Pele

Pele is out of Kahlua and Wasabi. We bred this litter with Pele in mind and she definitely delivers! She is owned by Tabitha Teutsch, William Bell and co-owned by Heather and Brianna. This was Brianna’s first breeding and co-owned dog at the age of 10. Pele is named after the Hawaiian Volcano Goddess that turns into a white dog (not the soccer player!) Her AKC name came from the fact that she lives out in the middle of the crop fields of Camarillo. She grew up with her mother, Kahlua, and now lives with her half-sister, Kona, daughter Suki, and soon to be son-in-law, Riot.

Pele’s first match she went Best In Sweepstakes, Best In Match and we were interviewed for local Tv! It was a very fun day for her owners and their very first show dog. Pele finished her Championship in August of 2009 going Best Of Winners and Best Bred By where she won the Bred By Working Group. Pele was a fun show dog and could move like the wind!  She has also completed her Grand Championship. Her first time out as a Veteran, she took Best Veteran and Best Veteran in Sweeps! She is a very athletic dog and is now enjoying an agility career. Tabitha has been training and running her in agility and they make a great team that achieved their MACH title. Pele was bred twice and now has Champion offspring that we are very proud of!

6/10/21: A tribute to Pele: Today is a day I have been dreading since January 12th, today would have been Pele’s 14th birthday. I have tried so many times to sit down and write something, but I could never find the words that seemed good enough to describe my special girl. She held so many firsts for me: she was the result of the first breeding I was involved in, was in the first litter that I helped Heather whelp, she was my first puppy, my first show dog and my first agility dog. She taught me so much. She was a trying puppy, and earned her nickname of “Monster” and I’m pretty sure she wore it proudly, but she tried, and she grew up to be such a good girl. Her world revolved around food, and as long as I had a cookie for her, she would do anything I asked of her. I think most people from agility will remember her weaves, I have never seen any other dog weave like her, but she got the job done. She barked the whole way through, and if her bark was off, her weaves were off. As a youngster she had the talent of peeing through the weaves at trials, while continuing to weave might I add, something I’m sure my fellow competitors loved (thankfully that didn’t last long!). We competed in the AKC National Agility Championship and the AKC Agility Invitational, and had so much fun at both. She always did well in conformation, and she was a blast to show, she loved it (along with the previously mentioned cookies). She loved to bark, especially at agility trials and of course while waiting to be fed (or letting us know that she thought it was time for her to be fed). I have met so many people and traveled so many places because of her, and I am so thankful for the time I had with her. Life can change in an instant, so please hugs your dogs a little tighter today, and give them an extra cookie for her. Until we meet again my sweet girl. ~Tabitha
