'Lucia' joined us as a 10 week-old puppy, our first serious show prospect, in 1995. One year later, she won the prestigious GSPCA National Futurity in El Paso, TX, defeating 118 entries. Two months later, she went undefeated for Best of Breed and was a multiple group winner on a 12-show Canadian circuit. These wins earned her #6 GSP status in Canada for 1996. She was awarded Best In Show at 17 months, adding an International championship title to the American and Canadian show titles she already held. As a two year-old, Lucia was shown intermittently on the west coast. She won 36 BOB/BOS for her efforts. Lucia finished her junior hunter title, amateur owner-handled wihout any formal training, as our way to demonstrate that GSP's with natural birdiness can succeed in the field. Lucia was to be our foundation bitch, but our efforts were frustrated for nearly two years. Finally, Lucia's first litter, sired by 'Dakota' (Ch Imagine's Heir Apparent JH), was whelped in May 2000. We are keeping the pick male, who looks very promising. Lucia remains very much 'in charge' at Straightaway.
