"Lightning"
|
|
|

Lightning is one of four self brindles in the B litter. Her distinguishing feature was a straight, pencil thin blaze. So, she became Lightning. After going through a seriously hideous ugly stage starting during a very rapid growth period somewhere around three months she ended up being one of my best quality show prospects. Currently, she is my pick show quality bitch in this litter. At first she led me to believe she would not run after showing next to no interest in the lure at the lure practices held last spring. However, she has suddenly decided that running is actually fun! Of course, I am jumping for joy. She is also has a very sweet, gentle personality. Look for her in the ring and the lure coursing field this fall.

Lightning standing in the yard looking at something with her sister, Hay Luz in the backgound. We had just had four inches of rain. Of course the dogs were enjoying playing in all the puddles and were soaking wet.

I love this photo of Lightning, taken on March 3, 2007.

Here is Lightning while she was standing in the same pose as the first picture of her above but from a different angle. This picture was taken on June 28, 2007 after a severe rain fall that dropped four inces in two hours.

Finally, a recent photo of Lightning from the front. She was watching a squirrel up in a tree on April 18, 2008.

Lightning's Face. I really love the pencil thin white stripe of her blaze. When she was born there were no gaps in her blaze, but with time she lost part of her lightning bolt. This photo was taken on September 5, 2006.

Well, this photo is proof that Lightning can actually sit. When she took part in an obedience class Lightning pretty much refused to sit. "How could she be expected to fold up her back legs to sit? What an undignified position for a lovely borzoi girl like her to be in." But look! She can sit! And she can do it all by herself.

Here is Lightning at six weeks. At this age the three bitches were very similar. I was not sure which I liked best. This is one of Margaret Strother's photos.

Here is Lightning at her most gawky. Deena Sessums took this photo for me.

Lightning was five months old. She is finally coming out of the uglies, finally! Ignore the weird person in the background. Since we had to be in the shade of the tree due the heat, I am trying to keep a branch out of the way. Deena Sessums took this photo.
