Charlize was a singleton puppy, born on Krystyl's 18th birthday - needless to say, she is spoiled!  We started out slow with Charlize and now we are going even slower.  Charlize got loose while at the 2006 AWC National in Kansas, she ran through very busy intersections and 8 lane roads but was thankfully caught by the police about 15 minutes later over a mile down the road from the host hotel.  She still had her leash on and I wouldn't want to think of how many close calls she had.  When we took her out of the animal control truck, she was in shock and her eyes were glazed over - had no idea who anyone was or where she was.  She finally 'came to' about 10 minutes later and she started to recognize us.  She suffered no injuries other than some bloody toenails from running on the pavement.  She has cooped incredibly well and developed some 'quirks' since then, but is no longer timid of noises as she once was and will get into the ring some more this year!  Charlize is our little miracle child and keeps us entertained ALL day long.
