Good things are both worth waiting for and come in small packages, too!

Kristen and I have been sitting on our little Ice Queen, who has been growing up and establishing her rule. Soon, we will be bringing her out at shows and lure trials, now that our half-Aussie bitch, Delta is nearly finished and my other half-Bluestreak, the lovely Tabitha, is permanently retired from showing due to an injury :( . We don't know what the US judges will make of her, but we don't care. She's one of our favorite homebreds already, and rules her small kingdom like the frosty queen she was born to be!

She is out of my Bluestreak Belle Du Jour FCh. OTRM CR TRP (Eng. Ch. Barmoll Beaujolais at Teisenlap x Bluestreak Belle Epoque) and my own male, Dual Ch. Surrey Hill's Pep Talk. AT 18 3/4" and 25 pounds, she is a bitch we expect will send people diving for their catalogs at ringside :blink: to see who she is.

This is her photoshoot from today--she is 15 months old. We invite you to meet Surrey Hill Ice Queen of Mariner...

I hope that someday she will have a few brags to share. :teehee: I am thrilled to have a lavender brindle to show over here again after a number of years without one.

:luck: with her show carrer

That is absolute perfection for me :)

That about what I am hoping my Claudia will end up, she is only just smidgen under 18" at this moment, just turned 6 months few days ago.
 
very nice Karen :cheers:
 
:thumbsup: stunning dog, lovely colour, she would blend in well with my living room colour scheme!!
 
Karen and Kristen she's turned out absoultey beautiful!!!

We will be debuting her at shows pretty soon, and we hope she likes shows. One thing about Inga is that you can't make her do anything she doesn't want to do. :lol: So far, we can confirm she enjoys lying around on enormous piles of fluff, and she also likes lure coursing (in good weather).

We hope that we can convince her that showing is also a pleasant way to spend part of her day. Huge hunks of sausage will probably be required.

She also likes staying nice and warm. Karen, you have to post that picture of Inga in her fleece and wool finery!

Very nice young lady,lots of luck with her! :luck: :thumbsup:

One thing has got me curious though,so I hope you don't mind me asking this question? Do you have different names for colors over there compared to the UK? As you have called her lavender brindle...a beautiful description of the color but one I have never heard of before? I only ask this as I too have a bitch of the same color but would call her fawn brindle and I must say your color name sounds so much more exotic!! :D
 
Very pretty bitch, good luck with her. :huggles: :wub:

She is officially registered here as a blue brindle with white. Our fawn brindle would refer to the actual yellow/tan fawn. Lavender brindle sounds so much better and is a more true representation of her actual color for descriptive purposes. :wub:

Yes, it seems we have a very different color terminology than you do in the UK, and this has just about everything to do with our having had a standard so long which penalizes blue dilution to some extent.

A fawn brindle here would have black stripes and a golden or dun or yellow base coat.

A red or orange brindle is red or orange with black stripes.

Some people even break it down further and it is kind of recognized over here that black brindle and charcoal brindle are what you call fawn brindles who have more stripes than fawn areas. If the stripes are thick and heavy and run into each other, they're a black brindle, and if they are more pencilled and thinner in effect, it's a charcoal brindle (because it looks like they were colored in with a charcoal pencil instead of a heavy stroke of black ink.

The silver brindle is the dilute of a paler or lighter golden fawn brindle, the lavender brindle is the dilute of a very dark buckskin or deep Butterscotch (not sure if that's a color you would recognize as it might be an American confection) fawn brindle, the rose brindle is the dilute of an orange or a lighter red and white, and the blue brindle is the dilute of a dark red or mahogany brindle.

Most Americans probably don't make as many distinctions as I do, though. I like to be very descriptive of the colors. We call our English Mabel a blue fawn, while the sire of Inga is a blue brindle.

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I'm being consistent with my own descriptive criteria where Inga is concerned as she may not be the dilute of a dark fawn brindle at all, and thus should be called a rose brindle per my criteria. It won't be possible to know this for sure (because the dilutes tend to overlap in this color range) unless and until we breed her to a fawn or fawn brindle dog and see if we get anything red or orange in tinge in the litter. If I had to really guess, I would say she's the dilute of the color of Mossbawnwhill She's Eleqtric at Salatini, to name a bitch that has been pictured here recently and which I judged in the flesh.

Here, we might call that an Apricot Brindle :wacko: just to be grandiose about it since she's not terribly orangey, but technically, she's an orange brindle for here.

Do not even ask Kristen about her color descriptions :- " , as she insists on calling her other puppy from me, Butters, a "Lemon Chiffon".

:teehee:

Thanks for that Karen...it is just interesting to see different people's take on different colors and how they see them and describe them. And yes,we do have butterscotch over here too! It is yummy!! :D I for one would definitely say that She's Electric is orange brindle as to me she looks very orangey but yet you describe her as not so orangey...so I think it is all in the eye of the beholder really, although she has been described in critiques as "Tiger brindle" :blink: I think her and her brother Better Man were the only two that remained the same color that I registered them with! :lol: He is a red brindle,and I have now learnt to overcome that particular hurdle by registering them all as either just brindle parti's or brindle with trims!!! :lol: :teehee: :p

By the way...I love the description "Lemon Chiffon",it sounds sooo refined! :thumbsup: :D
 
She is a very lovely girl Karen :wub:

Hope you have lots of fun with her in the showring :luck:
