Little Girl was a very special lady. She was my very first black basset with thumbprints (but definately not the last!) and I loved her to distraction. Perhaps because I was so enamoured of her, she just wouldn't show for me, so I finally broke down and sent her out with Bryan Martin PHA. She is the ONLY basset we have ever had a handler show. In two weekends he put a major and 4 singles on her, enough for me to regain my confidence, although this little lady made him work for his fee! I finished her myself, taking Winners Bitch at the Twin Cities Basset Hound Club Specialty - my first specialty win. Little Girl was bred only once and has one champion daughter. It's amazing how the loss of such a little girl could leave such a big hole.... |
