Potterdale Polka - Kelli

(Potterdale Anderson at Ramsgrove x Ch Tamevalley Easter Song of Potterdale) Kelli at 14 Months

After a day out at Southwell Show - not a dog show - we unexpectedly came home with Kelli (that seemed so unusual at the time but has become a bit of a policy - happen to see a puppy, like it, bring it home same day) and she is special as she was our first connection with Mike and Janet - the start of a steep learning curve and a friendship which has lasted over twenty years.

Kelli was difficult to get into whelp until we trialed Premate and found the "right" day for Kelli varied from day 10 to day 21 on different seasons. She produced some lovely puppies, one stayed in the UK, Potterdale Christmas Party, father of Ch Kiltondale Dignity.

Kelli and the "Christmas" litter by Potterdale Speciality, unfortunately I cannot identify any of them save that Potterdale Christmas Party is the sweet plain face in the middle and I think Norweign Champion Potterdale Christmas Noelle of Twinklestar is the one to the right of him. this litter was born on Christmas Day behind the television - Kelli was so considerate she waited until I had finished my Christmas Lunch but got me out of the washing up.
