Nati and friends |
Love this picture of Nati, who long time readers may remember as Naughtia, the puppy I kept from the Argus & Boji litter. When she was about 5 months old Naughtia went to live in Ohio with Ann & Dave. Ann's family had shown Dals and raised a few litters of pups, and Ann thought she "might" want to get back into the sport. I sold the pup with the agreement that she could be shown and eventually bred if Ann was truly interested. Shortly after Nati joined their family, Ann & Dave came to the Dal National and watched Argus go Best Of Breed. Welcome back to dog shows!
Fast forward three years. Nati is now a GCh with a CHIC # and is expecting her first litter of pups in August. Ann DID get hooked on showing, finished Nati's Championship with a specialty major, and then continued on to her Grand Championship. She also completed all of Nati's health testing, including eyes, hips, elbows, thyroid & cardiac (the BAER hearing test was done here when Nati was a pup) and Nati received her CHIC # for that.
Nati was bred to a handsome, well-bred Champion Dalmatian who also has all of his health testing. James comes from a "good family" and we are all anticipating a nice litter. Hope to be able to see the pups before the go to new homes.
Have fun, Ann & Dave!
