NOMUSA (Zulu for FAITH) enjoyed a promising start to her show career, gaining her Junior Warrant easily and then her first Challenge Certificate with Best of Breed when she was only 13 months old! However, she was often overlooked as she matured and we missed many CH shows when she was in season.
Nomusa was jointly owned but lived with Sue who loved her dearly. Sadly, Nomusa was found to have an aggressive cancer after some initial tests on mammary lumps proved inconclusive.

"...what a super bitch this is, so balanced & symetrical in outline & shown in superb muscular condition, the more I studied her the more she impressed, lovely head with dark eyes, super neck, excellent shoulders & return of upper arm, neat elbows & good deep chest, very good ridge of good length, super quarters with broad thighs, well developed second thighs & low hocks, moved with good reach & drive covering the ground with ease.
