CANADIAN CHAMPION

KILKENNY VON BABLESBERGI

- OPAL -

We are so very grateful to my good friend Bea Grasselli for allowing this beautiful girl to come and live this side of the ocean. Opal is a stunning girl - and as her name suggests she is truly a gem. She has a beautiful cream coat, excellent structure and a very classic, elegant look. She has the most beautiful expression and is very sociable - she loves everybody she meets young or old; canine, human or otherwise. She is extremely smart and has a very happy and uncomplicated personality.

Opal comes from a very interesting combination of Swedish and English lines. Her father is the beautiful Dewmist Dandy Knight who was Junior World Winner in 2008 and many other respected Swedish champions fill her father's side of the pedigree. Her mother Non-stop Irish Ivy is a beautiful girl who comes from strong Finnish and English lines with champions from the reputable Xanthos kennel being most notable.

Opal easily obtained her Championship and went on to give us her first litter of puppies in May, 2012. She is a fantastic mother, extremely attentive and affectionate with her babies and passes on her beautiful looks and wonderful personality to her offspring. We feel very fortunate to have Opal as part of our Dreamkeeper family.
