We are up to our eyeballs in the senior generation - and wouldn't do it differently! What a pleasure to see the ex-show dogs, the dogs-that-didn't-turn-out-but-the-right-home-never-came-by, the dogs that stole your heart without ever being a show dog and are such a joy to be with still..............we have Buster who's 13 now, Ida who's nearly 12 (one month away), Elton and Jessie who are 11, Ferguson who will be 10 in November - all by our Gus, who passed at 13, and all still so strong and healthy - we are truly blessed and so very thankful. The seniors gave us and give us joy every single day of our lives. Perhaps we have done them a disservice by not placing them, advertising and looking for a home for them, but we couldn't live with ourselves if we placed them and found them to be mistreated, not cared for, ignored, or abandoned. It's why we don't breed very often at all. But we cherish each and every dog that finds a home with us until they pass on. It's who we are, for good or for bad.
