Rachel was a lovely, quiet, white puppy with dark eyes, and a few pale cream spots.  She has turned into a lovely, quiet adult with dark eyes, a silky wavy white coat with a few gold spots, full dentition and a scissors bite.  She won two 4 point majors, handled by Steve, to finish her conformation championship 4-27-2014.   She completed her Rally Novice title 10-18-2013 and her Beginners Novice title 10-17-2014.  Rachel earned her Companion Dog title 8-9-2015. She was one of the easiest dogs I have trained to heel off-lead. She did lag some, but she wouldn't leave me. Her favoite spot in the house, was the dog bed closest to my recliner, where I sat in the evenings reading and watching TV. Rachel was last shown at 10 1/2 years, in the veteran sweepstakes at the November 2019 MBC specialty. She was sound and always healthy, until the last 2 months. She had stomach cancer, and we had to let her pass, March 12, 2020. We do wish we had gotten puppies from her, but the one attempt to breed her, via frozen semen, failed. We are grateful for the almost 11 years we had with beautiful, sweet Rachel. Rachel was simply, the best.
