GCH CH Holiday's Singular Sensation
Bebe is a very special girl in many ways. Her sire "Beo" is owned by Priscilla Young of Park City, UT. Priscilla moved to the USA with her husband just a couple of years ago from Spain. She grew up in England. So you can imagine her beautiful accent :) When I found out about Beo being in the US I was so excited. He is from my very favorite kennel, Hiselfoss in Norway. I was so fortunate to have visited the Hiselfoss kennel in July of 2011 and meet the owner, Gro Solberg and see her beautiful dogs. I have always admired her pedigrees and dogs and was the highlight of my trip to visit her~! What an awesome host Gro was and she made a feast for Jeni West and myself~! |

So when Bebe's mom, "Blue" was ready to breed, my mom and I drove out to beautiful Park City, UT and met Beo in person~~! Priscilla and her husband Fred are wonderful and we have a very good friendship after this~! It was a long long trip. We did 3,000 miles in 3 days. We dropped Blue off at Priscilla's and turned around and headed back. My handler was going to be in Colorado at a show the next week and Priscilla at the same show, so she dropped Blue off with Jeni after breeding. Worked out perfectly~!
I was excited when we checked Blue at 35 days of pregnancy that she was PREGNANT~! She wasn't real big so we did an X-ray at 55 days and could only see one puppy. So it was my mission to make sure that one precious baby made it out safe and sound. A large breed dog will not go into labor with one puppy, so our timing was crucial to get that puppy out, not too early and not too late~! Luckily we had done all the progesterone testing so we knew our window to work with.
On the morning of November 2, 2011 we did a C-section on Blue. Out came this beautiful baby girl with all this flash and so perfectly marked~! When I took the baby home I knew I was going to have to bottle feed her as Blue did not have but a drop or two of milk. So I bottle fed her and it was Blue's first litter, so she learned to be a mom with one puppy even though she did not have milk.
Bebe was such a big chunk and loved her bottle..LOL I was talking to Sara Karl (AKC judge and owner of beautiful Berners) of Colorado about what to name her. She said she has always wanted to name a singleton puppy, "Singular Sensation". I said, "wow...that is neat, but what is the call name"? She said "Bebe" which was funny because I was thinking of Bebe because of Blue and Beo both with "B's". She explained that she saw the "Chorus Line" Broadway Show in New York and it was the most amazing thing she has seen~! And she said "Bebe" was one of the main characters and was a neat character in the production. So that is how we came up with Bebe's name and she is a Singular Sensation~! To be the only puppy and to be so awesome at that~! She has lived up to her name~!
Bebe's personality really is spectacular also. She is so happy and just loves life. She has a happy look to her always and loves people and being in the public eye :) She also has an incredible side gait movement like her mom and Aunts. I expect great things from Bebe and so happy she has come into my life~!
