When we decided Pincie Creek was ready for a new addition, I again
contacted my friend Jane Harrell. She had sent me such a treasure in
Rowdy, I knew she'd do her best to send me another really nice
Aussie. I was in luck -- she'd just bred her bitch Lacey to Debbie
St. Jacques' Bear. And soon we welcomed a sweet little girl whose
sauciness and zest for life reminded me of another Southern belle,
for whom she was named. With her presence and personality, it was
evident to everyone who saw her that Scarlet had "class". A gorgeous
rich red tri with white and bright copper trim, Scarlet had good
bone, good conformation, was a very typey bitch, very feminine, good
front and rear, nice movement, scissors bite, OFA pre-lim Good, eyes
CERF cleared 4-95. Scarlet's
pedigree speaks for itself; she came from some of the best known
bloodlines in the country, both conformation and working.
The
only way to describe Scarlet's personality is "delightful". She was
fun to be around. Quiet and always well behaved, she could be a bit
mischievous at times. When she was five months old, we took her to
Texas to her very first conformation show. She had a ball!! It was
obvious that Scarlet loved traveling with the other dogs, and was so
excited about seeing new places and people. She was a perfect lady
the whole time and also was Best Opposite Sex Puppy both days at the
show!!
We acquired Scarlet from Jane hoping for a versatility prospect,
and she exceeded our expectations. At the age of seven months we
introduced her to stock (goats) and we were amazed - she was one red
hot working machine!! She wanted to work in close (as most young
dogs do) and never quit - she would work all day long if we let her.
Scarlet had plenty of grit and showed not the least bit of fear -
when challenged she went right in and hit heads. If she happened to
take a little hit she got up and came right back in without
hesitation. In fact, it made her mad and she was more determined
than ever to work those goats!! She was a natural fetch dog and hit
heels and heads equally well. She was also a little hard-headed but
very trainable. She listened - she just didn't want to quit
sometimes and liked to do things her way - but we didn't mind that.
In order to pursue her conformation and obedience careers,
Scarlet moved to the midwest in 1998 and quickly obtained two ASCA
conformation majors. Always a very intelligent girl, Scarlet caught
on to obedience very quickly and was well on her way to competition
when tragedy struck. Sometime during the summer of 1999 Scarlet met
an untimely, tragic, and mysterious death at the home of her
handler. Rest well, Scarlet, you were a "good girl".
