Lexi

Lexi is a really lovely girl who knew right from the start that she was staying here with us. She was first born in the litter and straight away Greg said

that it was meant to be (Jewel had come back to us). Consequently she is named in honour of her late "grandmother" - Jewel - Bisart Diamond Spirit

She has shown the aptitude her mother has for all disciplines already, taking to tracking like a duck to water, she just thrives on the individual time

we share for her beginners obedience and absolutely loves showing off when the show lead and treats come out.

Lexi has a wonderful temperament and is a complete joy to live with, a real testament to her sire's

temperament and pedigree. I think we will have some fun with this beautiful young girl in the future.

Judge: Mrs D Butler (UK)

Intermediate Bitch Class – Not Placed

Super head plane, nice dark eye, elegant neck into the best of fronts, nice deep brisket, firm topline, good tail set,

nice rear angulation. Let me down on the move by throwing her elbows out. Graded: Very Good

******************************************************************************

Unfortunately Lexi injured her left shoulder leading into the National week and due to everything else that was

going on with the club and fighting proposed new legislations, my own dogs weren't on the top of the priority list.

Despite Lexi's successes over the week I still feel that I deeply let her down, and resolve that this will

never happen again, my dogs will always come before anything else, apart from Greg ofcourse.

Tracking Dog Title

Bisart Diamond Spirit CGC TD

Lexi gained her Tracking Dog Title with a beautiful track for her TQT, another beautiful track for her Track One with a grading of Very Good and then unfortunately, I cost her a Very Good grading for her Track Two - a lovely handler inhibited track with a Grading of Good for her to gain her Tracking Dog Title. (The number one rule in tracking is "Trust Your Dog" !!!!!).

Community Companion Dog Title

Bisart Diamond Spirit CGC CCD TD

Lexi gained her first CCD Pass at the Dobermann Club of Victoria Inc Specialty Trail with a

96 / 100, 1st Place In The Ring & BEST COMMUNITY COMPANION DOG IN TRIAL

This also made her the 2007 ELMARO TROPHY WINNER

The Elmaro Trophy is awarded to a dog that places in its conformation class and gains a qualifying score in obedience.

Lexi won the Elmaro Trophy by taking 1st place in her Intermediate Bitch Class, then winning Best Intermediate In Show and then

winning Best Community Companion Dog In Trial. What a really lovely achievement for Lexi, she has won her Class at every Specialty

she has attended and her Class In Show at every Specialty except one. But to start out in obedience and achieve this as well with a

score of 96 / 100 on a 27 deg day and at the end of a very long week is a great tribute to her ability.

To win the Elmaro Trophy undefeated is something that has never been achieved before in the history of this award and we are

really very proud of our baby girl.

Her next two passes were gained after a very long break due to being baited at a show early in 2008, from which we were very lucky

not to lose her and then having about 5 months to truely recover from this insult to her system. Her performance at Bairnsdale was lovely

but she was quite tired at the Gippsland Trial and it showed in her ability to cope in the ring. Still she gained her third pass and

her third title of Community Companion Dog. It was a very emotional effort thats for certain and it means alot

more than usual because I know what she has been through to get to this point.

Tracking Dog Excellent Title

AUST CH Bisart Diamond Spirit CGC CCD TDX ET

Lexi gained her Tracking Dog Excellent Title with 3 consecutive passes,

her Test 3 at Eastern Tracking Trial in one of the hardest bush tracks I have ever done, her Test 4 at Tracking Club of Victoria Broadford up and down what felt like skiing Mt Broadford on sheep poo covered ground in gale force freezing wind and then her Test 5 in a lovely paddock except for the herd of sheep who kept insisting on staring at her (pity we can't do herding . . . she was fascinated) and who covered the entire track walking / running in front of us the whole way - breaking three of the track pegs in the process - it was only the last leg they didn't walk down which she tracked beautifully - oh well thats tracking.

This makes up her Tracking Dog Excellent Title - her sixth title so far.
