GEORGIA
Teresa called me one day and asked me
to look at the two puppies she and Rick had out of Cuervo and Revo. They
wondered if I might be interested in one of them. "Are you kidding?"
I half-way yelled. "I have enough dogs right now. I need
another one like I need a hole in my head, but I'll come over and look
at them, just to evaluate them."
When I pulled up in the driveway,
I saw
two look-alikes running toward me. They were both lovely, but
one....well...I thought she was just stunning. After looking
at the two, I told the Wittes which one I liked best and we had some
good-natured joshing, because Rick and Clint Livingston (who often
handles their dogs) liked the other better while I had sided with Teresa.
On way home, I kept seeing the one I
liked. That night, every time I closed my eyes, I saw her. The
next day, I called Teresa and told her that I had the perfect name
for our bitch and she was going to really like it, because it was a
song written by Teresa's grandfather!
Because I couldn't quit thinking about
her, the name was going to be Georgia on My Mind, and I'd be picking
her up that afternoon. And that is how Georgia came to our house.
She won a huge 9-12 class at the Phoenix
national. Cuervo,
her father, won BOB there, but the icing on the cake was when he also
won the Stud Dog Class with Georgia as one of his get. Georgia finished
shortly thereafter, winning BOS at the Lone Star Akita Club Specialty
and another major at the companion all-breed show that weekend.
Now, she's Ch. Sherob Stardust Georgia
On My Mind, and while her sister Dazzle (Ch. Stardust New Sensation)
has been taking care of puppies her, Georgia has been out showing. She's
won many Best of Breeds and has multiple group placements, including
some firsts.
Georgia's pedigree will open in a separate
window which you can just click to close. Below is a slide show
with some of her wins. A controller panel can be activated by
clicking on the icon with little squares. This panel has thumbnails
and can be moved out of the the photo field by positioning your
mouse over the cross, holding down the right mouse button and moving
it to a better position for viewing.
