Vikhra, Valeska We All Shine On , is pictured below taking RWB at the 2006 BCOA National Specialty.
She was as beautiful as it is possible for anyone to be.
We are delighted about the accomplishments of lovely Vikhra's 3 year old children,
which couldn't happen without the hard work and dedication of their owners,
Dr. Carol Hannon and Gisela Bailey. You go, girls.

***************
This same weekend, our beloved Aza, Vega Shelk Shpinel, was lost at the Eagle CO shows when she worked the zipper of her soft crate open
while owner Peg Arnold was in the ring. A HUGE THANK YOU is in order to everyone who helped in the 12 hour search for Aza.
Every effort made was equally important, because any one of them might have been the one resulting in her return.
She was recovered thanks to the kindness of a local landscape gardener, who found her standing in the road, dehydrated,
exhausted, and unable to take another step on her painfully worn-out feet, which had no pads left.
It was 94 degrees in the air that day; who knows what the temperature of the asphalt she ran on was.
This kind man called for help for Aza, and stayed with her, protecting her from traffic, until Peg arrived.
Aza is recovering comfortably at home in her favorite spaces and positions, see below...
Peg, you go girl, too, and in the worst of circumstances. Photos courtesy Peg Arnold

Revel--Valeska Rendezvous Revealed
"The proper and only 'true type' of any breed is that which most exactly subserves the purposes for which the breed is designed.
Any malformation which is likely to unfit the dog for its uses is fatal to its being true to type."  The Onlooker 1891.
