Elmo is our youngest boy, a son of our Dexter & Maggie. He was the second puppy born in our third Braemoor litter. Elmo is a slate dog and weighed 420 gram at birth.

Elmo was sold right after he was born to people who had been waiting for a puppy for a long time. I was not planning to keep a puppy out of this litter and certainly not a dog. I was however very attracted to Elmo right from the start. On July 16, 2006 Elmo was picked up by the family who had picked him, they had named him Bruce. He had spent only nine days with them when they returned him, they couldn't get used to having a dog.

It didn't take long before we had found new owners for this cute puppy, they visited us and we had agreed they would come and pick him up 2 weeks later. The weekend before they were coming to pick up Bruce we got the official hipscore in from Ginny (a bitch we had kept out of our previous litter). Ginny has HD-C (a light positive form). And we decided to offer Ginny to these people, they decided to visit us again and see both Bruce (Elmo) & Ginny again and then decide after that. A few days after the second visit they decided to take Ginny. And we made the decision to keep Bruce and we renamed him Elmo.

Elmo is a very sweet natured puppy who reminds me a lot of his father in his behaviour. He loves to be around people and has a friendly and open character. He is very easy going and does well at the puppy classes we are taking. Of course we are planning to show him when he is older but we are first enjoying his puppy time.

Elmo has developed wonderfully, he has a very lovable character, is great with the other dogs and our cat and he is doing well at shows, he won a couple of times already, and on July 15, 2007 he finished his German youth championship!

Elmo re entered the ring in open class summer 2008, he is doing very well and is on his way to his german championship. We are enjoying his great personality every day, he is so much like his dad character wise, in looks we feel he is taking more after his mum. Elmo is a wonderful beardie with very nice length to height ratio, he has the darkest of eyes and a very strong muzzle. He has super pigmentation and a calm, sensible temperament. He is an easy mover and listens very well, we hope he will continue his succes in the show ring and are looking forward to more offspring of him.
