About Shimmer
When a good friend asked me to help her find a nice show prospect I didn’t hesitate to recommend she
look at my friend Keli Gaunt’s litter. I had seen pictures of the puppies and knew immediately it was an
exceptional litter with a wonderful pedigree. I put Joan in touch with Keli and after evaluations were
done she was offered a lovely black Tri female. Joan asked me if I would be interested in buying her
together on a co-own and I didn’t hesitate to say yes. Shimmer arrived at 10 weeks of age and both Joan
and I were thrilled with her soundness, type, and confident personality. Shimmer has proven to be an
outstanding show dog, garnering some very competitive wins in her short career.
