Edith Ann

nWhen Edith Ann was around 3 weeks old, it became apparent that she and her red sister Ember had a different sire than the other 9 puppies, who had unquestionably been sired by a son of the dam from an earlier litter. Edith and Ember's sire had a smooth coat and large prick ears. Since Edith Ann has a lot of terrier characteristics and personality (digs, runs like a rat terrier, is tenacious, wants to catch small game), we think her sire must have been a terrier mix of some sort.

nWe picked up Edith Ann on February 27, 2013 and she went to her first puppy manners class in March. She is about to start her 5th class to earn her CGC later this month. She is a happy, smart, fun-loving girl who is the perfect playmate to dogs of all sizes and ages. Her favorite game is disc dogging, and we will train for competition this spring. We are also going to train for agility and rally. She is easy to train (especially when I bring out the Quickies... she will do anything for Quickies!) and just amazes me with her love of learning.

nWe have an older Aussie mix, Vladi, also from that same rescue. He was a bit grumpy about having a rowdy puppy bouncing around and made sure she knew he didn't want her near him. For about 3 weeks, as he napped under the computer desk in my office, she would inch closer and closer to him. If she got too close, he would growl and she would stay where she was. One day I looked under the desk and saw she was sleeping with her little head on his big fuzzy butt. A few days later her playful persistence paid off and they started playing. I cried with joy when I saw that. They are good friends now, and Edith Ann knows when he is hurting and will not bother him. But she is always ready to play if he is up to it.

nI have had many dogs over the years, but Edith Ann is special. She is very intuitive and empathetic, which I admire so much. She's a snuggler and a sweet little thing, and she's naughty as most puppies are. I adore Edith Ann!
