We searched avidly for a puppy to continue the Sh Ch Jobeka Jasper line and were so very fortunate to acquire Shiana from the Mitcharron Kennel, where her grand-mother Mitcharron Memphis Belle is a grand-daughter of Jobeka Jasper of Nortonwood.
Shiana made her debut in the show ring when she was just 7 months old. She just missed qualifying for Crufts at Coventry Gundog Premier Open Show.
Her more recent successes are:-
1st Golden Retriever Yearling and 3rd A.V. Gundog
Yearling - Cumberland County Show - 15th July 06 &
2nd A.V. Gundog Jnr - Durham County Show, 16 July 2006.
2nd Golden Retriever Jnr - Lancaster & D.C.S. Open show - 12th August, 2006.
Reserve P/Graduate Golden Retriever - Morecambe & Heysham CA Show - 26th November, 2006.
Details of all Shiana's show results can be seen on our own website. www.gentiana.co.uk
Shiana is a lovely girl, so pretty and very affectionate. She has the true "Golden" temperament.
We mated her to Sh Ch Shardanell Talk O' The Town at Ipcress J.W. - a beautiful boy who also has the most wonderful temperament. She gave birth to 6 beautiful puppies on the 9th February 2008 - 4 dog puppies and 2 bitch puppies. All puppies are doing well. One is at Ringcraft and two are engaged in Obedience Courses. Photos of the puppies can be seen on our new "progeny" page on our own website www.gentiana.co.uk
LIke Genny, Shiana visits a local Nursing Home. Some of the Residents do not communicate with each other, but when Shiana appears they have come to touch her and it is very rewarding to see them smile and "emerge from their inwardness."
