Meet the delightful Ave!

- Ave at 6 months -- her first
herding lesson (Brigand's Hide Out, Battle Ground WA)
..... No, not
like "Ave Maria". It's short for Avefaro -- Ave,
meaing "bird". Ave is an extremely sweet-tempered girl--probably the
sweetest pup that I've ever encountered. She is a strong
retriever and extremely bright. She absolute delights in pleasing me
and making me laugh--and she does make me laugh every single day!
There's no other words--she's simply lovely and delightful.
Born on October 4, 2007, Ave is a
fourth-generation Ariosa pup co-bred by Ariosa and the Avefaro
kennels, with assistance from the Concurrido kennel in Finland.
Ave is named for her maternal great-grandmother "Dama (del
Bolanio)", and a wonderful friend and training mentor who
recently passed away from colon cancer, "Danielle (Whall)"

This was the first moment I suspected she might be "the one".
