Leonardo made his show debut on September 21, 2003 at the Helena, Montana show.  Unfortunately, his bite went the way of his paternal Grand Aunt (behind Bokhara) - undershot after six months of age - so he will not be a show dog.  Instead, his life will go on as a companion to Ree Cuneo in Scottsdale, Arizona.    He is pictured playing tug of war with Mirabella November 21, 2003.  He leaves Shefaro mid December.</B></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="120c13ce0.jpg" border=0 width="275" height="206" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="120b13ce0.jpg" border=0 width="275" height="206" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>  November 27, 2003</B></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="1239657a0.jpg" border=0 width="357" height="378" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>Left to right - Marisa, Maestro, Leonardo, Olivia, Rodriga 12/05/03</B></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="12aa903a0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="314" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>December 19, 2003</B></div> <div> <B>Leonardo left Shefaro today bound for his new home in New Mexico.  He's perfect in every way except for his paternal grand aunt's undershot bite.   I really miss this guy but with his bite, he cannot be shown nor bred.</B></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="12b5902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>Leonardo meets Ree.   Love at first sight.</B></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="1372902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>Leonardo's home! </B></div> <div> ----- Original Message ----- </div> <div> From: "ree c"  </div> <div> To: <<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>shefaro@ev1.net</U></FONT>> </div> <div> Sent: Saturday, March 06, 2004 10:13 AM </div> <div> Subject: RE: Leonardo </div> <bR> <div> > Hi Sherry,</div> <div> > Hope these went through.

I love the way Leonardo has </div> <div> adapted to farm life...he is a magnificent creature up here. In the very  first week he caught and killed 3 possums which had managed to get into the </div> <div>  house. He loves to swim in the well-pond out back and has turned into the </div> <div>  dog I have always desired...I so dearly love him..You have given me the </div> <div>  greatest gift of all..a truly wonderful, loyal companion. He just loves </div> <div>  California,( so do I)..Soon I will desire to add to the collection, let me </div> <div>  know if you have any other boys who would love a " 'hellactious' farm life </div> <div>  in Ca" . Thank you for sending me my "Romeo", truly a match made in heaven. </div> <div>  Thanks, ree</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>  November 11, 2004</div> <div> Boris, Ree and Massisimo! </div> <div> <IMG SRC="16da90150.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="533" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="16db902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
