fond of dog shows.

Her greatest achievement in the show ring, was when she went Best In Show
at the Swedish Greyhound Club Specialty in 1995, under Kjell Carnbrand, Sweden. (photo)
In the litter box Cilla really feels at home - she has had two litters
and she is a wonderful mother with a lovely temperament.
She also had to act as a foster mother, for a while, for her grandchildren, when her daughter Nellie, was taken seriously ill, and couldn't tend her puppies (May 2002). (photo)
