CH KILBOURNE MELISSA TO LADYGROVE

d.o.b. 22/6/1997

Missy was my first deerhound from Glenis and Mick, I got her at 6 months old so I didn’t have to wait long to get her out in the show ring and have some fun. She was not the easiest dog to show and would always fidget when standing, but her movement was beautiful and this seemed to be appreciated by the judges who gave her many firsts and RCCs.
After going back to Kilbourne for a litter she needed a bit of time to get back in shape and look her best after rearing 12 pups.
A few months later she was back in the ring looking good and won 3 CCs in succession to gain her title. I was over the moon at making up my first Champion, but knew that Ghost her daughter would have a hard act to follow.
Missy was a nut case as a youngster, she would run on the moors with the pointers and soon copied them, going on point when they did, scenting a bird in the heather. She would wait for the pointers to flush the birds, then set off full speed to try and catch the flying birds, this was her favourite game, she loved to chase and had endless amounts of energy
In her later years she calmed down and became a real gentle girl, she loved our family outings exploring new places with a big smile on her face. We miss her very much but the legacy she left means we shall never forget her.
