Czarina is:
- Amazing - She impressed me from the first second I met her, and still continues to surprise and impress me
- Outgoing and Trusting - Like her sister, she absolutely loves people. Not as crazy about other dogs yet.
- Beautiful - In my objective opinion, she's completely gorgeous!
- Energetic - But she's already started to develop a very good on/off button.
- Loves to Work - She takes initiative to work, and loves to learn new things.
- Can Play with Anything - Which is funny. Anything I have is considered interesting and worth working for.
- Loves to Cuddle - Nothing's better than cuddeling up with mummy and cuddle.
- Stubborn - She does not give up! And is quite convinced that when she thinks she's right, she IS right.
- Smart - I think I have my future obedience star here :)
- Fast learner - She learns really quickly, and remembers well too. Especially for such a young puppy.
- Not scared of heights - She loves to have a nice view of the world (and scare her mommy)
Since I wanted a girl, I was extremly happy to hear that Fauna gave birth to a litter of 6(!) girls, all healthy and gorgeous.
Only problem was the luxury of choosing one. Thankfully Hanna really helped me with that part too. When I saw the pictures
of the puppies, there was one that touched my heart. And when Hanna described her personallity, and the way she went around to
explore the house on her own at only 3 weeks, I was pretty much hooked :) After hearing the results from the puppy test, there was no doubt
in my mind. I knew that the little White Girl was meant for me. And this is how Czarina came into my life.
Why the name, Czarina? Well, I was reading at book shortly after Sari's tragic death, when the name Czarina struck me. As Sari was my little prinsess, it was only fair that a new puppy would be named after royalty. Most of the time I just call her Rina, and she's already started earning some nicknames, all of them Norwegian: Trollet, Trilledyret, Monsteret, Udyret, FinePina, Rinamor... Knowing myself, more will come!
I really have to say that this puppy's been amazing from the first second I met her! Even though I first saw her in her crate in the cargo hall, surrounded by trucks, fork lifts and people running everywhere, she was so calm and content. When I got up to her cage, she just stod up, wagged her tail and licked my fingers through the cage :D And as soon as I took her out she gave me several kisses! She seemed to know, right away, that we belong to each other. She also charmed the security guards to leave their post watching the gate to the airport runway. And they both got kisses from her, hehe. Meanwhile, airplanes were taking off and landing right next to us. She just didn't care. She fell asleep in my arms going back home, and as soon as we came into my apartment, she acted like it had been her home forever. With a healthy appetite, and a ton of energy, she ran around like she owned the place. What a trusting, outgoing and happy puppy! Hanna, I don't know how you do it, but the puppies that come from your home are something else! :D This little one is just perfect for me. And she's beautiful too. With an amazing face, dark, lovely eyes, and a great body... She's got it all :) She's everything I could have wished for and more.
By the time I'm writing this, Rina has been with me for a month, and it already feels like I've known her forever. We have started some basic obedience tranining and I plan to continue with this passion, obedience, with her. It is fun to start over with a puppy, but a little odd as well. Seeing how much she has to learn, really makes me realize how far along Sari had come. I clicker train and use shaping in my training. So far she's proven to have excellent work ethics, she just loves to train, and will seek me out with one of her toys when she wants to train. She's definatly not a quiter, as she won't give up easily. When we're training she doesn't give up even if she doesn't get the right the first times. And when it comes to mischieves, well, she's a persisten thing, hehe. This is a quality I think will come in handy for future obedience training. She is also extremely happy in everything she does, and we will have a lot of fun for the years to come!
If we have the time, I'd like to try training, if not competing, in tracking as well. I love to let my dogs use their minds, and it's so much fun working together as a team. She's developed at lot throughout the month I've had her, and to me she looks really promising! I've made plans to show her both in the USA and Norway during 2009 to hear what the judges have to say about her. In my eyes she has a beautiful body structure, excellent movements, is a natural poser and has an absolutly gorgeous face. Those dark, intelligent eyes have me sucked in :) Right now, it seems that she's developing quite a coat, but I won't hold my breath on that one, as Sari's coat was great until she turned 10 months old, hehe. And then she decided to put her bikini on for a year or so ;) It would be fun if she could achieve her American Champion title before we go back to Norway. But to me, it's more important to have a happy, healthy and working dog than one that's considered beautiful :) Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And, if Czarina turns out to be an excellent Belgian Sheepdog, I'll want to breed her. But that's only if she is healthy and has the right qualities to pass on to the breed. If I decide to breed her, it will be in cooperation with Hanna from Kennel Tendance as we have the same goals for the breed.
