My Ambaa

I am very proud of Ambaa's achievements in the last 12 months. She is an absolute delight to live with, and her and Fiyaa are the very best of friends and are inseparable. Ambaa loves the show ring, it is where people take notice of her and that is her aim in life! She has surpassed all my expectations and finished 2007 with 4 CCs, 7 RCCs, her Show Certificate of Merit, Group 3 at Welsh KC, 6 Best in Show (3 at club shows), 4 Res Best in Show, and to top it all she was Best of Breed and last 8 in the group at the Winners show in Amsterdam.

She is a very special girl and my pride and joy. Below are some photos of Ambaa with the trophies she won in 2007.

Ambaa and Fiyaa!
