We are about 2 1/2 hours west/south of St. Louis on I-44 (about 50 miles from Springfield, MO).
Ella is being sold on LIMITED AKC registration with a spay/neuter contract. I would have had her spayed by now for sure if there wasn't such a big risk with the anesthesia.
I have been talking to a wonderful lady from Long Island who may be flying in to meet Ella this weekend.
