Vedette of the Gloaming, 10.1.1997-25.12.2010
Lo should be a cartoon character - that furry face with a big big smile all over tells it all. She sure was always in a good mood, always full of energy, always ready to make you laugh - actually she was always ready to do ANYTHING for you. She always gave it all and put in so much enthusiasm as just a Pyrenean Shepherd can…
She used to be terrified of almost everything as a puppy, it took me six months to get her over dog-walk because of her fear of height... And another six months to be able to put a leash on her without a panic attack. But eventually, she learned to trust me so much that she was able to forget about the rest of the world and you could never guess what a fearful puppy she was. Yeah, she might not had the best predispositions for the sport or the best structure - but she sure had a big heart…
She had been winning everything for years, she has many, many wins from many different countries, including wins in some big competitions (IMCA, EO etc.), was running in World Championships for 9 times in a row and has many great placements on WC level too, 4th place in 2005, 5th place in 2000, 2nd place (after La 🙂 ) in jumping 2003, many jumping team wins etc. to name just a few. Surfaces on WCs at that time didn't let her shine as she was slipping so much, but she sure still is one of the most successful medium dogs in the history of the sport.
