DIVA
Talraz Indiana ("DIVA") is from our Meg's 2005 litter to Ryan (Ch & Ir.Ch. Gallus Macracker at Kyleca JW). From the resulting litter of six bitches and four dogs, deciding which to keep proved a real headache, but Diva managed to charm her way into our hearts and lives with her big brown eyes and spirited, affectionate ways.
From a gangly leggy pup she has grown into a long, lean athletic adult with a great turn of speed and legendary ball skills - her ablity to leap head-high to take a ball from the air is breath-taking! Funny, friendly and fearless, and sound as a bell, she has proved to have the strong instinct and trainability to train for herding too, and the lessons are coming along nicely.

Diva will continue to put in appearances in the show ring from time to time, but will mainly leave that duty to her litter sister Ellie, who although she does not live with us, has proved a reliable member of our show team - see Ellie's own page for more information. In the meantime, Diva is concentrating on her herding lessons, she loves to have a job to do!

DIVA became a mum to three gorgeous babies (two girls and a boy) on 26th October 2008. PROUD FATHER was the handsome Ramsgrove Rumba (Rum). For photos see the "DIVA'S LITTER" page.
Her second (and final) litter is planned for Spring 2012. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
