We had two of her pups already, and Gracie was only a year older than our oldest, Ashley. There was always something a little more special and unique about Gracie--not just her beauty, but a temperament I had never experienced in my lifetime of having multiple dogs. She was very friendly, but she was a little shyer because she didn't have as much socialization as Kiwi and Ashley.
After we lost all three (Ashley was very close to 17), we waited almost two years to bring another baby into our lives. Katie is such an amazing little girl with such a wonderful temperament. She was raised in a home setting by an outstanding show hobby breeder who is also a world class trainer. Katie finished her championship at fifteen months in four shows, but I'm sure that helped in her socialization. Katie absolutely loves people! She was used to many trips to the park to play, road trips, and play time outside in their backyard. Katie was retired early from breeding at the age of three, and she is the happiest, most loving, and confident little girl. Seeing how easily she adjusted to her new home and how confident Katie is, I can tell how much love she was given by her first mom. Katie has really brightened our hearts and our home.
I wish you the kind of happiness from your two little babies that Katie and her Rainbow Bridge sisters have brought to our lives. I can't wait to watch them grow up and hear the joy you will have with them. |
Aw....thank you! I loved reading this! The little boy's story sounds similar to Gracie's except I believe he is going to end up being larger than what she needed. According to charts he will most likely be around 5.5lbs, but could be bigger than that of course. She described his temperament very similar! She said he is extremely sweet natures, smart, and eager to please, and he is a little on the shy side, but warms up quickly and gives lots of kisses. She said he uses his little paws a lot so she has been working on teaching him to shake. His personality description actually matches my human girls!
