I am SOO pleased to announce that Karizma's Liberia Von Loar took her first major points yesterday under Judge Philip Miller in Ohio - a true gentleman in the breed who has bred many beautiful Champions. Libby is co-owned with my very very good friend in Mexico, Carlos Arguimbau. It has been a real tough row for my beautiful black Libby, and I would advise anyone considering showing a black - DON'T !!! As Natalie Lowe, owner of Libby's full black brother, Scher-Lo's Marko of Karizma said, "I never knew how hard it was to be black" And, as much as I dislike this next line and as corny as it sounds: (there is no other way to say it) "Thank you all at ringside for your support" I was thrilled to hear all the clapping ! Libby is sired by CH Karizma's Born In The USA (Sel.CH Scher-Lo's Jr. Executive X Karizma's Kookaracha - a Kahlua daughter & litter sister to CH Karizma's Frangelico), and out of Karizma's Tanzania - my beautiful, beautiful solid black Kahlua daughter - (thank GOD I never sold her as I wanted to at one point) Oh yes, and Libby's Black & RED full brother who just won his Maturity and has both his majors (Scher-Lo's Rogue of Karizma) says "na na na na NA" We couldn't stay for today's show as my husband Alan, who is a coin dealer, had a big coin show to attend this morning back in New Jersey (I go to dog shows and spend money and Alan goes to coin shows and makes money - sounds like a good combination to me) Thanks for listening to my brag !
