Berljon Giosefina, "Fina"

Fina

LCA CH Berljon Giosefina CGC came to live with us in February 2003 at 10 weeks old. Imported from Guido Perosino in Italy, Fina and her sister Gemma made the journey to America together, with Gemma living in New Jersey.

Fina is a tall girl, sassy and playful. She has a high prey drive which I am trying to channel into play/work drive.

Clicker trained from 10 weeks, she learns quickly, though she is inclined more toward creativity in her responses, more like Argo than Faran.

A beautiful baby, Fina had her first big conformation win at the tender age of 5 months, when she took Reserve Best Puppy in Show at the ARBA Cherryblossom 2003. In limited showing she earned her first two majors at just over a year old.

At 17 months, she took Breed and a Group 4th at the Cherryblossom with the #1 ARBA dogs in the country in that ring.

She finished up her LCA championship with a Winners Bitch at the Southeast regional LCA specialty.

Fina (or Fifi as she is also called) is learning carting and water rescue training. She took a shine to flyball, though learning to catch the ball took a very long time.

She is an excellent swimmer, and is learning the water retrieve.

But her greatest love is snuggling with people. She is a very gentle girl with a tender heart.
