Follow Me du Domaine de Luniray

 

PARENTS

His parents are Daphné (the mother) and Merlin l'Enchanteur(the father).

 


Daphné
 

Daphné hadn't my kennel name because at this time, I haven't any yet. Merlin l'Enchanteur was owned by Ms Selosse in Belgium.
When I saw him the first time, it was during CINAY show in Belgium. I was showing Daphné in young class, she was beginning her show carrer.


 

Merlin was too in young class and when I saw him I thought : "Daphné's "husband" will be him when she will be old enough to have puppies.
He was beautiful, with a good pigmentation, good dentition and a very beautiful coat.

THE LITTER


Daphné chiot
 
In the litter, there were 3 puppies, 2 males et one female.
They born full white an Follow me, like his mother when she was pup, had a light champagne spot on the ear which lightened when the coat grown.

 

Ms Ceriez (kennel Woodland Cottage) come at home to choose a pup, and it's true that she hesitated a lot between the two males.
Feel Me See Me was dominant but the pigmentation was lighter. Follow, was more reserved. So she chose Feel me.
 


Follow Me et sa mère Daphné

 


Follow Me
 
Follow Me has been to a lot of shows in France and abroad, he became France Champion, Belgium Champion InternationalChampion. Then Canada Champion.
Follow Me has a great temperament like his mother. It was a pleasure to be in show with him. He was happy on the ring and appeared very proudly to the judge.
He got his first CACwhen he was 11 months old in Maastricht (Holland). He won on his mother who was in Champion class and got best of breed, he was already promising!


 

SHOWS

Longchamp, Rouen, Reims, Pontoise, Rotterdam, Maastricht, Liège, Gand, Mouscron ... He participated to so much shows, that it's impossible to enumerate all of them. He won in Longchamp (French Championship show) in 1992 where he became France Champion when he was 2 years old, then International and Belgium Champion next year.
 



his Grand-Mother: Beloah de la Perle d'Acq



 


Follow Me
 
When he was on the ring, he was gorgeous with his big coton texture coat.
I bred Daphné with Merlin according to the parents qualities who were excellent. I thought they were really very good. To be honest I must say too that I bred my Daphné because I had the feeling about that breeding.


I admit that if somebody ask me : "what have you changed in Follow Me if you could?", I couldn't answer him, because he is a really super Coton. He had a lot of sons, grandsons ... I have some at home.

 



Follow Me et Love Me Always
