Currently training to perfect the role as a spoiled queen.

I signed us up for beginning obedience as well as conformation classes.  Even though Mini was not a conformation dog, I thought I would learn by showing her.  I planned her debut at the Hutto show in January 2006.  I came home from work one Friday in December 2005 to find Mini hopping with one hind leg up.  I took her to my vet, then to an orthopedic vet.  Both confirmed that she had luxating patellas.  Her right leg was a grade 3 and her left a grade 2.  That ended her chances in conformation.  She had surgery on both legs on January 31, 2006 and another on her right leg March 3, 2006 to remove scar tissue.  She underwent one more minor surger on her left leg in August of 2006 to remove a pin.  At that time, she was released to return to agility training.  In addition to the structural issues, Mini also has many emotional issues, which her behaviorist vet says were inherited.  All of her trainers say she is extemely intelligent.  She LOVES training.  But, due to her emotional issues, I had to retire her.  She cannot handle the stress of long classes and gets extremely upset if she isn't perfect.  We will do light training at home just to keep her happy.  I have learned the importance of health testing and very careful breeding by owning Mini.
