Soleil du Murier de Sordeille

(F) LOF 100789
(Nouba du Pla de la Jasse x Oranthe du Murier de Sordeille)
Breeder: Guy Bonnefoy

After a long flight to France, Soleil returned to her homeland for the Club des Amis du Beauceron Nationale d'Elevage (the National Beauceron Specialty) in St. Pierre-de-Boueuf, on May 18-19, 2002. At just 12 months of age, under judges Mme Travers-Chapel (Mensurations), M. Barbier (Caractere), and M. Travers (Morphologie), Soleil received an Excellent in temperament, and an Excellent+ in conformation and will receive a Recommandée (cotation 4) pending the results of her hip evaluation. Just a week before at just 12 months and 4 days old, Soleil received her certification for pet therapy work through Therapy Dog International (TDI), being one of the youngest dogs to ever do so. I just can't express how proud I am of my little girl!

UPDATE Soleil received a rating of A/A on her hips so she is officially Recommandée!
