NEWS & EVENTS
BELLE CAME TO US FROM A TERRIFIC BREEDING PROGRAM AS A SELECT PUPPY. OUR DREAMS WERE TO GROW HER OUT AND SEE HER MATURE INTO A TOP CONFORMATION & PERFORMANCE DOG.
IN OUR HASTE TO LET HER SIMPLY GO THROUGH HER GROWING STAGES, WE ATTEMPTED TO LEVEL OUT HER TAIL CARRIAGE BY MODIFYING MUSCLE MEMORY THROUGH SPLINTING.
WE TOOK SOME VERY BAD ADVICE FROM SOMEONE "KNOWLEDGEABLE" IN THE BREED WHICH LED TO A DISASTEROUS INFECTION THAT RESULTED IN THE MEDICALLY NECESSARY AMPUTATION OF HER TAIL.
THE SURGERY RESOLVED THE INFECTION AND BELLE HAS LONG SINCE HEALED.
MANY OF US MAKE SOME REALLY BAD DECISIONS IN OUR LIVES.
THIS WAS THE MOST DISASTEROULSY STUPID MISTAKE I'VE EVER MADE WITH ANY DOG I'VE EVER HAD.
TO SAY THAT IT WAS SHATTERING TO US WOULD BE A GROSS UNDERSTATEMENT.
SHE IS NOTHING SHORT OF GORGEOUS.
THE HEARTBREAK OF WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN HAUNTS US EVERYDAY.
BELLE HAS BEEN GOING TO VARIOUS PERFORMANCE CLASSES SINCE WE GOT HER. SHE IS CURRENTLY TRAINING IN AGILITY , OBEDIENCE AND RALLY..
HER FIRST TARGETED TITLE WILL BE CANINE GOOD CITIZEN.
WE WILL THEN CONTINUE TO AN OBEDIENCE TITLES AND THEN MAKE A RUN
AT AGILITY TITLES.
SHE WILL THEN BEGIN HER INTRODUCTION TO TRACKING.
BREEDING
BELLE IS NOW 3 1/2 YRS OLD AND IS EXPECTING HER FIRST LITTER. SHE HAS
ALL 4 MAJOR HEALTH CERT'S HIP/HEART/EYE/ELBOW CLEARANCES.
WE ARE DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE OUR PLANED LITTER.
WE EXPECT A LOVELY LITTER BASED ON THE BEAUTIFUL PEDIGREES AND WONDERFUL TEMPERMENTS OF THIS BREEDING.
BAILEY AND BELLE ARE BOTH FINE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE BREED.
