Leaveslake Viva La Diva of Granardal Jun Ch JD was born on 21st July 2007 and came over to Ireland at the end of September. Looking like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, Diva is a sweatheart and has, so far, never put a paw wrong so was a model puppy.

However, now she is a naughty teenager she has come out of herself and takes delight in beating up Deccy at every opportunity which he accepts with good humour, and takes balls and sticks out of his mouth on walks. She is a lot quicker over the ground and often "body slams" poor Deccy but he gets his own back when he's had enough!

Diva is the second Dalmatian to gain the Junior Diploma title behind Deccy, and the first in Ireland to be awarded Junior Champion under the new, FCI rules.

She is a delight to own, very loving and intelligent although these days not above some normal Dally naughtiness whenever my back is turned. She always greets the neighbouring ponies by shoving her head through the gate and licking their noses when they appear, luckily they don't mind!
