The story of Miss France
[read below the picture]

She was a sad-looking, rather chubby, not very attractive puppy who never wanted to play with her sisters. No one wanted to take her home. When she was still with us at age 4 months, we decided, “Well, O.K., we’ll just keep her.” I have never seen a young dog change so quickly and in such a radical way. At 5 months of age, she turned into a very pretty little Italian Greyhound, quite dignified, and even a bit of a snob.

We entered her at the Italian Greyhound Club Championship Show in France in the Junior Class. Up to the date of the show, “Mademoiselle” obstinately refused to walk correctly on a leash, but on the Very Important Day, you would have thought our “Miss” had been born walking on a leash!
She began the day by brilliantly winning her class. And that evening, our day came to a culmination with the judging for Best in Show. She entered the ring with her head held high, a born “show dog”, strutting her stuff for all to admire… The judges were unable to resist – at the tender young age of six months, Miss France was named Best in Show at the Club Championship Show!

Since then, our star has gone on to many other wins – Champion of France, Monaco, Germany, and International Champion. She has won Best in Show 3 times, Reserve Best in show twice, 7 Best in Group, and currently has been awarded more than 50 CACIBs.

We have had wonderful, emotion-filled moments with her in the show ring. It is always a delight to take her into the Main Ring at the end of the show day. This year, she will take a well-deserved holiday from the show ring and become a mother-at-home. I sincerely hope every dog lover may someday have the pleasure of owning such a fantastic “ugly duckling”!
