"MissT", aka "T", aka "T-bag", Ella's daughter and Harvey's grand-daughter, is a lovely cream girl. T is very feline, more cat-like than dog, especially in her dealings with people. With dogs, on the other hand, she's very playful; not too rough with the youngsters and just respectful enough of her elders to prevent being flattened. She never complains when it's time to go out, she loves to play in the snow! BUT don't think that she's anti-social. Miss T loves to be picked up and cuddled ... at a time of her choosing.
Training has been interesting with T; her cat-like demeanor makes it especially difficult. We've entered her into her first shows this spring, just before her first birthday. Wish us luck!
We've returned home after this, Miss T's first show and first time away from home. We're thrilled to report that Miss T comes home with the Winners ribbon and her first point! Although the table shook she was content to allow the judge to thoroughly examine her, never moving her feet or sitting down (this was a total surprise!). She moved out well on the down and back and was quite comfortable going up to the judge ... and stood! Though we have to work on improving our expression Miss T's quality shines through.
T joined McCloud and Breeze for four or the five days of shows in the Tri-Valley circuit and comes home with a Best of Breed win and two more points! We were thrilled, and not a little surprised, when T (handled by George) won the breed under British judge Frank Kane. A fellow exhibitor ringside jokingly remarked that she'd never seen a better imitation of a caterpillar! Even though she was having fun our little Miss T's qualities shone through!
