After the work I did and all love we all gave her, she recovered in
a surprisingly short time. I remember her as a positive dog that always
stood up for me if needed. She loved all her puppies and took care of
them in the best possible way. She was very pleasant to work with Her workingspirit is something that I feel that she has passed strongly
over to her kids.She would have made much more as a working-dog, I´m very happy that I got the possibility to have Bambi´s
last born, the female Mamres Hazy Shade at home. What a dog to work
with!
Rhonda",as we called her, was born to a litter with only three puppies,two males and "herself". It was the third, and last litter of her dame LADY´S TRICK BAMBIINA, and I was of course eagerly waiting to have a female out of this one. Especially when this was, and became the first and last litter to be born in Finland by the gorgeous male Graaf Gojak V Neerlands Stam. The males was born first and when I already had given up hope, seven
hours after her brothers, she was born!! I had promised a "friend
of a friend" to have a female puppy, as soon as I got one in my
litters. She had been waiting for this puppy in one and a half year,
and here she was! Unfortunately it didn´t work out as I had imagined.
After some difficulties at the age of 10 months Rhonda moved back to
me. quickly figured out the main source of all the difficulties; it was
the very active, hectic and quite dominant temperament of hers. We came
along fine, until she thought that she had to take over the lead and
that her mother, six year old Bambi was "nothing" in her opinion.
It was followed by bloody fights, more often than we could bare and
of course it was quite a exhausting time for all of us. Finally our decision was that Rhonda had to move. We found her a home
in northern Finland. A couple that wanted to have a dog to work with.
It seemed as an optimal place for her! But.. I don´t know where
the interest in working suddenly disappeared, but even the normal life
with this dog seemed to be too much for them. Rhonda was behaving very
dominating, she wanted to decide Then again, Rhonda moved to me, and this time for good! We had to arrange
our living a little, because Bambi was also still living with us. It
meant that I had to move to my parents house and live there with Rhonda.
It just lasted for a couple of months, because that December we had
to put Bambi to sleep. Rhonda was a dog that you just had to work with! She loved it, gave always 100% of herself, and expected me to do the same. She´s got "it all" and she would have had a working career to envy, if it wasn´t for me? We competed in tracking just two times. She won her second competition and got the right to move up to class II. Rhonda had to be put asleep 2000 when she was hit by a car.
It all ended too soon and I still miss her, always will.. The Dog of my life! |
