Moonswift The Countess 
"Demi"

Date Of Birth: 06.11.2002
Breeder: Diana Bowdler-Townsend, kennel Moonswift,  England
Owner:  Piia Korhonen. kennel Windy Evening, Vantaa

Height: 30,5 cm (unofficial)
Weight: 5,5 kg

When I saw Demi running around at kennel Moonswift, I fell in love. She was cutest small puppy, looked like children's toy, with naturally erected ears and fluffy face.

Demi herself wasn't thrilled about showing, but her real value showed in puppy pen. She had 3 litters under Stormblåstens prefix and each of the litter had one of my favorite male as sire. From her first litter with Ch Vellar Pljus Arsen we didn't kept any puppy, but 2 of the litter went to other breeders and are continuing the line. The second litter was sired by Ch Lemiz The Celebrity and we kept Ch Stormblåstens Nemesis Divina with breeding terms and left stud rights to one of the males. And the 3rd litter, sired by Ch M T O The Sundance Kid we kept with breeding terms one very nice hairless bitch Stormblåstens Rag Doll (1 x Fin CC)

Demi is one of those, who will be seen in future Stormblåstens pedigrees as well.

At January 2010 Demi was re-checked for her eyes again and result wasn't pleasing at all... There is some changes in her eyes, which causes that she is marked LL suspected, even her lenses are stabile. She will be re-checked in ca 6 months to see how her eyes is then. The well known and respected specialist Jalomäki said that it is not nessesarily lens luxation, because she is already 7 years and usually LL chances in the eyes can be seen as younger dog. See the eye-check form yourself (it is in english) HERE . Demi will be PLL genetested also in near future. UPDATE!!! DEMI IS PLL NORMAL / CLEAR

September 2010 Same report as in january, though minimal leakage on right eye

Tammikuussa 2010 Demillä silmien kolmannessa tarkastuksessa todettiin seuraavaa. "Demillä on molemmissa silmissä linssinripustimet heikentyneet ja osittain irrallaan, eli saatiin tuomioksi LL epäilyttävä.
Jalomäki sanoi, ettei kyse ole välttämättä linssiluksaatiosta, koska koira on jo reilu 7-vuotias ja usein LL puhkeaa jo aiemmin. Tietenkään sairastumismahdollisuutta ei voida pois sulkea. Demin silmissä ei löytynyt lasiaisvuotoa, tai -juosteita ja linssit ovat stabiilit. Toisessa silmässä on lievä trichiasis. Puolen vuoden päästä olis sitten kontrolli"
Demi tullaan testaamaan PLL geenitestillä lähitulevaisuudessa.
PÄIVITYS!!! DEMI ON PLL NORMAL / CLEAR

Syyskuu 2010 linssien ripustimet epänormaalisti näkyvissä, linssit stabiilit.Oikeassa silmässä minimaalinen lasiaisvuoto. trichiasis.

What judges have said about her?
(quotations from her critics, in some cases they're translated from original language of critic)

"Siro, hyvärakenteinen nuori narttu. kaunis pää, tummat silmät. Pitkä kaula. Erinom. raajojen kulmaukset. rintkehä vielä matala. Hyvä selkälinja. Käytös vielä tottumatonta ja ujoa- häntä ei tahdo nousta. Erittäin lupaava, kunhan saa lisää itsevarmuutta"
- Paula Heikkinen-Lehkonen, Finland
