Annie's Song
 |
Annie flew in from Sacramento in 1988. She'd never seen rain and didn't like to get her hair wet. | |||
 |
Annie had the softest expression and attracted the attention of passers-by at every show. She's only one year old in this shot. | |||
 |
Somethin's followin' me! Annie had this little TAIL problem. Not only was it way too long, the extra was white, and the inch-wide white streak up her rear only emphasized it more. And because she had a ton of bone, it was FAT like a BAT! Two judges told us that all they could see was her tail, so it was re-docked in 1989. |

Eli & Ann at the Puget Sound Specialty in 1990. Soon after re-docking her tail, Annie won her class at the WVESSA specialty, and then was Winner's Bitch to her brother Eli's, (Ch Dalin's Silverhill Straight Up), Winner's Dog and Best of Breed at Puget. Eli won that show five more times in the next six years. Annie came back to win the Veteran Sweepstakes in 1999. |

 |
Annie roared out of retirement at the 1995 San Jose National where she went Best Veteran in Sweepstakes over many OUTSTANDING older girls! | |||
|
These litter mates had a little reunion in 1997 at the Puget Sound
Specialty (age 9). Prince was Winner's Dog in 1989. Eli and Annie were Winners in 1990, and Eli was Best of Specialty Show in 1990, 91, 92, 94, 95, and 96. Eli's kids won it in 1998 and 1999 and again in 2003. |

Annie still looked good at age 11 at the National Specialty in Portland OR. |
