She has that gorgeous Sailor head, lovely neck, beautiful topline and has remained dead narrow.

She is a cracker in the field, a very enthusiastic worker.  I finally gave up on showing her, as she just never got over being traumatized as a young puppy when she was scooped up out of my ex-pen by some kids and nearly squeezed to death.  She did fairly well early on, with not only Puppy Championships but also a Best Working Bitch & Working Terrier Championship, but it clearly was too stressful to have a judge go over her, particularly when she had to be spanned.  So as frustrating as it was to have a bitch this nice that can't be shown, she makes up for it in the hunt field.  When she's working, she somehow forgets all about being afraid of strangers, and anyone is able to pull her out of a hole.  But in the fall of 2002, Fry went to live with Deb LaMantia of Brookside Jack Russells on a co-ownership, and seems to be making a miraculous turn-around!   Deb and I have worked hard on her all year, and she not only is now racing and going through the hole, but seems to be getting better in the ring as well.   So it just may be that she'll be our "comeback kid".........

Her first litter by Bear was extremely nice, producing a very consistent litter.  One of the bitch pups, Sow's Ear Slider, managed to place third in the huge 4-6 Month Rough Puppy Bitch class at the 2001 U.S. Nationals.....her very first show!  From that same litter, Sow's Ear White Diamonds is as nice a bitch, if not better.  And her second litter by Max seems to be nicer yet; Sow's Ear Refund did extremely well the few times he was shown, taking a Reserve 4-6 Best Puppy his first weekend out, and placing 3rd in a huge puppy class at the 2002 U.S. Nationals.  

So, with Fry's "new attitude", I'm quite looking forward to 2004.
