Hazel Run's Princess Lil Belle...our fourth boy
Princess Lil Belle is the King's sister, and we could see she was special when we picked up Ember...
but she was spoken for...by an idiot (and I'm being kind) as it turns out... Her first owner used an underground fence and a shock collar, not too uncommon or excessive...but he put his training pigeons just outside the perimeter. Belle, being a bird dog, was very interested in the pigeons...but every time she'd go over to look, she'd get a shock. Sigh. Her owner, a self-styled 'trainer', couldn't understand why after a while she didn't want to look at a pigeon, much less point it. She did better for him at the game farm, but then she began refusing to hunt. Some days she'd do fine, some days he couldn't force her out of the truck when they got to the training field. At that point, this 'trainer' decided she just wouldn't point and couldn't hunt. So after having had her a year, he took her back to the breeder. How he could do that escapes me--she's such a house dog, loves to get underfoot when you're working in the kitchen, licks your face raw with tender kisses if you let her, and is just such a cheerful loving girl. But still he took her back...and we finally got to bring her home! We noticed the same thing about her that her first owner had--some days she was just 'off'. We recognized the symptoms and took her in for a blood test. Lil Belle turned out to have a chronic case of Lyme's disease. Her first owner had never had her checked, even though he'd had her out in tick territory At any rate, she responded well to the antibiotics and only occasionally has a flare-up these days. Although we don't pressure her to hunt, she does love to get out in the woods. She has a lovely point and a wonderful nose. At Hazel Run she's a lover and a hard player and gets a kick out of riling up the Pack. She's always out there picking a fight and getting a ruckus going. She plays so hard, we call her our fourth boy! Once she has everyone roughhousing, she runs for cover and wants Mom to escort her to the deck. Such a silly girl! Without further ado, let me introduce the Tomboy Princess of Hazel Run, Princess Lil Belle: She has a very expressive face and her eyepatch lends her an air of mystery She can look skeptical:

She can look sassy...
...or regal... ...or bossy, as the mood strikes her.

But her specialty look is her coy look...
She uses this one most often when she's been caught in the act of doing something unbecoming of her rank. "Honest, Mom! I'm innocent! How could you possibly believe that this face could do such a thing?"

And then she's right back at it!
Sassin' her brother the King... ...messin' with Esquire Brier's mind... ...and then running for the door when things get really wild in the yard. "Let me in! Let me in!" "Ahhh. That's better. See? I'm an !"

We're so glad, too! Hindsight is 20-20. If only we'd taken her the day we brought Ember home...
She was a little doll back then, too...

Lil Belle certainly does know how to entertain herself.
I love the second "coy look" pic and the "skeptical look" cracks me up. |

Every time I read one of the pack's threads, I think, "aw, this one's my favorite " until I read another one of their threads . I give up, they are all my favorites .
I love the video of Lil Belle zooming figure 8s around her Kong . She's too adorable . Thanks for posting those Growler .

She is a sweetie...and a beauty....
...and a tomboy! We were pretty lucky to get her...just wish I'd had madame hazel's crystal ball up and running when we picked up Ember, cuz then we would have followed through on our impulse to bring Lil Belle home right away, too! It would have at least preserved her health I'll earmark one of her extra kissies for you, TeriM. And the Princess thanks all of you for your support! "You hear that, guys? They all think I'm the prettiest!!! nyah-nyah!!"

Luckily you won't have to, 14+ cuz I'm bein' selfish here and keepin' 'em all!
She really does look a little like a pirate with her eye patch, doesn't she? A very pretty pirate, but a pirate, nonetheless. She has the personality for it, too! *Lil Belle tears up to the deck with the Pack in hot pursuit* "Avast, me hearties!! *scruffs Brier* Take that! *scruffs Ridge* And that! *fends Sheriff Cole off with one paw* Take that, you dog!!!"

I'm glad her first owner thought what he did and returned her to the breeder.or she wouldn't be with you and we wouldn't get to see pics and videos of her.
She looks like she can be quite the silly girl.enough to get the rest chasing her. Last edited by angeldogs; February 5th, 2009 at 07:44 PM. |

And now that she's getting treatment when necessary and has found her Pack, she really can be quite the silly girl You should see her out there egging the others on in the morning! And then running to stand beside me so I can watch her back while the others are trying to grab her luxuriously furry scruff

Ya, but she works so hard to agitate them! She gets right in their faces, paws at them, puts her chin over their necks, and just eggs them on any way she can. So it's her own fault! What a she can be! Ya gotta love her spirit!! A real feister!

You certainly do have a good mixture of personality and spirt going on in the pack.
It might be her fault but sounds like she is just trying to start their day off with a little excitement and exercise so they stay young and healthy.she doing them a favour.they should all be thankful.just shows she cares. |
