| The Puppet litter was a dream come true for both Darlene and myself. We tried for more than a year to make this breeding happen. George and Piper were British imports from litters that were the culmination of years of careful breeding by Belamba and Bergeau kennels. Their pedigree cross includes many of Europe's best and most influential Belgians. Both of them have passed on but they leave quite a legacy behind. The first time we tried for this cross, Piper reabsorbed all but one of the babies and we tragically lost that one early on. Because of George's age at the time (13), we used some of his very precious and limited frozen semen both times, and did surgical inseminations. Luckily, we had lots of babies the second time around. The Puppets are all that we dreamed of and more! They are active in agility, obedience, rally, herding and tracking, attracting fans wherever they appear. Five are AKC champions, a 6th is an Agility Champion and a 7th is a Musical Freestyle Champion. The Puppets bring together the temperament, working potential and beauty that we strive so hard to achieve. |

Goldie lives up to her name in the ring and is quite funny to watch, she will dance and spin at the end of her 6 foot lead. She has all the characteristics we strive for.
