Calice comes from a tight breeding half brother to half sister on "Just for Fun". Justie was one of the top producing bitches for Corinne de Brouwer, breeder of Calice. Having known Talis and Taboo since they were young and seen them at shows in France, I knew this was a combination I would hope to get a puppy from. So came Calice from France.

Calice is a striking bitch. When she moves, your eyes will not stop observing her floating gait. She has a magnificent reach, and a very balanced drive. Calice always stands perfectly on her own. She has a gorgeous coat. She is a very active girl, always looking for fun and play. We believe she has strong herding instinct and is very prey driven. Soon we will test her at the Raspberry Farm on sheep to see what she thinks of those creatures.

In the show ring, Calice is not the most excited as it is too much restraint for her. Despite that, she has been noticed time after time for her clean and beautiful construction and amazing side gait. She went Reserve Winners Bitch at her second show at the 2008 BCA Harrisburg Specialty Show. But the icing on the cake and the big honors came in September, at the 2008 US National Speciaty show, where she won an extremely competitive 12-18 month old class and then went on winning Winners Bitch and then Best of Winners. It is really sad that the show photographer took such bad shots…..

Calice finished her championship early 2009 and is now waiting to mature before returning in the ring. We will breed her before she goes back to shows, giving her time to blossom. She just turned 2 years old. .

Calice is a superior quality female and we most certainly hope she passes on her magnificent attributes.
