She’s the reason I was so excited about the idea of breeding Sally to Lucas. ❤️
Sally, her dam, is the spitting image of her own mother, Matilda, who is basically a 2.0 version of her mother, Frenkie. Put these three girls in the same room and you literally wouldn’t know which one is which. And I think that’s wonderful! 🙂
Matilda was sired by Nelson Olivier iz Palevyh Buldogov, and there’s a long story behind that dog. A story of turning heads, raising eyebrows, and some truly outstanding performances in the show ring. And then there was his wonderful personality, which I still miss every single day, years after he left us.
And then there’s Lucas.
A son of our A’Vigdors Serafino, a dog who proved himself both in the show ring and as a sire, and who is now enjoying his well-deserved retirement, being spoiled rotten by everyone in our household.
Lucas is very much a 2.0 version of his father, with some lovely features inherited from his mother, A’Vigdors Umberta.
So, when I thought about bringing these two lines together, I had every reason to be excited.
And here she is. The culmination of everything I love about the dogs behind her, generations of dogs I’ve known, loved, bred, raised, and admired.
Bred, raised, and staying right where she belongs. ❤️
