CARA was born in Italy on the 19th October 2001, bred by Guido Persino and came to live with us in the autumn of 2002. She showed in the UK and Europe and her best result was to win the Reserve CC at NW&PB 2005. She had one litter from whom we kept a dog, Kees, and a bitch, Zephie. We were eager to keep her lines but Zephie never had puppies (she didn’t like males until she was too old) but Kees sired two litters and by going back into the female lines from one of the matings we chose Vesper and now we have Vesper’s baby Poppy. Poppy is a constant companion to Cara, showing respect to her age but still playing with her, as far as Cara is willing to play. Below and on the next page are photos of Cara from Novenber 2001 up to today. We hope you enjoy them as much as we have enjoyed having Cara live with us.
