I really have two hobbies. One is genealogy and the other--actually she
isn't a hobby--she is THE most beautiful chocolate Labrador Retriever ever!
I'm not biased or anything, you understand. It's simply the truth!! Her name
is Powers' Rusty Mist and she thinks she is royalty. Actually she really is!
She is an inside--outside if she wants to be--dog and very spoiled. But, in
truth, her background does sport some of the most impressive bloodlines in
Labradors. Her great-grandfather is even in the New Complete Book of Labrador
Retrievers on pages 112-113. His name is Ginger's Chocolate August, dual
Canadian/American field trials champion. There are pictures and references
of many of the champions in Rusty's pedigree found in this book.
Rusty was born in Yelm, Washington, on 22 December 1994. Her mother is Ebony
Espresso of Cedar Pond and her father is Sir RHR Nelson. Mother, of course,
is black. With a name like Ebony what else would she be? Father is chocolate
- but not as pretty as Rusty. W-e-l-l-l-l! Back to the biased opinion!
Rusty was one of a litter of nine puppies, six black and three chocolate. And
we got the best and most beautiful of the litter. OF COURSE!
