I
figure you are only going to be blessed with one great dog in a lifetime
and I guess Polly is it. She has, by far, passed any and all of my expectations
of her. Polly is a big girl and sometimes is mistaken for a boy by some
judges, but she has a very pretty face, beautiful front and rear, nice
tight feet, lovely coat and tail set, with jet black pigment, full dentition
and a nice dark eye color. She thinks that I am the best thing since
they invented dog biscuits, and that is great!
Polly
was trying for three wins in a row at Westminster but the day before
she was leaving for New York she had a horrible accident and ended up
in the emergency at the clinic. It took several stitches to put her
face back together again. My wonderful vet buried most of the stitches
so that she could still go to the show. You see, not only was she going
to the Westminster Kennel Club show, but she was scheduled to be on
the NBC-TV Today Show on Sunday Morning. Hopefully some of you saw her.
I asked the cameramen not to show a full facial view of her. This accident
happened on Thursday and we were hoping that the swelling would be down
by then. However, she had some hair loss around her eye and we had to
deal with that. I think the judge at Westminster liked her, he gave
her several good long looks, but she was pretty banged up, and I can
understand why he passed her by. However, Polly had quite a "following"
with the Westminster crowd and they booed the judge when he didn't consider
her for an award. After the judging, back in the benching area, her
"followers" saw her up close and then they understood why
the judge didn't pick her.
Polly
has recovered completely and still has a wonderful attitude and is very
willing to please. Her beautiful litter by Ch. Valleywood Vagabond will
be in the show ring early next year. We plan on keeping a boy and girl
from this litter. Be sure to watch for them! If you want to see them
