Gordomoraf de Ubrique (Stella) is Samantha's dog.  She was brought home from Spain in the summer of 2006 at eight weeks old after spending almost four weeks with her in Ubrique.

Stella has a lot of confidence and drive, as well as being structurally sound and healthy.  She began herding at five moths old and showed intinct immediately.  Just give her a job, and she is happy.  Stella loves to herd, fetch, swim, find hidden items and climb up on your lap for kisses.  Her exhuberance is contagious and she has inspired other dogs to dare to do what they were leary of.  She has been showing since she is three months old and shows confidence in the ring.

OFA, CERF, Thyroid and OptiGen tested for prcd/PRA.




   

 Stella won a Best in Show at the NAKC/Rarities Pocono Classic on May 10, 2008.  Samantha was the youngest handler to win an Adult Best in Show with Rarities!  Stella is now a NAKC/Rarities Grand Champion!
