What is a “once in a lifetime dog”? When Kiara first bounced into our lives 8½ years ago, we knew she was special but, oh boy, we had no idea just how. Of course, as South Africa's top Labrador bitch for 6 years running, her show accolades are incredible and we are enormously proud of her. Her show career has been a magical whirlwind and she has been a wonderful ambassador for her breed, increasing the breed's profile in the show ring and inspiring continuous improvement in overall breed quality. But it's more than this, so much more.
Kiara is a character second to none. Perhaps a part of her exhibiting success is her steadfast conviction that she owns the ring. She just loves showing and is convinced that everyone around the Gundog ring is there to see her and her alone. She sets exacting standards for anyone who handles her – anything less than a steady stream of tasty treats is met with rather vocal remonstrations that result in her handler quickly shovelling further treats into her mouth. And so she has trained many a handler over the years. She knows how to get her way in every aspect of her life and has her entire family dancing to her tune. Her fun loving, energetic exuberance has us all captivated and we adore her!
Her show career has been a wonderful journey for us and a joy for her and we will continue showing her (with the usual “ohhhh it's Kiara” whispers), for as long as she continues to enjoy it. But whatever the future may hold, we will enjoy and treasure every single moment we have with our once in a lifetime Kiara!
