Bridgit - UKC CH Indelible Valentijn 1st Arkas Bridgit is the newest addition to our Bouv crew. She was born October 7, 2005 and she came home to us the end of November at 7 weeks old. From day one, Bridgit has shown that she has spunk and personality. Her extremely expressive face is only one of the reasons why we decided on picking her over her litter mates. Our 4.5 hour trip home from the breeder's went very well. Bridgit laid in her borrowed crate (Buddy's, the cat's, crate) and snoozed most of the trip. Once home, she inspected her new home and greeted both Quin and Lacey fearlessly. Quin didn't really know what to do with a little ball of fluff, but before the weekend was through, Lacey had adopted Bridgit. Lacey and Bridgit stayed together constantly. Where ever Lacey was, Bridgit wasn't far away.
Once Bridgit hit about 3 months old, Quin finally realized that the "ball of fluff" was another dog and they've now started playing together. It still has to be on Quin's terms but it's very amusing to watch him roll over on his back for her to climb on him. Bridgit experienced her first dog show in May 2005. She was just a week past her seven month old birthday. We were only going for exposure. We'd go, play around, introduce her to the sites/sounds/smells and come home. Bridgit had other ideas. She trooped in there like she'd been doing it all her life. In the end, we came home with three Group 2 placements, a Group 3 placement, and a new UKC Championship. What an amazing little puppy!!
