"For Brains and Beauty"

Fern is a very sweet natured girl, who loves everyone, particularly if they are prepared to throw a ball for her. I guarantee you will give up before she does. Fern loves comfort and is most at home curled up on the sofa, preferably with you stroking her. She welcomes everyone into her home even when she has a litter of puppies.

Fern had her first litter in December 2006. She made a fabulous Mum who spent every moment she could with her babies. The father of this litter was our Wizard. The offspring all went to pet homes where they have all turned out to have stunning temperaments but no couch potatoes.

Our many thanks to Pearl and Mark Palser, who loaned us Chico (Jupavia First Image) from this litter to show. At his first show at Richmond Championship Show in September 2007 he was placed 3rd and qualified for Crufts 2008. At Crufts Chico was placed 5th in a strong Special Junior class. Well done Chico !!

Fern has been shown and gained her studbook number by winning Limit under Penny Foster Cooper (a breed specialist) in October 2006. She has had many wins during her showing career, including; Minor Puppy (when she won Best Puppy In Breed); Puppy, Junior; Yearling, Post Graduate and Limit, all at Championship Show Level. Fern has struggled to get a full coat back after having her first litter and has been concentrating on agility training. Fern is highly motivated and driven in her agility work and will be competing for the first time this year (after maternal duties). We have very high hopes for her.

Fern finds the breed ring very boring and comes alive when she is asked to use her brain in agility. Although Fern will be shown occasionally her future now lies with Agility.

Fern's litter from 2008 has really excelled themselves. Three of them (Jupavia May be Dreaming (Evie), Jupavia Prince of Thieves (Alfie), and Jupavia Catch my Dream (Merlin)) have all qualified for Crufts 2010. Also Jupavia Magic Dreams (Ralph) is doing really well in his obedience training. Evie is coming on a treat in Agility and Flyball training. All in all a fabulous litter.
