1st Place Veteran Bitch at DCA 2006
 Belana was born on Christmas day in
1996. Little did I know that she would be one of the best Christmas
presents I would ever receive.
Michelle Bradshaw, Belana's breeder,
offered her to me as she was already keeping 2 black & white
puppies .
Belana
started her show career by going
WB at the Columbus shows for a MAJOR from the 6-9 month
puppy class. After taking time off to grow up, I entered her at our
local Dalmatian Club of Detroit Specialty where she went RWB.
Suzy Hughes was going to DCA in Perry, GA in 1998 and I
had found out that I could not go at the last minute. Suzy and I became
co-owners at that time. What a ride it was!! WB at DCA and 1st in her
Sweepstakes class! She finished two weeks later at the Greater
Washington Specialty under noted breeder judge Judy English Murray. Belana
made one appearance at DCA as a Special and garnered an Award of Merit
at the 1999 DCA National Specialty under Mr. Robert Rivard.
She has produced 5 champions to date. Her son, Bret, finished out of
the puppy class with a Specialty WD and BOB and GROUP 4 over Specials! Her
daughter, Becka, has 2 Specialty wins and a Specialty supported Best In
Sweepstakes to her credit. Sister, Ivy finished with back to back 4 pt
MAJORS just out of the puppy class.
Belana loves to sleep on
the bed and follows me
around like a shadow and puts her head on my lap when I read. Truly a fine
lady, who I love dearly.
I would like to
acknowledge Susanne Hughes, DVM as Belana's co-owner and handler. She has
shown her to perfection. I am truly grateful.
