We couldn't be more excited about this girl. Brook has far exceeded our expectations. Brook achieved her JH title in 2003 in 4 straight hunt tests handled by David and I put her CGC on her that same year. On September 11, 2004 I handled her to her championship. My first champion! It was a day I shall never forget. She needed a major, this show was a major and she and I talked before the show and I just asked her to please show her heart out for me and tell the judge you want this win and my goodness when the judge pointed to us for the 4 pt major I was overwhelmed with emotion! Brook did everything I asked of her.

Brook has been relaxing now while Journey (my dane) was in the ring. I brought her out twice as a special and saddly...she didn't do anything but she LOVED being back out in the ring as she loves attention. She will sit out for a spell again while I work on finishing our little Ray Ray and then I plan on trying a new ring with Brook....the rally ring. Brook is so eager to please that I think together we can do this. So once again...we shall learn together and see what happens!

We are extremely fortunate to have found a wonderful breeder/mentor turned good friend in Tammy (& John *smile*) Albee of Corwyn Pointers.

Name Game: Tammy gives her litters "theme names" and Z's puppies names are all related to fire since this litter was to produce either orange/white or lemon/white (which all her pups were orange/white). We chose her registered name as Wildfire. There is a song about a horse that ran away whose name was Wildfire and I always had a fondness for horses and the name fit with the theme so she is Corwyn's Wildfire. Her call name was a bit harder to obtain. This was a decision for my husband to make as she is a companion for him and the boys. David was against any "girlie human names" and he wanted something with a meaning.

Since her mother is named after the famous artist, Paul Cezanne, he did a little research on the internet and found a painting he liked that Cezanne did. It is entitled "Brook" (see below). It is one of Cezanne's more famous renderings. And that is how Brook got her name!
