Ch. Kincardine Catch the Fire H.T.

"Karen"

(Ch. Kincardine Kindle the Fire "Cody" X Kincardine Charisma at Darcana)

 

Karen was a puppy back for us and when she arrived at our home at 8 weeks, she walked out of her crate and into my daughter, Erin's heart.

Although we have no descendants to carry on her extraordinary personality of love and loyalty, we will never forget this special girl. Karen is the smartest dog we have ever encountered. She is a true problem solver and could open any door.

Karen is also only our second dog to earn her herding instinct degree on her first exposure to sheep. It was truly a thrill to watch Karen recognize, turn on and work those sheep. I wonder if that strong herding instinct is linked to her extraordinary problem solving ability?

Karen was born June 30, 1989, and although a little deaf and a lot more subdued, she is still our beloved housedog. Her coat is still a bright clear red - part of her genetic heritage through her grandsire, Am. Ch. Benayr Here Comes Trouble.
