After many years of admiring the LakeShore herd we and beyond excited to finally add a LakeShore animal to our herd in 2015! After seeing *B CH LakeShore Ace Bellagio at the 2014 ADGA Convention we knew we wanted to introduce that consistent "total package" pedigree along with style that he has into our herd. So we went with the obvious choice, SGCH LakeShore Perfect Bellissima 7*M (05-02) VEEE 91 who was bred to an outstanding buck who is a 3/4 sibling to my of my favorite does owned by LakeShore, SGCH J&R Spirit's LFS Korrine 3*M (07-05) EEEE 91. It was no surprise when Bellissima won National Reserve Champion, Best Udder of Breed and Total Performer at the 2015 National Show just a few months after Katerina made her journey to the East Coast. 

While Katerina was a beautiful kid, she is an even prettier milking yearling! Long, tall and wide with a capacious mammary system, with well attached rear, fore and lateral attachments and beautiful texture. She has been undefeated as a milking yearling this year and handily won her National Show class in Harrisburg, PA. She is also quite productive having a very steady lactation. As a two year old she's looking even better and milking just as well. Unfortunately Katerina has had a few bumps in the road in 2017 and was not able to be shown and was dried off early. She came back strong in 2018 and her first show out was the District I Specialty Reserve Grand Champion (to a herdmate) and appraised well considering everything this doe has been through in the last year! We are excited to say she now has a son residing in the LakeShore Nubians herd in California.
