Oh Yeah, You Blend

The decision has been made.  Tish is staying.  Diziet will be going in a week and a half to a lovely family in Ottawa.  I get weepy just thinking about her leaving, but keeping both wouldn’t be fair to them.  She is a beautiful girl with a sweet, loving temperament, and I hope she will be very happy with her new family, and that they will be happy with her.  What it came down to in the end was temperament – Tish has this bold-as-brass sparkle to her that I really think screams “agility dog!”.  I have no doubt that Diziet would be a great agility dog too, but she is a bit more laid back and retiring, and will probably be a wonderful family pet.  Diziet is definitely the nicer dog conformationally, which gives me that “what if she’s the best dog I ever breed and I’m placing her!” panic.  But Tish is the one my heart wants.
