Vamp was my first bitch and really highlighted the difference between dogs and bitches. You could never tell her what to do, you had to ask firmly to get the best from her. She was always fun to be around and a joy to work.
This photo was taken at 12 months of age having just landed from jumping over a wall with a (very untidy) retrieve, but it captures her character perfectly!
Vamp was dam to the first Akateze litter. A great mum who passed on the working instinct and sound confirmation of her sire. Her daughter, Rain, is her double in both character and her constant desire to seek out game. Sadly I lost Vamp early and she is still sorely missed.
