I had long admired many of the dogs in the pedigree of this planned breeding, which led me to contact her breeder, Dottie Grant. Because Dottie didn’t know me at first, she was quite reluctant to place a puppy with me. It turned out to be a long process involving hours of conversation, sharing photos and videos of my home, and receiving a kind word from the sire’s owner, Elena Edwards. Thankfully, Dottie finally agreed that I would be a good home for her.

Teddi was a joy in every way. She finished her championship easily, picking up some significant wins along the way, but her success in the ring was only part of the story. Most importantly, she will always hold a very big part of my heart.

Note: On the win photo, please keep the people in it. you may crop the edges but the people/win is significant and I want it visible.
