Lorien waited until her sister Abby completed her championship before deciding she didn’t like to be in the backseat anymore! Finishing at the age of 13 months she went on to become well known in the dog show community not only for her wins but for her happiness in the ring. Known to her friends as the circus dog because every time she won she would rise up on her hind legs and do a pirouette as if to thank the judge. Lorien was one of the sweetest cockers I have ever bred and although she wasn’t a big girl, she proved to be mighty in the ring. She lived to 20 days short of her 17th birthday and to this day I still miss her but know she will be waiting across the Rainbow Bridge for me when it is my turn to cross.

Winning Best of Opposite at 9 years of age over much younger competition, judge Robert Cole (author of You Be The Judge series), breeder/owner handled. In the ring Mr. Cole asked me why she was grey in the muzzle and when I told him she was 9 years old, he said he couldn't believe the movement on such a wonderful girl and as he handed me the ribbon he finished by giving me a huge hug right in the ring!
