Ironwater Heidi of Catawba Mountain

 

Meet Heidi - "of noble birth" – a very fitting name for a small package of great expectations.  Heidi’s sire and dam is none other than the 2 time National Racing Champion, Jacks B Quick Leggs of Ironwater and Ironwater  Nellie.

 Catawba Mountain made its first trip in over 5 years to the great State of Florida the weekend of November 30 to attend the Yuletide Terrier Trial in Zephyrhills.  On Sunday afternoon we were engaged in a conversation with the person who was beside us at ringside regarding a recent litter her parents had for sale.  She mentioned the litter had been sired by Leggs, 2004 JRTCA US National Over Racing Champion and 2005 JRTCA US National Reserve Over Racing Champion.  Since Catawba Mountain had been discussing “resurrecting our racing line” we immediately took note of this information.  We were also told that the owners of this litter were being very selective in who got these puppies, since this was the last time the dam would be bred. 

 To make a long story short, we were “approved” to have one of these wonderful pups and Heidi came home with us to Virginia.  Heidi slept her first night with us in the motel room on the way home, curled up against the pillow next to her new daddy.

 An interesting note - upon close examination of Heidi’s pedigree, it was learned that her pedigree goes back to some of the Catawba Mountain original bloodlines.  We are very excited to be able to introduce this little gal as perhaps the foundation bitch of the next Catawba Mountain racing line.

 We would like to thank the Baylor’s for entrusting us with one of their racing babies.  We feel very flattered that they allowed us to own one of their line.

Update: We measured Heidi on 1-20-08 at 3.5 months old and she is already 11.25" so she is definitely going to have her dad's height. She is also death on anything moving which makes dusting fun! She LOVES the dusting wand.
