China Doll has always been Daddy's girl who spends as much time as possible sitting on Schoie's lap. Although only shown as a baby, China did very well in Baby Puppy class until the age of 7 months when the vet amputated her tail due to injury.
China was a fabulous mother and produced some lovely puppies. Some of these have done very well in obedience such as Altisette Witches Grin as well as Altisette Perfect Storm who was the lovely much loved boy of our friends Chantelle & Andrew who was doing extremely well in the showring until a tragic accident in NT took him at a young age.
China was completely devastated at the loss of her brother and only best friend Bull, and due to her complete depression in those early days after his loss we feared she would herself die of a broken heart. China struggled like us those first couple of months and was allowed to come to work with us every day which has worked wonders for her emotionally and she now is once again happy to spend her days at home.
China has let herself find a new friend in Billy who adores her as she now does him although she will obviously never forget her beloved brother. China turned 8 in May this year and we hope to have many more happy years with her. More photos of China Doll to come soon !
