SHOW FEMALE
This drop dead gorgeous girl just keeps getting better and better! I knew she took heavy after her father’s super typey bloodlines, but the older she gets, the more DIABLO TIMIT-TOR I see in this beauty!! She is copy/paste of him at this age! She has a very similar pedigree to my Goliath and her temperament is copy/paste of him. She is gentle natured, full of love and happiness, and just so eager to please. She naturally focuses on handler- to the point that getting good photos can be a challenge 😉 I am SUPER tempted to keep this beauty– I would LOVE to see her in the show ring! At 3 months old, she should be entering the lanky stage of growth, but she definitely did NOT get that memo! She is thick, stocky, heavy boned and very large. So very proud to have produced this incredible female!
HARPY 3 MONTHS OLD:
HARPY 5 WEEKS OLD
Harpy is a gorgeous, typey girl- one of the strongest in type in this litter. She has a super short coat, rich color and very clean markings. Harpy has a very compact, stocky build with a strong frame and good bone and substance. Head type is extreme without being overdone. I am so very pleased with this beautiful lady. Much like her brother, Hockey, her compact, well muscled build with a short, tight coat will showcase every muscle as she grows. Harpy has a perfectly square frame with excellent top and underlines and very nice front and rear assemblies. Her tail is perfectly set and carried, further lengthening her topline. She holds her frame very well in movement and is very graceful despite her heavy build. Head type is everything I had hoped for in this breeding and then some! She has that super dark muzzle that I just can never get enough of! Her muzzle is short, compact and with a very nice stop. She has excellent undereye fill and a heavy topskull. Her ears are perfectly set and carried keeping her lines clean and graceful. If her head is this strong and this typey at 5 weeks of age, she is going to be absolutely spectacular when she is full grown!
In Greco-Roman classical mythology, a Harpy is described as “a fabulous creature, probably a wind spirit…” having the body of a bird and the head of a woman. When I conjure up this image in my head, I see power, grace, strength, beauty, sharp, fierce and elegant all at the same time and that so perfectly suits our Harpy. Harpies have also been known in mythology to lean men astray much like sirens. I can definitely see this gorgeous young lady having a very captive audience!
The song I chose for her video is equally fitting. A rabbit (hare) buries their den for the babies deeper when there is a threat and then they selflessly lead any potential predator away from the location, willing to protect their babies with their lives. They pluck their own fur to line the nest to make it a soft, comfortable and warm home for their babies. “Mama rabbits are highly protective of their nest and will go to great lengths to keep their babies safe. They are constantly on alert for potential threats and will fiercely defend their young if needed. Mama rabbits have strong instincts to protect their babies, and they will stand between their offspring and any potential danger.”
Temperament of our beautiful Harpy is also everything and then some that I had hoped for this breeding. She is clever and biddable like mom; quick thinking like dad; and gentle, affectionate and sincere like Hulk and Diablo. I am so honored to have produced this beauty!! Harpy will come with FULL REGISTRATION!
