From Fudge's owner, Sanna-maija Virtanen,
in Finland:
I have lived with Fudge only for a short while. The reason I wanted to import Fudge to Finland was that her temperament and expression reminds me so much of Barbi (Calypso Double Dares Bulldobas) .... and really, Fudge is as loving as her aunt! Fudge has this 'inside sparkle' that you can see in her happy and outgoing character. When she's wagging her tail her whole tiny body is moving - and this girl really is a KISSING MACHINE!! I also hope that when time comes, Fudge will leave her wonderful temperament to her progeny. Fudge will be eyetested this year and she will also be hiptested when she's old enough. Fudge has adjusted here very well and she also is a very steady basenji. - Sanna-Maija ******
Sunny passes on fantastic brindle patterning. I was anxious to see how that would translate another generation down, and you can look at Fudge and see that the distinct patterning gene is alive and well down another generation. This time, in Fudge's face are the most fascinating circles that frame her expression. I call them Maori-like ceremonial markings as they so resemble those New Zealand face paintings and tatoos! Like her Aunt Barbi before her, more sweet temperaments in this wondeful litter from Ch. Calypso Kilimanjaro and Calypso Butter Brickle (full, older sister to Barbi). The litter was all girls, a first here at Calypso, and we never had more fun. I think I would be bereft at losing any of them if we still didn't have sister "Tyger" here with us... if the right show home comes along.... but in the meantime, we have a Tiger-striped princess from this remarkable union who is being raised by Mama Toffee and Uncle B'Aatu, and all is well. Fudge brings, once again, beautiful base orange and distinct chocolate striping to the genetics she can pass on. When breeding brindles, your color and quality of distinct stripes is everything. That she is wonderfully put-together: hard topline, nice short back, old-fashioned moderate angulation... very nice qualities for S-M to work with in the future. I look forward to seeing how Fudge develops, and how she shows over in Finland, and will see both my stripey girls over there in spring 2004 which cannot come soon enough for this doggy Grandma, let me tell you! - Susan |
