| UKC-CH Isdalur's Carrie |
| A Prayer for Carrie When Linda Gray,DVM one of our veterinarians, met Carrie her first day in the United States, she quietly whispered this German Child's prayer into Carrie's ear - it was so sweet we had to include it on her page Ich bin klein mein Herz is rein soll niemand drin wohnen als Jesus allein I am small My heart is Pure no one can come in but Jesus alone |
Carrie comes to us from Isdalur Icelandic Sheepdogs in
Obrigheim-Muhlheim, Germany. She is the product of all
my favorite kennels, Thordunu, Kersins, Surtsey, Fra
Thytur Stadir and a few new ones too. We are very
grateful to Eveline Schutz for sending her favorite puppy
from Drifa's first litter our way.
Carrie brings some new genetics into the United States
from her sire Axjon Charme of Iceland, who is from Dutch,
Danish and Norwegian lines that have little representation
here in the United States. That he closely resembles our
Kaffi in black instead of brown was the clincher in our
interest in this lovely little girl. Her dam, Thordunu Nordan
Drifa, is a member of the rare "O" line but more importantly
she is a rich deep clear coated Red. A color that is rarely
seen in the Icelandic Sheepdog these days, we hope to
build on preserving this color with Carrie. Carrie eyes
have been tested for inherited disease and have been
found to be normal, her hips have been rated OFA
Excellent - free of Hip dysplasia.
We are delighted to have her as part of the family. As a
pup she attended Dog shows with us as a spectator and
had a fan club everywhere we went. She is enjoyed
meeting all the other dogs and people, was not the least
bit shy. She was able to compete in a puppy fun match
recently and we were told by those ringside she was the
best gaiting dog around the ring and was definitely the
happiest puppy in exhibition!
At just a few weeks shy of her first birthday, in May of
2010, Carrie earned her UKC championship at 11 months
of age. At just a few weeks after her first Birthday she
became the very first Icelandic Sheepdog Bitch to earn a
Best of Opposite Sex award in the AKC on July 2, 2010.
Carrie currently has a 4 point major and points towards her
AKC championship. What a great start for a wonderful
little girl.
