planalto portuguese water dogs, puppies

To say that Glennie is "special" would be an understatement. She is the first dog that I kept from litters that I have bred. The only girl sired by her father in 15 years. Who by the way died 10 years before she was born. She was conceived with 18 year old frozen semen. Both of her parents were multi- best in show and her daddy is the cover boy for the book about our breed. She and her brother were the only two in the litter, and had to be delivered by c-section, hand raised for the first 7 days of their lives because their poor mom thought they were aliens because she never went into labor to have them. She went into surgery and came out with two very big squaking puppies. Glennie being the loudest. Glennies' personality and antics are so much like her mother its unbelievable to me. She is a very big girl.. measuring a tad under 21 inches and about 53 pounds all of which greets me daily with a bounding leap. She is the clown of the group, very athletic, big boned, muscular, but has a very loving, shy side that keeps her out of too much trouble with her daily antics.
