Belle left for her new home in Canada on October 15, 2002 These are her parting shots at the airport. She has moved into her new home and has taken over as if she always lived there reports Rick Clarkson.
October 18, 2002, fax from Rick and Adele:
Good morning. We've been very busy since we got home putting in some extra fencing to keep Belle safe on the property. The airplane arrived in Seattle at 756pm and I got Belle at 820pm. It was another twenty-five minutes before we got to the motel. Belle and Juno met at the motel on a grassy area just outside the room. It took Belle a while to get steady on her legs. Awake at 5am out for a walk, She did well on the leash. In for her breakfast and a nap. We left Seattle about 930am with a few pit stops. She is running around here now like she owns the place and has always been here. The two girls are getting along really well and playing together keeping us happy and busy. Belle likes running around with one of Juno's lambskin slipper pieces dangling from her mouth. She is a very good dog. Thank you. Rick and Adele Clarkson

Sherry, We just received the Canadian registration document for Belle. Training
classes have not started yet but we are getting her used to stacking.
Her first entry will most likely be for February but we will get back to
you on the exact date. The way the shows here are structured the dog
must be entered in a regular category on the same day as the puppy
sweepstakes are taking place. She is really starting to run fast and on
some runs even keeps right up with Juno and powers herself forward to
try and overtake her when they go flat out. Rick and Adele

It appears Belle will be an avid courser.

Hi Sherry!
...She did not point at the last show but did get a first one day but lost out to the larger dogs in the next round. The judges say she has to fill out and get more coat and then she will get the points easily because she has a beautiful head and front and moves very well in the ring. So we will not be putting her into any more shows until next year. She even got compliments from the competition - owners and handlers. Rick and Adele
Belle is getting prettier with time. January 2005
Belle was shown as a puppy (against adults) and didn't win so her owners decided that she was not show quality. They said they were coursing her, but I've never seen or heard any more about that. Then there was agility, but that also went who knows where. I asked them to let me show her, they declined. She's a very pretty and correct Borzoi who will finish out her life on the couch. She could have been a champion, but they had no faith in her. This is another reason I now prefer companion homes only.
I haven't heard about Belle for years and happily received this in my email inbox on February 29, 2008
