Today is a special day for me because of these two wonderful girls. In 2006 we bought them from a breeder in Ohio they were outside in a pen with 8 inches of matted fur (straw mixed in) their nails were so long they were curled into the pads of their feet and their ears had a hard ball of black goo and hair in each one. I had no idea who I was getting but it didn’t matter, they were Patti Sue, Citori and Jacks mother or Aunt. Both were nothing more than breeding stock (2 years old) but too much trouble as they needed maintenance other breeds did not. How fortunate for us. I’m so glad I was able to give them seven years of being a pampered pet, what they gave me in return was worth so much more! If you are in a position to rescue PLEASE DO!! Every dog deserves a second chance at a loving home😥 they are so very grateful to have the home they SHOULD have gotten the first time around😘
