Best Puppy in Show, Best Puppy in Specialty Show, Reserve Winners Bitch in Regional Specialty Show Talisman's Arabian Angel Ivy is an easygoing, relaxed, optimistic and hyper-social baby from the Aquatic litter. She's truly never met a stranger, and seems to think everyone is her new best friend. She is happy to fling herself into absolutely anyone's arms, so her nickname is "climbing Ivy".

Like the rest of her litter, she has a reef fish themed registered name, the Arabian Angelfish is a gorgeous and rare denizen of the Red Sea. Ivy's fish namesake truly suits her as she is also well past swamphound inclined and may actually count as an amphibious lifeform.
Ivy at seven months at the beach In freshwater, she loves to stick her head into water up to her ears to blow bubbles, and if it's deep enough, she's been known to submerge her entire body and head to the point where you can just see the top of her back and neck and her trail of bubbles. In saltwater she loves splashing around and running in the waves. Luckily for this waterdog, she's grown up within an easy drive to the ocean, and she's made the most of that, making regular trips to Ft Funston and Pt Isabel as well as running around the hills in California!
Boing! It's the rare Furry Seahare! Ivy loves to wrestle and play chase with any and all types of dog, from the biggest to the smallest toy, as long as they are friendly. She grew up going to the toy dog park occasionally, and she really thinks that any toy dog is a playmate until they tell her otherwise! She's also had many playdates with her fellow Silken Windhounds. |

Ivy and Jacob run along the cliffs In the short period of time she's shown, she's had a wondeful time, earning both Best Puppy in Specialty Show, Best Puppy in Group, and Winners Bitch awards at NAKC shows and a UKC match. She needs 10 more points and one major more to get her NAKC Ch! Her affable personality and big trot make her a delight to show! |

She would still prefer to be running on the beach with her sister Anthias! Ivy's also started her racing and oval track and LC career! She's consistently ranked in the top placements since she started racing, and has got her first bunch of points towards her Ch in straights, her first few pts towards her oval ch, and is getting the hang of LC!
