Malibu is our keeper puppy from the Sailor x Elara litter born in June 2020. She has incredible bird drive in the field, LOVES to be a show dog and has the best temperament, goes along with what ever you ask her to do, just like her sire Sailor. But she has enough quirks to make sure life is never dull.
Malibu lives with her dad Sailor and is being fostered by the Loney's.
Malibu, (Mali for short) attended an ABI (All Breed International) show the day she turned 3 months old and by the end of the weekend she was a show dog! She also took home a Best Baby Puppy in Show and Reserve Best Baby Puppy in Show. Mali attended another ABI show November 21st/22nd 2020 and won Best Baby Puppy in Group at all 6 shows, she was also awarded 3 Reserve Best Baby Puppy in Show, and 2 Best Baby Puppy in Show.
At the last ABI show of the year Mali took home her 5th Reserve Baby Puppy and her 4th Best Baby Puppy in Show.
Mali has been showing in the CKC shows since August 2021 and has several Reserve winners bitch wins under her collar, she picked up her first official point at the St Catharines KC show mid August. Mali achieved her first CKC title on October 3rd at the Vizsla Canada field test. There she showed her natural hunting ability and earned her final 2 passes with scores of 92 and 95. These followed her first score of 98 earned at the Brittany Spaniel Club field test the weekend before. Cole handled Mali in the field for her first pass and they did a great job together.
In September Mali attended her first Sprinter trials where she ran her way to a Novice Sprinter title in 4 runs, and is now working on her next level.
Mali went back into the show ring in December 2021 where she picked up her second point at the Brantford and District KC show. Then at her first 2022 show she made an impact by going Winners bitch/Best of Winners/Best of Opposite Sex over Champions for 3 points, and then Winners bitch/Best of Winners/Best of Breed over Champions another day for 2 more points at the Woodstock and District KC show in February. Mali is maturing nicely and is now only 1 point away from her CKC championship.
In July 2022 we attended a UKC show for the first time since 2019. Mali was a star and was awarded Group 1 and Best in Show her first time in the UKC ring! She also earned a group 2, 3 and 4 the rest of the weekend and is now more than half way to her UKC Championship. Mali is our 3rd generation home bred dog to win a UKC BIS. Her dad Sailor won a BIS when he was about 2 years old, and her grandmother Xena won the first BIS we ever received. Her mother Elara has also won a UKC BIS.
Mali finished her CKC Championship at the Barrie Kennel and Obedience Club show in Orillia Civic Holiday weekend. She earned a nice 3 points by going Winner Bitch with a large entry. She also picked up Grand Champion points by going Select Bitch once after moving up to a Special.
Mali finished her next sprinter title, Sprinter, in October, and also picked up a few more points for her Grand Championship; including a nice 3 point Best of Opposite Sex at the Limited Sporting Breed show at the Trillium Dog Fanciers show October 29th. Mali earned another couple points at the Aurora and District Kennel Club show in Mississauga, where she was Best of Opposite sex at the Vizsla Canada booster. A week later at the Caledon Kennel Association Mali finished her Grand Championship by going Select twice.
Mali was bred to Oberon (CKC Ch AKC GrCh Shikari Captain of our Fairy Band MH) from Massachusetts. Obie is a new Canadian Champion, finishing in 2 weekends while up here for his visit. He also has his American Grand Championship and his Master Hunter (equivalent to the CKC FDX). 3 males and 3 females were born January 30th. We are expecting puppies with fantastic temperaments and the ability to work in any sport. These puppies have been reserved.
