Lizzi, AKA 'The Lizzard' is from our first 'Ceellen' litter. She is a very sweet girl, and loves to help bring up the puppies, when she is not digging in the garden or barking at the horses!
Lizzi had an amazing show career, with numerous Classes in Show, both Specialty and All Breeds, and many 25 point CCs and BOBs. She earnt her title with a 25 point Best of Breed at just 16 months of age. She is a beautifully made girl, and is a joy to watch going around the ring.
Sadly, Lizzi has had a number of fertility issues. After several attempts we were finally able to get Lizzi in whelp in 2010 with the help of Specialist vets, but she ended up loosing a litter of five puppies. As disappointing as it is to not have a 'mini Lizzi' to go on with we have decided not attempt further matings with Lizzi, and she remains here with us as a "lounge lizzard".
