Cora (from the Spanish word corazón, which means "heart") was the first baby ever born to Sunnie, on June 12, 2001. She immediately captured my heart ~ I just had to keep her!

Cora is a bi-black/gray sable, with good structure and movement, and her Mama's  sweet nature and exceptional disposition.  By four years of age, Cora was a large, formidable girl, standing 28" at the withers, and weighing in at around 120 pounds.  She is sweet, loving and loyal --- and occasionally stubborn!

In 2002, Cora made her show debut at the American Rare Breed Association's (ARBA's) New England Classic in Topsfield, Massachusetts. She and Louis were an impressive pair in the ring.  In November 2002, Cora successfully completed Basic Obedience; at the same time, she passed a Temperament Test with Gunfire.

During her breeding career, Cora produced three beautiful litters:

*3 puppies by Orion (May, 2003)
*6 puppies by Apollo (February, 2004)
*2 puppies by Denver (April, 2005)

Due to health issues in her second and third litters, we removed Cora from our breeding program.  She now lives in Gatineau, Quebec, where she is the loving companion of our special friends the Gaudettes, and GSD Simba!
