Tova is very soft natured, loving and sometimes shy. She does not like strangers, and takes a while to warm to them, and for this reason she does not enjoy the show-ring. She has got excellent qualities, but she was never finished to champion. We tried to show her again when she came to us, but she did not enjoy it at all and we decided to retire her from showing - which is very unfortunate because we really think that because of her quality she deserved to be showed to champion. Tova recently gave birth to two puppies (C-litter). Both is of excellent quality and shows a lot of promise. She is now fully retired from showing and breeding!!
Tova left us for the Rainbow bridge recently. Unfortunately she suffered from very bad seizures (as a result of heart failure) the past couple of months and we had to let her go. :-( Run free old girl!!
