Doris E. *********************************************************** In my excitement over bragging about our new Grand Victrix I forgot to sign Doris Estabrook's name to my brag as Doris is her co owner ( I have an 'automatic' signature setting ) Our new Grand Victrix Champion Mar Haven's Black Orchid ( called BO ) was actually bred by myself, Doris Estabrook AND the world renowned Mr. Bob Grady ( he doesn't like black GSDs ) Bob saw her for the first time at her Futurity and decided he "might" like this one...........<G> Bob Grady showed the dam of BO to most of her points ....so I had put him on as her co owner. LIZZY ....BO's dam, was close to being a perfect German Shepherd Dog in all ways......but..... BO however is the "evil spawn". She has opened gates and doors since she was three months old......bad enough....but she also lets out all the other dogs. One missed clip and in a split second she is out and lets others out......and in the ring, all space within 8 ft. is HERS........and it took us and Bill Basu just a few minutes to realize she would gait fine.......as long as it was HER way, and that is all loose leash all the time. We love her........but there are times.............<G> Maybe a herd of sheep IS in her future.........she IS after all three times COLOR GUARD. Frank & Carolyn Martello AND Doris Estabrook. and Thank You to Mr. Bob for loving her dam LIZZY. marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.Marhaven.com Gosh Doris, I'm almost positive we have some sheep here in Virginia. No need for you to exert yourself on that account!!!
