Bindy is the female I chose to keep from Allie's one and only litter as the future for CynTech Boxers. My decision was not an easy one as I could of easily kept Bindy's litter sister,
Can. Ch. CynTech Shadigee Dash Of Class (Tia), who is loved and owned by Mary Jane & Lee Nowak of Shadigee Boxers.
Unfortunately Bindy has been recently diagnosed with Canine Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) from biopsies taken during an exploratory surgery
performed at the same time as her spay surgery and from biopsies taken in an emergency surgery a few days after the initial surgery. IBD is different for each individual dog and can vary in severity from mild, to moderate, to severe and can be fatal. IBD cannot be cured and the ideal way to
control this disease is with diet (usually a veterinary prescription formula) but medication may also be necessary depending on the dog. For the moment Bindy's IBD is under control with a mostly raw diet (with some kibble), no medication is needed at this point in time (though I have some on
hand in case of a flare up) and she is now back to her normal weight. I am hopeful that she will remain healthy with no flare ups or minimal flare ups for the rest of her life as my "love bug" or "pumpkin" or "Princess Bindy" as I affectionately call her :-) I have added some very informative links
for IBD to my Links page under "Health Related Articles" if you want to read more about this condition.
Bindy lives up to the registered name I have given her as on any given day almost the entire content of toys in the toy bucket are scattered about the lower and upper floors of my house thus giving the
appearance of a "tornado" having gone through! Her call name doesn't exactly go with her registered name but I happened to be watching a rerun of the Oprah show whose guests happened to be Steve Irwin, his wife Terri and their daughter, Bindi Sue, from
"The Crocodile Hunter" (one of my favorite shows to watch). When I saw his daughter Bindi, who was 4 years old at the time the show was taped, I thought that she was the most adorable child I had ever seen. So when
I decided to give my puppies names, I felt that flashy female #2 was just as adorable as Bindi Irwin so I decided to name her Bindy (with a change to the end letter) and it seems to suit her very well :-)
Bindy's sire is the stunning, stallion of a dog, Am/Can. MBIS Ch. Summer's Dash Riprock SOM (Dash), who was sadly taken from the
Boxer world much too soon. I am very proud to be able to say that Bindy and her five littermates are a result from Dash's last naturally sired Canadian litter. I want to thank Josie and Tom O'Reilly of
Summer Boxers (Reg'd) for allowing me to breed my Ally McBeal to Dash Riprock. The future looks very promising for Bindy and her littermates.
In 2004, Bindy accumulated 8 points towards her Canadian Championship breeder/owner handled. She also had some very memorable wins that include a second place win, in a large entry of puppies, at the
Alberta Kennel Club Breeder Sweepstakes (all breeds) under judge Avis Mackie on July 30, 2004, as well as a Reserve Winners Bitch (to a 5 point win) at the Alberta Boxer Club
10th Anniversary Specialty Show under Boxer breeder judge Cheryl Robbins on July 31, 2004, breeder/owner handled!
Bindy completed her Canadian Championship by winning Winners Bitch and Best Of Winners from the Bred By class (breeder/owner handled) for 5 points under judge Patricia Gellerman, at the
Alberta Kennel Club show on February 4, 2005! Bindy is the 4th Canadian Champion for her dam, Can. Ch. CynTech's Ally McBeal (Can. Ch. Berlane's Corporate Image SOM X Malimi's New Debut For CynTech CD, ASCA CD DOM), making Allie a
Canadian Dam of Merit and is the 11th Canadian Champion for her sire, Am/Can. MBIS Ch. Summer's Dash Riprock SOM (Am. Ch. Maxl's Golden Boy SOM POM X Can. Ch. Berlane's Wild Thing Stella CD DOM POM).
In 2005, Bindy and her litter brother Can. Ch. CynTech's Mad Dash To Sherwood (Brady) won a total of 3 Best Brace In Breed, 3 Best Brace In Group, and 2 Best Brace In Specialty Shows. They
were breeder/owner handled to all these wins!
