KARA

Knecht Fra Katriona 10.08.88 - 11.09.02

Perihelia's Resolution v Fra Hyzenflae of Knecht

We got Kara as an 8 week old puppy in 1988 and having little knowledge or experience of training a dog we decided that it would be wise to seek advice on how to train our dog. We were put in touch with Yvonne Walker who held training classes for Dobermanns at that time. Yvonne's classes provided a relaxed atmosphere which we felt put us and our dog at ease. We found the classes to be very helpful and good fun and we felt that the group provided support and encouragement for each other. As a result of this we made many friends and continued to attend the classes for several years.

As well as teaching obedience, Yvonne also taught many of her members how to show their dogs. We had never considered entering Kara in the show ring before, but with Yvonne's encouragement we decided to give it a go. We were very proud of Kara's success in the show ring, being placed 1st on numerous occasions at open shows and placed 5 times at SKC and Scottish Dobermann Club Championship shows between 1989-1994. She was also placed reserve Dobermann of the Year in her class in 1990. Kara also performed well within the obedience ring, coming 1st in 1994 at the Scottish Dobermann Club Show.

Kara was a loyal and loving dog with an excellent temperament, great fun to be with and she is greatly missed. We thank Yvonne for all her time, patience and encouragement over the years and helping us to bring out the best in our dog.
