(IMP BEL)
Dam: Goldmali Fabulous
Breeder: Marianne Brett
Hips: 2/2
Elbows 1/0 Eyes tested clear 23/10 2022
3 CCs and 8 RCCs. BEST
OF BREED CRUFTS 2022.
RBCC Crufts 2020 & 2024 (there
was no Crufts in 2021, Bambi not shown there in 2023)
Bambi is from two CC winning parents - Mats
and Rona. (Both have also won multiple RCCs including at
Crufts, as did Bambi in 2020.)
She's from a mating I had wanted to do for a long time,
and I'm very pleased with the result.
Bambi is 50 % Belgian blood, 25 % Dutch and 25 % UK.
Her names (pet name and KC name) are direct
references to her great granny Ripley. I wanted to call Ripley
Bambi originally,
but as I had Dandy at the same time it sounded too similar.
"Over the Rainbow" is of course after the song, and every time
I see a rainbow I say "hello Rip",
taking it as a sign from Ripley at the Rainbow Bridge.
In 2022 Bambi did what her great granny Ripley
did in 2010; won Best of Breed at Crufts. She then took her
third CC in July 2022.
Our first HOME BRED Champion. 17 years of hard work!
