Five years ago, I lost my little girl, Ashley, close to her seventeenth birthday. We were waiting for the right time to bring another little one into our lives. We knew from past experience that we would open our hearts completely to another baby, so that wasn't a concern. Almost two years later, three year old Katie came into our lives, and our house is now a home again. We were very lonely and unhappy during those two years. With the help of our two close YT friends, who I love dearly, and a wonderful breeder from Aurora (just north of Toronto), Katie joined our family and completely stole our hearts. We could not believe how well adjusted Katie was and how much she helped to heal our hearts. We will always love and miss Ashley and her sisters, but we also have fallen so head over heals in love with Katie. She has the most wonderful disposition and is such a happy little girl. It's so apparent to see that so much love and time was given to her, and she is so impeccably trained.
My two dear friends also have dogs from her breeder, Ilona Rodionova . One, Gemy, has trained with Ilona for about eight years and her little boy, Razzle, is a Canadian and American Champion and now U.S. Grand Champion. She and Jacquelinebabco told us that Ilona was retiring Katie early, and Jackie drove to the Canadian border to get Katie for me. It was very difficult for Ilona to give up her much loved Katie, particularly to a home so far away, but with Gail's recommendation, Ilona entrusted her little girl to me. Jackie has since gotten her little QueTee from Ilona, and she is a little doll. I could not be happier with Ilona and Rigair. She epitomizes what it is to be a responsible, ethical show breeder who breeds for excellent health, conformation, and temperament. She also does agility and obedience with her dogs. This is a link to her website, and the second link is my Katie. She is everything that Ilona described on her webpage and in all of my talks with her and so much more. Her love of Katie is so easily felt whenever I speak with her.
