Russ and I were thrilled to finally meet Judith, Tooey’s breeder. We’ve been emailing some, and chatting on Facebook, but that’s not the same.
And that’s exactly why Judith came to Bothell, Washington from the far northwest corner of England. Having sent Tooey to the States, she’d been considering taking home a certain American dog. She’d seen pictures and video of the dog in question, but that’s not the same as meeting him and getting a feel for his personality and temperament. She wanted to see the dog for herself.
So Judith made the long trip from England, we drove the 4 hours north, and Colleen and Jack provided the warm hospitality. We were able to meet Judith in person, and Judith could see a grown-up Tooey, daughter of Judith’s Best-in-Show-winning Dora (aka Stanegate Sparks Will Fly).
It was a happy meeting all the way around.
Thank you, Judith and Colleen. I hope Tooey and I can keep making you proud.
[…] Tooey got her show championship a couple of weekends ago, and yesterday her breeder got to see her in all her show glory. So today, finally, there was no longer any reason to keep the show coat […]
