Darla's Pedigree

 

Darla's health clearances: 

OFA Cardiac, OFA prelim Good hips/normal elbows

 

Darla is structurally and by temperament one of the most correct dogs I have seen. She is intelligent, athletic, confident, and has a friendly, outgoing nature. She is a ball and Frisbee freak, she ground scent tracks, and has both a high play and prey drive. She is a notch or two more mellow than her mother, but otherwise has all of the same attributes and would still be considered high drive for her breed. She is mischievous and head strong, but once fully trained in a particular area she sets into her proper role quickly and without complaint.
Structurally, Darla is very correct and is very striking to look at in the flesh. She has a very gracious and feminine look, yet does not sacrifice substance. She has an overall very curvy look with a nicely sabred long tail , wide spring chest, narrow waist and excellent curve of stifle. Her front and rear are straight as an arrow, and her topline smooth and without break. Darla has very dark eyes, perfect pigment, cat like paws, perfect ear set , and exquisite almond eyes that carry a very serene, intelligent expression. Her movement is correct in single tracking coming and going, and has a flowing, yet nice drive in her side gait; with nice front and rear extension. She is a product of Sapphire, our Best In Show girl, and Legolas, whom SureFire recently placed in a kennel in France. We expect at least as much success with Darla someday, as we have with Sapphire in the show ring. In every single way, Darla is the total embodiment of what Parsons Creek Shepherds is trying to produce.
