Korad, S LCh Cleopatra
(1979-1992)
Sire: Stardog's Peer
Dame:. John Blund's Xantippa (Silka)
It all started with this collie lady. She was fantastic. Which first dog is not?
At first, she trained me for five years, and then I tried to train her the following five years. The results were not impressing, but she became an Obedience Champion and a search-and-rescue dog, level 4 (out of 4 levels).
For Cleo life was an ongoing festivity, and if one day it wasn't, she turned the day into one. Life simply could not be boring together with Cleo. If I felt a little bit down some day, she stood there with her piece of cloth: "Hei there, don't be such a bore, let's play instead!!"
I will probably never get a collie like her again.

Cleo was an Obedience Champion and was certified as an elite class (fourth level) Search and Resque Dogs in our Working Dogs competition system (she did not become a Working Dog Champion though).
