Echo, formerly known as "Lite Brite" was a masterfully intelligent puppy with energy to spare. We were sad to see her go, but knew she had a great home with Val!

She is a gem! With all of Echo's exuberance, she has managed to strain her hips...we hope! She is showing some of the signs of hip dysplasia, tho. Therefore, for the last 4 wks. she has been getting acupuncture, chiropractic adj. and homeopathic remedies to ensure a speedy recovery. Aug. 21 she is booked for spay and Xray of hips and spine. Her exercise has been reduced to swimming, alot and running on the flat fields only, with no sky jumping, flips, or ?? that she seems to want to throw into her everyday frenzy. She looks like "Fizz's" McNab twin while retreiving in the river. Drag racing with him is so much fun. Curtailing her exercise has been a hard task for her so her best friend "Riot" JRT has been doing a wonderful job keeping her happy doing flat chases. What a team they make. They are almost inseparable. Our vet was most worried about trying to do acupuncture on her. After all, she WAS a very worried and reserved girl. NO MORE, as she has been settling in marvelously and is quite happy to enjoy the attention given her during each treatment. She has been the star of the party. All in all, she is a very special little girl that is growing up into the gem that she is. We love her dearly.
