Love this picture of Meribel! Jess brought her by for pictures yesterday, and we got good shots of her, Letty and Sparkle. Meribel's sister Amery was the pick of the girls from the Cruise/Penny litter, but Meribel was a close second and is maturing well. She's very together for her age, and although she's got more color than we'd prefer (a few too many spots for my taste) her depth of color (the intensity of her liver coloring) is fabulous, and with a short shiny coat she really looks good. "Fancy", we call it. Meribel is very fancy. She also has the wonderful dark eyes that are extra nice on livers. We took this particular shot because Meribel also inherited her mother Penny's beautiful neck and forechest. So far so good. This one does look like a keeper.
Meribel came along at just the right time too, as Jess & Don needed a little "therapy dog" to help them get through the loss of German Shepherd Pepper who recently died of cancer. A funny, cheerful, extra-cute puppy is definitely good for the soul! The elderly Shepherd Simmie really like Meribel too, so it's made things easier for her as well.
Things are still on for Sparkle to go up to Canada for awhile. She goes in for a rabies shot today, and we'll meet up with the Pellas tomorrow in Duluth. Looks as if the weather is cooperating - fingers crossed.

What a beautiful Dal, love the liberal amount of spotting!! She is a keeper for sure.
Do you do any agility with your Dals or do any of your pups go on to do agility? I don't read much about it on the blog.
I'll be wanting my next agility prospect eventually and I'm hoping for a Dal. My current Dals like to play agility, but are too old to compete.
