Garance
DU DOMAINE DU VIEUX PATRE
Garance will be certainly the bitch which began the kennel of the Vallées
Engissoises. The Big Mother. A sensational bitch, not really for her beauty
but for her interesting character and her intelligence. Physically, more I
progressed in my search of perfection and more I knew what I wanted in Skyes
terrier’s type, more I realize that garance was very far of this type but it
was not really the most important, she was my bitch. Our meeting has been
such notice. She has been promise to us the day of her born. In the past, we
were young, and we accepted from friends a lot of things. Friends were
always important and we believe all what they said, but with time we learned
that we can’t have friends in the Dog’s world. It was a blond doll,
sensational, the eight marvelous thing of the world, they said. But a very
family serious obliged us to take back our engagement. The life has followed
and we decided to visit our friends in the south of France, Amar and
Françoise for the Week End, a trap in reality. A trap organized by our
friends, in a very intelligent way, the worst trap of my life. When we
arrived, tired, after 7 hours of car, 4 very nervous young children – Maeva
was 14 months- , we have seen this little bowl in the middle of the dinning
room looking at us but we didn’t want to see her. But who can say that he
can fall in love a baby dog? We were strong, decided and spent a nice
evening, during all this evening, Garance was in the middle of the
conversations, we put her in static, try to develop her neck, however can
say it now, her neck has never been excellent. We went to bed finally.
Curiously they let the baby to sleep with us. The morning after, she was
sleeping between Philippe and I. Philippe looked at me, and I realized, I
had lost the party. Garance will be our dog. I never regret my choice. She
became the more titled bitch of the year 1994 in France. She gave me 4
beautiful children, she was in love for them but she never had milk, a hard
work for me, each time, but we accepted. The life with her has been
marvelous, without problem, everybody respected her, she made them
understand that she will stay the boss, in every case. She was very strong
when she decided something and she hated cats… I didn’t like them too and I
confess that she was very useful. She was hidden in the garden, looking at
them and suddenly she jumped… I laughed a lot with her, it was a sort of
game. Oh I know it’s not really funny but it was so funny to see Garance
when she came back, very proud of her she seemed to say : “ one more who
never come back, I told him…” She didn’t hurt them, she frightened them
only… Garance was always in action, she was fond of the life, she was always
happy to live, she spent her life at 350%… This morning, as she was 11, she
jump at me to kiss me. I left the house to go to work, I gave her a smile, a
kiss and said like every morning “see you tonight, my little old woman”, and
I left home. I spent a nice day, a lot of work, a lot of people to see, but
when I went in car to go home, the phone rang, it was my husband. I received
a big bump of dagger in my heart, it was very hard, I think I knew what he
wanted to say “Nath, it’s Garance”. I thought I was going to fell down, my
body was so fragile, it was no possible, not her, she was eternal, she was
in good health this morning, I started to cry, why did she do that to me?
When I arrived at home, she was there, she was wonderful, quiet with a
lovely expression of peace on her face. She died during her sleep. What a
lovely exit… Congratulation, my love, you made a real success with your
death like you did with your life…She died one month day for day before her
son, Lloyd Cole. My Loulouti, like we used to call her, a fine presence,
like I can wish for all dogs who wants to be shown… A great, Great bitch,
really…
NB :
One day, a Skye breeder, said me in Paris, after an important show during
which the judge said me hard things about my bitch “oh, you know, if I was
the judge, I could be more hard with you because your bitch is rubbish” I
never forgot this man, his hard reaction but I complained him, he didn’t
realize the real value of Garance, physically she was not a top bitch but
she was more than that inside, he didn’t have the luck to know her really,
she was not rubbish, she was not perfect but I hope for him to have one day
in his life a so rich dog as her… a statue dog, perfect physically for shows
is not enough, you need a presence, this little thing who makes the public’s
heart beating….
