Belle finished November 17, 2002 and is the second in her litter to finish, Ch Lockehill Careless Lillianna being the first. Belle is her dam's second champion and Lockehill's third homebred champion. Belle finished with two Specialty Majors under Charlotte Tull and Dr Albert Bianchi. I had quite a thrill taking Winners with both Belle and Kahlua at the Dallas Specialty where Belle began her carrier as a pup going Best in Sweeps at six months. My thanks to Dan and Allana Hemenway for all their help along the way!
Belle is now retired and living the life of Riley along with her best buddy Lucy with Diane Rath. Belle carries on at Lockehill through her daughters Lockehill Bella Bellaluna shown below and through Sarah, her daughter by Ch Jade Mist New Sun Rising, ROM whose daughter Sierra is now Ch Prairie Atwater Spring and is the eighth champion bred by Lockehill.

Below is Lockehill Bella Bellaluna "Luna" taking a Best Puppy at the Dallas Specialty under Breeder Judge Barbara Wright. Allana Hemenway showed Luna to this win and also a Best Puppy under Daniel Wheatcroft the following day. In all Luna took six Best Puppy wins and was pointed before I retired her in favor of her sister Cindy, who had the better body, Lockhill Justawanta Have Fun took Best Puppy under Cheryl Anderson at the Austin Specialty. Cindy however had a penchant for producing size and is now retired and does not carry on. Luna however, does carry on through her grand daughter Lockehill Stellaluna who produced the beautiful Lockehill Tis Serendipity "Wendy" a blue just starting her show carrier.
I decided to place Luna when her topline went off after her first litter. She carries on at Lockehill throught her daughter Lockehill Bella Alexus dam of Lockehill Stellaluna (bi-black below) by Ch Kismet's Zarak now owned by Sheryl and Danny Kendrick and Stella's daughter Lockehill Tis Serendipity "Wendy" my first blue shown below. Wendy took Best in Sweepstates her first time out under Kathy Sheets and her first point at her next outing at Corpus Christi.
November 09 Wendy went back on co-ownership with Danny and Sheryl and picked up her second point in stiff competiton her first time with Sheryl at Cen-Tex. Their next time out at Glen Rose, Sheryl picked up Wendy's first major! At Ft. Bend show, Sheryl picked up another 2points and a BOB from the bred-by class. Three outings and half way to completing Wendy's championship, I am impressed.
