We became aware of the availability of Cele as we were taking Zandra to California for a breeding to Lisa Cole's Ch. Sterling Lionheart.  We determined that the opportunity to reunite Cele with her littermate brother, Hawk, was too great an opportunity to pass up, so when we returned from Zandra's breeding, Cele came with us.

Celebration finished her championship in seven shows, taking three majors in one weekend at the Hound Classic, Shoreline Kennel Club, and Long Beach Kennel Club, where she won Best of Breed from the classes over a number of noted specials.

Cele is a large girl, 30 ½" tall, with a beautiful long head, full dentition, scissors bite, and outstanding tail carriage.  She possesses the same ground covering sidegait for which her sire, Ch. Mariza Rising Star Forever, was legendary.

An exciting breeding for Celebration is being planned for the summer of 2002.  Watch for litter announcements.  Inquiries are invited.

We are grateful to Lucy Doheny, Eldomar Kennels, for allowing Celebration to be reunited with her brother and to become a part of the Hounds of Dashadon.
