The one thing I didn’t mention is that Uneeda Mystic Grove Melody (Kara) is my first Smooth Collie ever, in 20 years. I must say, she is a really cool girl and even though her looks appear to be firm, not like the softness of the Rough Collies, she is very soft and sweet!

 

 Kara is an interesting mixture of tomboy and lady.  She can snuggle one moment and stand toe to toe with the alpha female the next! She is honest and forthright. There is no pussyfooting around with Kara.  If she likes you, you know it! If she doesn’t like you, you will know that too!

 

She was born on my husband’s birthday, October 21-22, 2004 (although Steven is a little older than 2 yrs.)

 

She is a Libra/Scorpio Cusp, which literally means, she possesses the beauty of the Libra and the honor of the Eagle/Scorpio, but do not anger Kara as she will never forget!

 

 

As we watched Miss Kara grow into a lovely yearling, I asked Val, if she was ready to be shown yet? Each month I would send her many pictures and each month Val would say “(not yet), Kara was not ready yet! Then it happened, as Kara neared her first birthday, Val said Go ahead and show her, she is ready!

 

Kara started her show career the end of November, 2005 with a First Place and has shown such grace and presence in the show ring, it is hard to believe she isn’t even 2 years old yet. Once she gets her Game Face on she is all business and rarely takes a wrong step!!

 

She was wonderfully handled in her second show, Dec. 17^th, 2005, at the Lehigh Valley Kennel Club’ Dog Show, PA, by

 Franny Hughes

 

That show Kara earned her first AKC points and first Major to boot! Judge Victor Clemente placed her BOS over several Specialty Bitches!

 

 

 

 

 

 I was too busy being a nervous wreck and being the grunt carrying all the grooming items needed at ringside that I totally missed the whole win!

 

In fact it took several people to explain to me what had just happen for me to believe it!

 

Kara then went on to show as our schedule would permit. She earned more AKC points under the expert handling of Franny Hughes, David A. Supplee or John G. Buddie.

 

Since we had a litter of puppies due in July, we decided to take the summer off! Kara decided she would enjoy the Summer too by doing what she loves to do the most, sleep all day on her wonderful Kuranda Bed!

Ahhh... the life of a Show Dog! Watch for Kara to step back into the Show Ring the fall of 2006. Keep checking back to see Kara’s progress
