Am/Can Ch Bella Vita The Sandpiper

Piper is the first dog at Hoiho co-owned with Cyrus. She is without question the happiest dog we know, if not the smartest. She makes us laugh every day.

Her show career started off very strong, winning her sweepstakes class at the 2002 CSCA national specialty and receiving 2 points at her next show. She spent the next summer doing some growing up, before heading to New Brunswick for the CSCC's national specialty. At that show she was Best in Sweepstakes, Best Puppy, and Winner's Bitch. Then it was back home for more growing up.

In 2003 Piper finished both her Canadian and American championships, maturing into a lovely adult. She discovered birds at the 2003 CSCA national specialty and will pursue hunting, as well as agility, in the future.

Piper is out of Ch Bella Vita La Dolce Vita, by Nor Ch Schimo's Aluff. She is bred by Paula Ercoli and Marla Shelmadine, whelped on 7 September, 2001. View Piper's pedigree
