Meet Forest Lakes Stardust Legacy in Diamonds “Dusty”

We are proud to introduce Forest Lakes Stardust Legacy in Diamonds, known as “Dusty,” the sparkling star of our April 2024 litter. Littermate to CeCe, Dusty has already made a dazzling impression in the show ring, and she’s just getting started!

At only 14 weeks old, Dusty stepped into the spotlight and stole the show. Competing as the youngest puppy in a large class, she captured Reserve Best Puppy in Show at her very first event. The following show, she continued to impress by earning a Best Puppy in Show. The judge commended Dusty’s exceptional underjaw, a hallmark of her impeccable structure.

Dusty carries forward some of the finest qualities from her lineage. She  inherited her grandfather Romeo’s remarkable chest and tail set/carriage, contributing to her elegant silhouette and confident presence in the ring. From her father Deacon, Dusty boasts a gregarious and friendly temperament, making her not only a standout competitor but also a joy to be around.

After her initial successes, Dusty partnered with our son, Travis, for her next outing. Together, they achieved yet another Reserve Best Puppy in Show, demonstrating Dusty’s adaptability and charm under different handlers. We couldn’t be more proud of this dynamic duo!

What’s Next for Dusty?

Dusty’s journey is just beginning, and we’re thrilled to see where her potential takes her. With her natural talent, striking looks, and a personality that lights up the ring, Dusty is poised to continue her winning ways.

Follow along as Dusty adds new chapters to her already impressive legacy. Keep an eye on our website and social media for updates, photos, and show results. This little gem is one to watch!
