Bitch : Maddie - 7 Feb 2003

Kennel Name: U-R-A-Cutie of Heidessa 03152-2003

A strong red coat with little white feet. She has pricked ears & they looked huge for her body when she was little.

We call her Our Foxy lady because she is pretty & looks like a fox.

She is a very good watch dog & normally the first to alert us to visitors. She was quite timid as a young pup but after lots of love & attention she is now pretty gutsy. She is still a little reserved with strangers but doesn't take long to come round. The quietest of all our dogs & we enjoy that attribute in her.

As far as the pack goes, she has been quite content to be at the bottom of the hierarchy however will defend her cuddles & food quite strongly!! It will be interesting to see if she lets young Charlie higher up the pack than her. She is a real smooch & enjoys her cuddles. She is last up on the bed in the mornings for a cuddle & puts her head on your pillow & really snuggles in.

She has quite a strong eye & loves to round up our sheep. Once in the yards she is very reluctant to leave them! She is also the only one brave enough to bite at the heels of our highland coo's. Somehow she finds a way to get to us if we are doing anything that has to do with moving stock. She has a very determined streak in her. She demolished & broke through the cat door one time when she was on heat in her attempt to come for a walk with us!! There was NO WAY she was going to be left behind.

Maddie & Jasper had their first litter in September 04. Maddie was a wonderful mother & we had a great bunch of good looking pups. It has really settled her down & it has made her a lot more relaxed dog. Her second litter was an absolute breeze.
