C.J.

    
Marburl's Oracle of Orrkid
(Ch. Moss Wood's BJ Sugar Krisp ex Ch. Baldr's Superchic, DOM)
2/16/86 - 10/12/93

We co-owned C.J. with Mary Frances & Rufus Burleson - she lived with us. At about four months of age, she broke a bone in her front right foot.  She was in a cast for 6 weeks during an important growing time.  After the cast came off, we gradually increased her exercise so that she could gain strength back.  We did try showing her some but it seemed that she didn't really recover from the break.

C.J. and her mom (Q.T.) running at Lake 11 - one of the exercises we tried to improve her strength.

We decided that she was not show potential and would just be our couch potato.  Most often she could be found curled up with her mom or our son.

We bred C.J. to Ch. Barisle's Special Premium which produced a litter of six on July 8, 1987 - three flashy fawn bitches, one flashy brindle bitch, one plain fawn bitch and a flashy fawn dog. 

The three flashy fawn bitches went on to become champions.  We kept one out of this litter - Dot.  One of the bitches (Chamisa) was owned by Mary Frances and Rufus Burleson and won the futurity in 1988.

Chamisa - Grand Prize Futurity Winner - 1988

Chamisa, Dot & Dinah - 1988 ABC

We had friends who were ready for another boxer in their lives.  We decided to let them have C.J. in September of 1987 - she went to live with Brian & Sandy Weinman who had two younger children.  She loved being with them.  I co-owned C.J. with Sandy.

We bred C.J. again in late 1990 to Ch. Wesan's Shenandoah - litter was whelped on February 15, 1991 - one flashy fawn bitch, one flashy brindle bitch, one flashy fawn dog and one plain brindle dog.  We kept the flashy fawn bitch - Beebee.

C.J. lived out the rest of her life with the Weinmans eventually succumbing to skin cancer.
