"Annie" CH. PaRay's Anastasia or "Annie" as she is known at home, opened for us the new world of dog shows. Our original goal of purchasing a female to breed and to have quality puppies was detoured from the start. We came to understand that breeding was preceded by reaching championship status in the show ring. Fortunately, Paul Flores and Tray Pittman took us "under their wing" and Annie commenced the show circuit. Since Dean and I were not yet retired, we were not able to follow her progress in person. Finally she was entered in a show nearby our home and we nervously watched her performance with cameras in hand. We thought she was beautiful but the judge deemed her last of the entries! We began to question if we made the right decision to show her. The next day she was selected Best of Breed with a five point major defeating existing Champions. The excitement was unbelievable and the bug had us infected! She went on to finish that Spring and was bred to a beautiful male, BIS BISS CH. PaRay's Paragon ROMX, "Jake" in the Fall. As great as "Annie" was in the show ring, she was as good or better as a mom!. The books we read talked about super-moms in the dog world, with clean, well-fed, happy babies. Annie fit all the superlatives and descriptions. We look forward to her next litter in 2009.
