Aust. Ch. Murrybel Darque Nikata

"Niki"

 

 

Hip Score: 3:3  International Grade B
Elbow Score: 0:0
Eye Certified: Normal

 

DOB 15 April 2002

 

Niki is the reigning Queen and Foundation Bitch of Delaroche she has developed a very settled attitude towards life but this doesn't stop her from being an active and playful girl  when it suits her. Niki is my son Jeffrey's favourite of all the dogs here at home, and she adores him as well - but of course she has the ulterior motive of getting to share his bed most nights. Niki attained her Australian Champion title in style with a 10pt BOB victory  (2003)  at the final show of the year, and has until recently been trialling in Novice class for her CCD title, she has gained a pass at this but is now taking a break from the obedience arena to have her final litter for us - so she is not just another pretty face!
