We would like to introduce you to Joy, she is the daughter of Crossfire Chatos County a dog of exceptional pigment and character and Joy is sire typical. Chato possesses exceptional breed qualities and being the son of Silver medalist Crossfire Celline and Sch h3 titled dog Kim v Kaibach, with an uncle who to his credit is a Australian Grand Champion, Bronze medalist (Crossfire Cantona) and who is the sire of our boy Jack, whom is completing his training as a active community service dog working within national security, the future is certainly bright for Joy and us, we were extremely pleased with CJ's litter to Chato and wish all of her puppies adopted families the best in the future.

Joy's mother is the half sister, via dam, of our Karma, who is the dam of Leabashiba Carmas Solo 'A'Z', an active community service dog. Joy is also the half sister to Leabashiba Ezy Ryder, who has been blitzing them on the West Coast in Agility competitions.

Whilst Joy  commenced her showing career in 2005,  we are now working towards  in obedience work with Joy, after allowing her to just enjoy being a puppy for awhile. Joy is an avid retriever and after only a very short time in training is getting ready to trial later in 2006 and Joy commenced trialing in 2007. Joy and I may go back to dog shows, but at the moment we are really enjoying ourselves at obedience

Joy gained her breed survey class 1 classification in September 2006 and has proven already she can produce, with a lovely litter to Tallis. Her daughter Deiva is gorgeous, with a lovely glamorous coat, strength of constitution and like Tallis and Joy has high retrieve, loves games and we are looking forward to what the future will bring with our two promising girls, Joy and Deiva, Joy has not produced a long coat.

Joy participated in the annual Ipswich Dog Obedience club Endurance Test on the weekend of the 29.07.07. Where we made a 1,000km round trip over the weekend and the test consisted of a basic obedience test, three sections of gaiting, up to 14km per hour, for a total of 20km and had to pass a vet check at every rest station and also complete another basic obedience test at completion.

Joy is the third LEABASHIBA German Shepherd Dog in 12 months to compete and pass the E.T. The first was Champion Leabashiba Delta Force E.T, BSC.1 and the second Leabashiba Ezy Ryder E.T, J.J.D, E.J.D and now Joy.
