"Puppies with a future - from dogs with a past!" |
FRITZFOX LOW BUDGET "WORTHY"
Her breeder, a UKC judge, has made a science of breeding for large, healthy litters in addition to "show" qualities and that's something we should all pay attention to!
Most Toy breeds produce small litters (many can only deliver by C-section) and breeders accept that whereas in my mind, it is a regressive genetic fault! Whether you want a dog for show and breeding, or as a beloved family pet, you want a dog that is vibrantly healthy, structurally strong and sound, and that looks like and acts like the breed you've chosen.
Read that as a "me too" and I thank Anne Kieffer for a lovely addition to the O'BJ family and for sharing her common sense/genetic sense.
I didn't complain to Anne, just told her of my decision to let Trudy go. A few weeks later she called and offered Worthy, Trudy's litter sister. I am nervous about Worthy's impending delivery but she just wags her fat butt and assures me she can handle it. I believe her, she is one of the most agreeable, grateful, and charming dogs I've ever had...
Worthy was bred to my Hugely son, U-Gene. Click his name here or up top in the Gene Bank to see him. Suffice to say, he is linebred, she is outcross but they are beautifully compatible. See Worthy's July litter! 1806 https://www.toyfoxterriersobj.com/GeneBank/Worthy.asp
