Saffie joined the clan in 2005 when we wanted a companion for Molly and a dog to show. When we came across a litter sired by Canina Royal Request who is gorgeous, we had to have one. Saffie is rarely (when on good behaviour) out of the rosettes at breed shows. We attended a few shows in her younger days but since I took her to my dog training club, Denne Park (a Photo of baby Saffie is on their main page!) where Molly was trained, to do her Bronze Good Citizen, everybody expressed how much potential she showed for obedience and that's where it all started.
Last year I decided to concentrate on obedience and she surprised us by coming second at her first obedience open show. A few weeks later she took 1st in a high class at a companion show and since then she has been regularly placed.
Saffie was destined to work in some way, shape or form. She enjoys being loyal and doing what you say, she gets bored at home doing nothing! Saffie is fiercely obedient and is always at her masters side awaiting her next move or command and will often follow me in the toilet-there is no space too small for Saf! Out on walks she is always on the go and probably does 10 times the amount of walking that you do. She goes crazy if you get the lead out and plays tug o war, shaking the lead to bits! This makes her good for obedience as she has a boundless sometimes uncontrollable energy when playing. Saf is a dog who enjoys routines and relishes in reminding you that at this point in the walk we should play together!
Saffie is a big talker, as soon as you start getting ready for a walk or a show she begins! If Molly joins in and starts barking their is quite a chorus going on! A quiet and unassuming girl at home is Saf- until you play with her. Saf hates being naughty and wouldn't dare do anything wrong, she takes pleasure in behaving and pleasing her owners.

CLOVERICE SERENITY (Saffie) – Goldie. A handler who took time to play and motivate her dog before the round, and in between each exercise, and also took her time to get the dog set up correctly. Sadly, messed up a few ATs, and the sits were untidy (although improving), but the potential is definitely there.

6th 144 Cloverice Serenity at Serenedrift. Goldie. This was a well motivated Goldie that I really liked, faults caused by enthusiasm but I’m sure will go a lot further. Well done
