Since Bella was a puppy she has been plotting to take over the world! Her mother - Cavajal Solo Voyager - was an accredited drug detector dog and was still very much in active service at the age of 11! Bella has certainly inherited her mother's energy and drive. This, combined with her father's - Galestorm's Didja Symore - calmness and escape capabilities, make Bella an interesting dog to work with. Only lightly shown, Bella has 2 BOB's under her belt under international judges as well as a BCC. "a very lovely head & sweet expression, nice angles in front and rear.....nice bone and feet, excellent mover, promising youngster" Anja Verbeek - Farbourne Labradors - Judge 2004 Labrador National. Once Bella realised that finding the birds wasn't enough - she had to bring them back! - she produced some very good work in retrieving last season. She exhibits a very good nose, steadiness and a calm determination to succeed. The 2010 season has been outstanding for Bella in Restricted trials: from 6 trials, she won 3, placed 2nd and did not finish two. We're having a good time with Bella's own brand of trialling! Up to now, Bella's training has consisted of her work with the kids in the Labs 'n Life initiative, plus some "work" whilst on the occasional beach walk. Bella has worked consistently in the Labs 'n Life initiative and loved working in the core groups and in schools - particularly with Jed, Nicole, Chris and Bobby! "Yellow who was in good coat. Completed a trio of nice bitches. Lots of bone and substance. Moves very well." - Joyce Brabban - Cambremmer Labradors. Bella is now the senior manager of an aged care facility, where she keeps constant check on ALL residents and particularly a hot young groundsman!! Tracey is her new best buddy and Bella has her trained superbly. Bella is indeed an excellent example of the breed, adapting to whatever situation she finds herself in and making the most of it. The "Bella Chronicle" can be found on facebook - look for Bella Doening! Bella is certainly a girl who has made a significant impact on whomever she meets - none more so than Tracey. She has "Ambassador" status with Labs 'n Life and supports their many fundraising events.
