Belle finished November 17, 2002 and is the second in her litter to finish, Ch Lockehill Careless Lillianna being the first. Belle is her dam's second champion and Lockehill's third homebred champion.  Belle finished with two Specialty Majors under Charlotte Tull and Dr Albert Bianchi.  I had quite a thrill taking Winners with both Belle and Kahlua at the Dallas Specialty where Belle began her carrier as a pup going Best in Sweeps at six months.  My thanks to Dan and Allana Hemenway for all their help along the way!

Belle is now retired and living the life of Riley along with her best buddy Lucy with Diane Rath. Belle carries on at Lockehill through her daughters Cindy and Luna shown below and through Sarah, her daughter by Ch Jade Mist New Sun Rising, ROM.

Below is Lockehill Bella Bellaluna "Luna" taking a Best Puppy at the Dallas Specialty under Breeder Judge Barbara Wright.   Allana Hemenway showed Luna to this win and also a Best Puppy under Daniel Wheatcroft the following day.   In all Luna took six Best Puppy wins and was pointed before I retired her in favor of her sister Cindy, Lockhill Justawanta Have Fun took Best Puppy under Cheryl Anderson at the Austin Specialty. Cindy has a litter by Ch Stonerhaven Samurai and is now co-owned with Dan and Allana Hemenway.

Cindy and Luna shown as teenagers below. I decided to place Luna when her topline went off after her first litter. She carries on at Lockehill throught her daughter Lockehill Bella Alexus who gave me two show prospects. One is Lockehill Stellaluna by Ch Kismet's Zarak now owned by Sherly and Danny Kendrix and Lockehill Bella Noir "Faith" by Ch Browyn Suspicious who I still own.
