Shelby was the first dog in, 63 years, I've raised from a puppy, she was 8 weeks old when we got her. Being the runt of the litter she already had a small tear in her left ear. She was a terror for the first year and a half. You couldn't take your eyes off of her as she wanted to eat everything.

She was not one of those dogs who liked her crate, once she got too big to get in the crate we decided to try her loose in the house while we were gone. I had visions of the house being torn up when we got home but from the very first time it was like she wasn't there. I think she just laid down on her bed and waited for us to get home.

We lost her on December 23rd 2015 of unknown causes (possibly a heart attack) We miss her greeting us at the door when we get home...
