HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thank you Judge Dr. Klaus Anselm

Today is the beginning of a new year, with new hopes, new challenges, new loves, new friendships, new blessings and so much more.

While I am still dealing with the pain and limitations of having a back injury, I am optimistic there will come a day I am pain free again.

2010 was a great year for Bellatak Havanese, as so many wonderful things have happened. The biggest news if that GCH Bellatak McDreamy, owned by our dear friends, John Oakes, his wife Carole Shea, Jane Samson, and Tom and I, finished the year as the #1 All Breed Havanese. Dreamer is exclusively presented and handled by David Murray. David and Dreamer are a team and the relationship they have together shows in the ring!

Dreamer is the ONLY Havanese in 2010 to be awarded with 2 Best In Shows! Dreamer exudes breed type for a Havanese. He is structurally correct, has correct coat type as well as very black pigment. His coat is naturally a very crisp white and shiny black that doesn't need to be overly groomed for it to be beautiful and correct. His topline has the essential "slight" rise, not appearing like a ski slope which is incorrect. What helps set Dreamer apart though is the same movement his half sister Vallee, CH Bellatak My Funny Valentine, has and his temperament that is special to a Havanese. Needless to say we are all very proud of Dreamer.

Life is good and Tom and I are blessed in so many ways.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!
