                        | My 
                            wish for keeping a daughter of Avik came true when 
                            I brought little Babette at home. She was the only 
                            female in the litter of 8, a very small girl from 
                            the start, so "Babette" seemed like a name 
                            on place for her. She was the cutest pup with big 
                            eyes and amazing expression. I named her after a night 
                            creature from the movie Labyrinth, who had the same 
                            big eyes like her.They became best friends with Avik, first time they 
                            met. Avik was taking care of her and watching over 
                            her like if he knew that she was his little daughter.
 Babette never enjoyed shows much, so I decided to 
                            end her career in Junior Class. By the time she was 
                            11 months old, she finished 2 Junior Championship 
                            titles and 1 Jugendklubsiegerin title.
 
 Babette is a very gentle girl, but at the same time 
                            very focused and strong if needed. She is a very good 
                            example of a boxer female - kind, feminine, stable, 
                            brave and she's also an excellent mother. She is a 
                            very smart girl too - able to adapt and find solutions 
                            very quickly.
 Babette 
                            had only one litter until now. I'm planning for her 
                            to be a mother 2, maybe 3 more times. Hope that she 
                            will have a lot of pleasure nursing all her next litters, 
                            as much as she had with her first - "U" 
                            litter.
 
 She will always remind me of her dad. Only now, when 
                            he's gone, I can see how much she resembles him.
 I’m very happy that Babette is with me.

 On 17/06/2010 we had to say goodbye to our dear Babette, 
                            too soon and unexpected. Cancer.
 Sleep now my little mouse. I miss you.
