Achievements:
Ava came to me from Julie Matney her breeder. She was 7th pick of 8 female puppies. Who says first pick is the best ! Not in this case...lesson learned. Her first show was at the National Speciality in Malibu and she was second in her class of 32, her litter sister, Piper was first. Ava finished in the US very quickly, in eight weekends of showing in the Pacific Northwest ( very tough competition) with 4 majors, two BOS. At the Evergreen Speciality in June 2006 Ava went BOS. Then motherhood in Decemeber 2006. Ava did not cater to that very well. It just was not in the agenda for her.
A "BIG" litter born on Dec. 14 on the day of the BIG windstorm in Seattle born via C-section. A BIG drama indeed. Ava did not have hardly any milk and by the second day I was bottle feeding 13 puppies which lasted for 3 weeks. Ava cared for them yet when the crew (friends that bottle feeding 101 training) arrived every 4-5 hours she would just watch and be perfectly content with life ! Indeed this was the beginning of the "Princess" title. As the puppies thrived and began on solid food ( you all WILL eat this today) I finally recovered and life became somewhat normal. There was many things in store for the 13 pups of the "BIG" litter. At the age of 8 weeks at their vet check my vet was astounded by their BIG size. 7 boys and 6 girls ranged from 13-17 pounds ! Average is 10-12 pounds. So maybe I fed them too much ! See Ava's offspring on their own pages for their BIG stories.
Ava's return to the show ring came just 6 short months after her puppies were born with a JAM at the Inland Empire Speciality, May 23, 2007. At the 3 day Sporting Dog Spectacular in Surrey, BC in July 2007 Ava went RWB, WB and WB & BOW, Now she just needed one more judge to finish in Canada. She completed that in May 2008 going WB, BOB over 4 Specials and a G3 !
I think Ava much prefers swimming, chasing tennis balls, playing with her dog friends and barking at me rather than the show ring or motherhood.
