Ellie is my oldest at 11 years. She is mother to my Terra. Ellie missed twice when mated and when Cooper arrived I used him as a last chance. She was 5 and had to have a c-section but produced 3 beautiful puppies. Terra and her brothers Harry and Poo-dog. Harry is working his way up the agility grades and Poo-dog is deeply loved by his groomer owner. As she had to have a section Ellie was never bred from again and she has subsequently been sapyed. When she was spayed Dolly had just had puppies and I think Ellie thought that the last time she had stitches in her tummy she had puppies so for a while she thought Dolly's puppies were hers!
