The X Litter Was Something That Came About Through Careful Planning and
Pedigree Research.
Not really, the day Gracie arrived in
Lewiston and Odie saw her it was love at first sight. The only puppy Odie
ever liked. He was always following her around the yard and making sure
she was okay and teaching her how to catch chipmunks and squirrels. When
Gracie started coursing it became obvious that she was very, very good and since Odie had already declared his opinion, we went ahead and decided not
to spay Gracie but breed her.
December 27th 1996 was the big day. At about 3:00pm (when Doug and Bob were not home) Gracie decided she was tired of being fat and slow and began having the puppies. Phone calls were made and the guys arrived just in time to see the first of the puppies arrive. Odie was a basket-case, he kept asking to go out and then in, he was pacing the floor (actually it was quite funny to watch all the men in the house having nervous breakdowns).
Cathy Sanderson came to watch and see what colours were going to happen and just as she got there there Gracie had this big, big bitch. The puppy wasn't breathing right away so I brought her up to my face and started rubbing her with a towel. As soon as I started rubbing the puppy, she got her breath and started to growl, not whimper but growl. Donna and Cathy both said you better take that one she has attitude. Well sure enough I kept that big, big bitch and she turned into my 18-1/2" 24 lb running machine.
Given the honorary title of "Farm Dog" by Shannon Cleary because of her big mouth and second call
name of "Skunky" due to her habit of
rolling in anything stinky or smelly. The growling puppy has grown up into
a wonderful dog.
Xena's plans for the future all came to a crash once we found out her mother had Addisons disease. Xena has been spayed and now spends her time running at field trials and just plain old running the house.
Like Worf, Xena has been retired and she spends her days sleeping in "her bed" only coming out to chase squirrels eat meals and the new trick chasing Quinn.
