Baloo Wins WD At the Potomac!
Friday, April 13th, 2007I just heard the exciting news that “Sure Shot’s Baloo” went winners dog at the Potomac. There were 40 dogs in his class, and likely over 500 males entered as the total was around 1200. Congratulations to Susan Eberhardt and Baloo- that is a huge accomplishment.
Here is a photo of him taken by Carrie Eberhardt at the San Diego specialty, he got WD there also!
There is no way to describe what a major win this is except to say that at 7 1/2 years and this his third specialty win it is nice to know that he is being put up due to his temperament and his soundness. He acts and shows like a three year old. I love this dog and am very proud to be a small part of his past as he is also a grandbaby of ours, his grandfather is “Lennon”, Matilija Joshua Tree. Lennon is a full brother to Ch. SureShot Ready Aim Fire, Matilija Mad About You, and Matilija NDSDF Rosa. Lennon minored out with 12 points. Lennon and Aimee will be 12 years old on June 19. They are from my very first Poppy litter sired by Brodie. I repeated the breeding two years later when I saw what the first litter had produced. Poppy was one of the first bitches to be bred to Brodie, now a famous producer in our breed.
Baloo has two sisters that have been bred and was in a pet home until last year when Susan found out he was available and took him home. He passed his clearances with flying colors and with some major dieting soon entered the show ring. He now has 13 points, all majors and all specialty wins.***FLASH*** Baloo finished at LRCSC in April!
We are expecting Baloo puppies out of our Annie on June 2. This is the first time I have gone back into my lines as Annie is a great- granddaughter of Poppy’s. I can’t wait to see how many little baby Baloo’s will be born.
