My "Noughi" has left me. It is still vivid the souvenir
of when, 14 years ago, I was sitting on a plain with this tiny
liver puppy on my lap, flying from her native land, Belgium,
towards her new home: a cute puppy-bitch Madame De Ridder had
chosen for me with the words: "She is small, she'll be successful
in your country…", and she did, as a matter of fact.
Very alive, with a dominant yet harmless attitude towards her
kennel mates, sweet, loyal and affectionate to her human companions,
she proved to be a great show-bitch earning countless wins including
a BIS at the International of Opatjia in 1991, the peak of her
career. |
|
And she was also a wonderful brood-bitch: bred to my late
great CH Ivan, she produced two litters excellent for conformation
and temperament. Champions like Tobacco, Tenerée, Toffee,
Dal, Douglas, Duca della Belcora… and moreover, in combination
with CH Nabucco, she gave birth to CH Vodka della Belcora, a
very successful liver. |
|
But she was above all a loving companion during the quiet
years she spent in my household. Never a trouble-maker, a plump
pretty bitch still trotting briskly and with a strong inextinguishable
appetite. Then, a very sad day, she refused the food and her
eyes became dim…She went away simply without any fuss, causing
no trouble, according to her style… My unique, unforgettable
Noughi, thank you.
