with super structure and the most beautiful face. As a matter of fact, her face is simply irresistible, thus her registered name. 'Tara' is very much both her mother's and father's daughter as you can see both of them in her. If you are a regular visitor to this site, you may remember that we had great difficulty deciding between keeping 'Tara' or her sister, 'Lyndsay'. In the end, 'Tara' went to live with a lovely family with a little girl. However, the little girl developed allergies to 'Tara', resulting in asthma-like symptoms and two years after leaving us, in April 2003, 'Tara' came back to us. Richard, who is always saying 'no more dogs', was always smitten with 'Tara' and couldn't resist keeping her. (I told you she is irresistible!) With no ringcraft, and still not well lead-trained, as she was walked on a harness by her former family, 'Tara' was taken to her very first show ever, Southern Counties Championship Show, 30th May, and to our delight won Best of Opposite Sex in AVNSC Utility under a Finnish judge. We took her to her second show on the 14th June, and she won her class, beating two males---one a World Winner. 'Tara' has continued to surprise and delight us. She whelped an absolutely beautiful litter, sired by our 'Remy', on the 15th October 2003 and of course, we kept one. I had offered Richard one of 'Tara's' puppies to replace (as much as one can) his deceased 'Bobby' -- the only one of our Canaans he ever felt was truly 'his'. After giving it much thought, Richard decided to accept my offer and chose the puppy who is a spitting image of her mum. He decided to call her 'Monkey', but she is registered as Anacan Dressed For Success. 'Monkey' qualified for Crufts at her second show ever at 6 months of age. Though still out of coat after having her litter, 'Tara' then went on to win Reserve Best Bitch at Crufts 2004 under respected Group judge, Mr Bob Gregory. She has now bodied up and is in lovely coat, so we expect her to continue doing well in the show ring. But first and foremost, she is a much loved member of our 'family'. |
