"Gracie"
Achates High Society
Ch Achates Definitely A Keeper, CGC  X  Ch Kennedy's Wild Renegater
Gracie was chosen to help carry on the Achates kennel name and she will begin her show career after her 6 month
birthday which is on 9/2/06.  Here are a few of her shots that you might enjoy.
Check back for more photos as Gracie matures.

Just a quick note on how Gracie was named.  My husband grew up in the Philadelphia area and his
parents were good friends with Jack Kelly, Grace Kelly's father.  So Grace Kelly was the babysitter of choice
when Lou and his sister Carolyn were young.  Grace was 16 years old at the time.  
Can you imagine being cared for by a  real "Princess".

So we have named Gracie in honor/memory of Grace Kelly.  Grace Kelly also stared in the movie, High Society.
