Gracie has a long flowing coat and a topknot but only because her mom insists. I guess having two daughters that out grew the dress stage at age 6 I was determined to have my little girl in Gracie. I'm sure she would much rather be out chasing rats down a hole. I wonder how these little dogs got such long coats when they were bred to kill vermin? I don't know but Gracie thinks she is a tough little thing and I spend a lot of time trying to convince her that she is not!
