Matsang Lady Eostre
with Lapsang
Pet name: Holly
Breeder:
KC/BVA: Eyes: Clear
Holly was a gorgeous TT
bitch. Born in April 1996 she did well at show and produced
a couple of lovely show puppies, during her short time with
us.
Collecting Holly from the breeder is a story in itself, as
Holly came into our lives quite by chance...
We had gone to Oxford to collect Amber from the breeder and
whilst there we spotted a shy, little black TT girl, hiding
under a cupboard. We coaxed this little scrap out. She was
so cute with her big brown eyes, and delicate frame. All the
experts say 'don't buy the shy one' but this little pup had
so much appeal that we had to take her.. so we came away
with Amber (Matsang Lady Amber)... AND Holly :-)
Holly blossomed into a beautiful young bitch with so much
character and energy. Talk about the ugly duckling into the
swan...that was Holly! She was gorgeous, mischievous, cocky,
gentle, loving, playful ...She soon took over the household
;-)
A friend suggested showing her and that's when our lives
changed.
Training Holly was a dream... She was so clever and loved
the challenge. She was a natural. In the show ring you could
just read her thoughts in her face...puffing out her chest,
standing perfectly without a hint of movement and thinking
to herself "ok, you've looked at those lot, I'm the best,
look at me!!" ;-) She was just short of a couple of points
that would have qualified her for Crufts.
Holly took a break from showing and had a couple of litters.
At least three of her puppies went on to be show dogs in
their own right (Lapsang Storm Master, Lapsang Haunter). One
of them qualifying for Crufts (Lapsang Haunter) . Another
went into Theatre work as a 'dog actor', and one became a
P.A.T dog.
We sadly lost Holly in 2002 when she became very ill during
a pregnancy and passed away with her babies.
