Gertie is our first homebred Australian
Champion bitch from our very first Happyblack litter.
She titled at 12 months and 10 days with a Best Junior in
the Gundog Group at Temora.
Despite limited showing and always competing against her “show
boy” brother, Gertie has excelled in the show ring
winning the first Class in Show Award for the Happyblack
Kennel (over 61 all breed entries no less), a R/Up Best in
Group from the Puppy Class, 12 Class in Group and Sweepstakes
Awards and class placings at all three Labrador Specialties
she has attended.
On Boxing Day 2008 we nearly lost Gertie to a tiger snake
bite on the South Coast of NSW. We are forever grateful to
the wonderful vets and nurses (Fiona!!!) that nursed our
Gertie back to health.
Gertie and Fran have been training in obedience and hope
to commence trialling late 2009. Gertie’s first litter
with imported semen is being planned for late 2010/early
2011.
