 A NEW ARRIVAL IN THE NETHERLANDS!


Thornapple Double Jeopardy "Alex"
arrives safely in the Netherlands - November 15th!
CONGRATULATIONS Petra & Bas Mostert on your beautiful new boy!
Alex is sired by Ch Thornapple King Of Stars.  His dam is Thornapple Black Ice.
He is 6 months old!  Petra reports in!
I just sit down on the seat after a long day at the airport and the preparation on tomorrow's show.
Alex arrived safely and in good condition with no delay on Amsterdam airport this morning. After
check in by Animal Hotel I get the necessary papers to go to customs. While waiting one of the
young girl stewards passed by and asked me --
Is that black tri Australian Shepherd yours?  I
told her yes, what's happened? 
Do you have more dogs? Yes, I have 7.  Why? This one is showing
teeth and needs a hard hand to handle.
I thought oops...but still I didn't see Alex. Later a steward
came with Alex on the bench. I saw him for the first time alive. I thought to myself YAHOO what a
GORGEOUS BOY!!! I sit down on my knees and we had directly a lick. He give me loads of kisses!!
Talking direct to the steward -- what's happen? showing teeth? Young girls don't have the patience
to sit down and relax the dog. They want to do things fast fast fast.

NOTE PETRA --- ALEX WAS SMILING!!!!!!
So I collect Alex and drive 1.5 hours home, back home by the other dogs. It goes perfect - no stress-
nothing at all.  He is very relaxed and in love with Paisley because she came in heat yesterday.

But anyway, we are glad that you send us again so BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS boy who give us lots of
love and results because he stands like a house!  Attached are photos.   Petra
We are HAPPY to hear Alex arrived safe & sound Petra!
Thank you for the photos and update!
  
Alex joins fellow Thornapples Sydor & his sister Paisley (left)!
