Lily and Louise came from a breeder on Whidbey who has been at it for 40 years. She mainly breeds for shows, and Lily was a showgirl who retired with a bunch of medals before we got her. Louise was deemed un-show-worthy, a mere birthing vessel. The breeder, who has about 20 dogs at any given time living in her house, has developed a recipe for dogs that are, she admits, fairly dumb. She says they are easier to control because they go along to get along with the herd.
Gratuitous pic of Louise. Note the halo of hair around her face.
