Marabelle is getting a big brother

[Rhonda, Marabelle & Jeriki]

Hi all, So the DH and I have fallen completly in love with Marabelle as you all of course know. She is a 4 month old ALD. We have been both blown away on how much we enjoy her, and only want to inhance the experience by getting another ALD for her, and us.  So I called Barb from Gemstones, many of you know her, she is an active DK member.  Barb is who we purchased Marabelle from.  I told her that we want another pup from her next litter.  Any way Barb has asked me to be a guardian for one of her young male pups. I am sooooooo excited. I said yes of course. What this meens is, I will recieve a beautiful boy as our very own in exchange for him, to stud a few times over the next 3 years or so, when Barb needs him.  When he retires, he "officially" becomes ours. So Marabelle gets a big brother for Christmas. Thanks Barb for thinking of me. We will love him forevor and back.

How wonderful. Great dog since it's of breeding quality from a trusted source and older so he can help train Marabelle. Good luck.

Thanks Cheryl, I love the name too. We had a battle in my house trying to pick the right name before we even brought her home. Her registration papers will always be Gemstone, so I was wanting something starting with a G like Gorgia, so I could call her GG. DH was having none of it. My youngest son wanted to name her Black Thunder lol (total Boy ) that one.  The other 3 wanted Kiya. I didn't think it suited her. This went on for days, then one day I made a call, and the lady on the other end said Marybelle speaking.  A light bulb went off lol. I just tweeked it a bit I like MaraaaaBelle better. It suites her and the whole family agreed. Now for the new battle
