Danica finished her Championship on Sunday, January 22, 2012 with Rod at the end of the leash. She went Winners Bitch, Best of Winners and Best Opposite Sex to Garrison’s Best of Breed win to finish with 2 majors and 15 points on the nose. She is Vanleighof Kennel’s 53rd Champion of Record and makes her breeder Sheila Hoffman extremely proud. Her sire’s breeder Judith Abramsohn said, “Congrats. Thanks for liking and doing well with a Josh daughter. I hope she fulfills your hopes for her in your breeding program.”
In 2011, Danica won her Open Bitch class at the National Specialty and went Reserve Winners Bitch - a total entry of 57 class bitches.
Danica won her first Best of Breed under judge Bill Shelton at the Kachina Kennel Club show in Arizona in early April 2012 and then went on to win an Award of Merit at the 2012 Southern California Bouvier des Flandres Club regional specialty under judge Clay Coady.
She successfully welcomed 3 baby boys into the world on February 20, 2014, gave us 4 beautiful babies (2 boys and 2 girls) on Halloween - October 31, 2015, and surprised us all by free-whelping 5 boys and 4 girls on May 11, 2016. Danica is an amazing mother and brood bitch and we are very fortunate to have her offspring. She is now retired from the whelping box and is working on earning some performance titles.
