I just have to brag Y'all! Grace called over a year ago.........she wanted to bred her bitch to one of my boys. Told her it wouldn't happen till her bitch was OFAed. She waited and the bitch OFAed Good and clear elbows.......their were times that she swayed to the German bred dogs........but I got her back. She had a HORRIBLE experience with a breeder that bred her then year old bitch to her Champion. The pups had problems and the stud owner never returned the calls. Her new bitch came in to season........she was clear of everything and I bred her. She had 11 pups and 9 survived. God love her Grace, aka the Grasshopper listened to me all the way. She placed all the pups in wonderful homes.........and she went the mile in socializing the pups.......and doing TOTALLY right by them. Well today Amy and I got a look at the little bitch she kept.........and my oh my is she a looker! We were all doing the happy dance for sure! Good things DO happen when you mentor someone.............my Grace did good for a Grasshopper............Mo ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2004.
