Diamond was whelped on June 6th, 2002, which happened to be Keith’s parent’s fiftieth wedding anniversary. Her dam is Bolduc’s Miss T Moon from Tacoma, Washington, and her sire is Ch. Berlaune’s Causin an Uproar. SOM.  

We feel like Diamond was just meant to be with us. It was fate. We had chosen the name Diamond because of my love for jewelry long before we located our new puppy. As it turns out, Diamond has a rough diamond blaze on the back of her neck. Some things are just meant to be.

The best description of Diamond is she IS a force to be reckoned with. Diamond is ALL ATTITUDE. You cannot ignore her, she demands your attention. Our friend and fellow Louisiana Boxer Club member Karen McCrory of Wildwoods Kennel has nicknamed her “Princess Di, the later years”. Diamond is all about attitude.

Little Miss Di is also an escape artist. Keith likes to refer to her as “Houdini dog”. Just ask Ike and Karen. We had been telling them that Diamond studies the locks on the crates and if she can get to them, she will open them. Well, at one of the shows, not once but twice, Karen found Diamond sitting in her crate with the door wide open. After that, Karen hid and watched Diamond use her tongue and lips to have the door open again in no time. Now they use extra clips on her crate.  

On December 6th, 2002, on her 6 month birthday at the Pearl River Kennel Club in Gonzales, Louisiana, Diamond earned her first 2 points and started her career with a bang. Diamond took Winners Bitch and Best of Winners under Judge W.C.Stebbins. It was a great win, but unfortunately Keith and I couldn’t be there. Our son had a soccer tournament that weekend in Lake Charles. I will never forget Keith getting the call from Ike and Tammy. Keith was excited and saying “What happened?” “She did what? You have to tell Denise!” It was amazing. Ike, Tammy and Carole had all stressed beforehand that it was just a learning process for Diamond and not to expect her to win. Needless to say, Diamond spoiled us.  

What can I say! Diamond started her show career on a winning note. But she has her moments in the ring. Ike likes to refer to them as her “blonde moments”. She will start acting silly and clowning around. Oh well, if a girl can’t have fun, what good is life.

~~~First and foremost, she is our beloved pet, part of the family. Win, lose, or draw ~~~ We love her and she knows it. The bottom line is that's all that's important. She's happy, healthy, and well loved.
