| Shibka is a truly wonderful
girl - bright, agile, affectionate, talented and beautiful
as well. She has grown from a cute fluffy pup into a
self-assured young lady who has risen quickly to the
position of pack leader. Respected by all the other girls
she has a natural presence and is universally popular.
Her mother Rogue is a natural command
leader and Shibka has inherited this rare and important
trait. From her early tries in harness it became obvious
that she would lead the team and now, in her second year she
is indispensable in keeping the lines taut, the pace up and
the direction correct!
Shib began her show career well and
has been placed under breed specialists at Championship
level, qualifiying for Crufts 2006 twice, but at the moment
she has decided that she prefers the working life and is
having a break from conformation competition to concentrate
on the 2007/2008 racing season. I hope that next year she
will return to the ring in style.
At home, nobody has made more of a
mark on the pack than Shibka. Born the night Shamanu died,
she seems to have been destined to take his place as leader,
and has gained the loyalty of the pack at a very early age.
Her strength of personality and dignified nature add to the
presence she has - really quite some lady, our Shibka. |
