Having a Houston daughter, she was and produced good hips (elbows were not screened back then). Being a very real new and raw newbie at the time I saw "old dog" Jezzy as a 9 week old puppy, her movement blew me away. (Bty... She hated the confirmation ring at first and excelled in the sheep field despite me). And having seen Houston (at Linda's and her Mom's home in CA, down the road from me) I saw a dog which took my breath away... His full sister! Well Linda would not sell her out right, but would consider a co-ownership. We could discuss it in more detail in Perry. Well, Houston was lost before we could meet. With the loss of Houston, Linda wanted to keep his sister. I respected her choice. I would have done the same. Nancy Webb SW Florida Ps: old dog Jezzy lived well beyond 13 years old.
