Sapphire (Saffy) was the only puppy in Cristal
last litter.
She loves human attention never wanting to be
far from the action. Curled up in a lap watching TV is a favourite of
hers, as is charging around in the thick of the action with the other
dogs.
Saffy has so far had a
very successful show career in 2006 and 2007, she has gained her Australian
Champion Title in the Showring. In 2008 Saffy was Runner Up in Show at
the Beagle Club of South Australia Championship Show and we are looking forward to her
having puppies in the future.
In April 2009 Saffy gave us a beautiful litter of
5 puppies.
In September 2009 at the 8th Beagle National,
Saffy went Best in Show under beagle specialist judge Mrs Ann Tofts U.K.

Place -Ch Goldengum Pipers River [Browne/King] Challenge Bitch & Best in
Show
Every beagle
has good points but this young lady has it all. I was looking for a
free moving hound. She took my eye as soon as she entered the ring and
did not disappoint on examination. Pretty feminine head, well
appointed. Soft dark eyes, low set leathers, good pigmentation.
Beautiful neck into well laid shoulder. Firm top line to correct tail
carriage. Straight front, neat feet. Excellent quarters with good turn
of stifle. But it was her easy movement flowing around the ring,
extending front and driving from well rounded quarters that sealed it
for me. Full of poise and quality. A worthy Best in Show.
Saffy finished 2009 with a
Best in Group at the Keeshound Club dog show on New Years Eve. This was
followed by another Best in Group in the later show so it was a good
start to2010.
