                        Our uncrowned champion.Storm now 8 years young

                 

Storm came into our lives in January 2000 she was a whirlwind, We cannot thank Elaine Norton enough for letting us have her, she has done us proud even before having her litter. She is such a wonderful lady and keeps all in check here.

Storm was Top Puppy bitch 2000 after gaining 13 champ show wins, had her junior warrant at 11 mths and a RCC just into junior. Storm won many BIS and RBIS awards at general open shows and a breed club BIS. She won £300 in total in stakes classes which is brilliant after the piece of card you usually get. LOL

She qualified for the junior warrant semi final at Earls Court in London and after making the cut down to the last 10 for the final was pulled out in the last 4 which was quite an achievement for a stafford against over 100 other qualifiers from all breeds. What a day that was.

Michael Quinney said of her ( He judged the semi-final and made a cut of 10) :- Still immature but she was full of quality and breed type, she moved positively fore and aft. Superb muscle and immaculate condition.

Ferelith Sommerfield judged the final  and cut her down to the last 4. A day we wont forget.

She always suffered from a phantom pregnancy after every season so the amount of time that we could show her was limited and suddenly decided she hated showing so she was retired in 2002.

We struggled for a long time, 12 mths in fact, to find a suitable mate for her and after looking at a young dog at East Anglia, who later become a champion, Ch Tornadostorm the Legacy, we decided he would be the one when the time was right.

She had 6 stunning puppies, with no problem in November 2002 and was a brilliant mum.

Duke - Ch Stormpike Dark Lord - 19 CC' S , 12 RCC'S , 14 BOB, Groups 2,3 & 4.
