AKC & INTL CH. Desagres Piedelai Cigano do Mar AWD CGC

What can I say about my buddy Eli? He's got a bit of that PWD devilish twinkle in those dark, dark eyes, but he's mostly a very, very good boy with only minimal counter-surfing. His blue-black coat falls in soft large curls and is a joy to touch. His phenomenal rear draws attention from breeders in the know, and his temperament wins over even the most jaded.

As a working dog, Eli has good working drive, but could use a bit more dedication on my part. He has earned the first two levels of PWD water titles, but our emphasis today is on agility with a little competitive obedience thrown in. Eli loves agility, but as with any PWD, you gotta have a sense of humor! At his first AKC trial, Eli had a near-perfect run, even breezing through the tire at height and also the weave poles which we could have trained more. Alas! at the last moment Eli trotted over the broad jump with an innocent grin. What could I do but laugh? What a clown.

The photo at right was taken at a water trial a few years ago. During the warm-up, a swarm of hornets flew through. Eli, being in a lion trim, was stung-up pretty badly, but twenty minutes and some Benedryl later, Eli got in the water and earned his Apprentice title a second time so I could get some pictures. We also were awarded the teammanship award that year. What a heart this guy has, I'm telling you!

Eli is a lot of dog in a small package, right at the bottom of the PWD standard--20" at the shoulder and 45 pounds--a great size to haul back into a boat. He has sired four litters (MT, OR, and two in CA) with several champion get. Inquiries for stud dog service: contact Judy Seibert at Piedelai kennel.
