BIF Avalon Victorian Pyre, CGC, RN, GRC, RTD, SC
Py comes from Sandra Moore (Avalon), and we can never thank her enough for entrusting this incredible dog to us. He has the most outstanding temperament we've encountered in a long time, a wonderful build, terrific sense of humor, and tremendous speed and agility. Py's monsterous, ground-eating stride allowed him to finish his GRC (in just 4 days, with 3 firsts) and his SC with all placements (including 2 BOB's and 1 BIF).
Py is CH, FC (both majors), FCh (all placements, needs 1 more point to finish), OFC, RA, and SGRC pointed. His first full weekend of agility brought home two first-place ribbons; his premier OFC event brought home a placement and points. Beauty AND brains - we can't say enough wonderful things about the "golden boy."

While Py is unmistakably "murder" on rabbits, he is complete trusted with our indoor-cat.
Here he takes a siesta and shares the master bed (Feb 07).
Shown here 3 days after finishing his GRC (age 29 mos.) with best pal Joan. (June 07)
Feb 2006 (age 13 mos.) going BOW both days for his first points.
Py is beautifully handled by Joan Garth of Charlbury Hounds.
Though Py's not just another pretty face, we will confess that we love his head - and his brain and his heart... Here he keeps his eyes peeled for Mr. Jack, because "we shall meet again."
Future Plans
In 2007 Py competed in lure coursing, straight-racing, agility, rally, and OFC - bringing home points, placements, or titles in every venue! He's also a working Therapy dog - mere words simply can not do this dog justice. His 2008 dance-card includes lure coursing, oval and straight racing, rally, and possibly agility and OFC. We may return to conformation in 2009.
Py is 31-7/8" tall, 85#, full dentition, scissor bite, black pigmentation, incredible muscling, sound and balanced. His type is exceptional: short back, long loin, and terrific angulation. Click to see Py's pedigree and health clearances.
