Club Specialty in Wisconsin, under breeder-judge Barbara O'Neill.
She is the third generation to win MBC, following her sire, Virago,
and grandmother, Nara.
Fiona has inherited many of the good qualities of both of
her parents. She won two Sweepstakes, as a youngster and was
BOS in another. As a puppy, she earned a 5 point major and earned
two supported entry Reserves.
Fiona is very athletic.. fast,
gamey, and huntress extraordinaire!
