Candlelit Etcetera

DOB 3/12/20

Breeder: Joyce Becherini (Candlelit Shelties)

​

I had been looking for a new female show prospect for about a year.  One pup after another just did not work out. I heard from good friends that I should contact Joyce about a cute little girl she had.  I did, and a few weeks later, Joyce was offering me the pick of the litter.  We drove to Wisconsin and I sat in the puppy ex-pen and Tootsie came bounding into my face!  I kept trying to put her down and check the other pups over to see who I wanted to take a chance on.  Tootsie was insistant that she was MY puppy!  After about an hour, I made it final, and told Joyce I would be taking the extremely outgoing, in your face sweet little plain jane girl home.  She handled the car ride home perfect - about 6 hours, including through a tornado warning!  She has been the perfect puppy - adapting to everything, afraid of nothing (including storms and fireworks), curious of everything new, no destructive chewing, sleeps through the night, and the only two accidents in 4 weeks were on my husband's "Watch" and his fault ;) 

​

I could not be more pleased for our future (she is also futurity nominated)!  She makes friends with everyone she meets, and everyone loves her white "tootsie" toes in front!  I had no intent to keep the name but it fit her and has grown on me.  You may hear my Dad call her Tia - don't mind him! ;)   Her registered name came from the Broadway Musical: "Tootsie" - it is one of the popular songs on the soundtrack.  It fits her personality so well - some of the lyrics are just to the right on this page (not on mobile site)!
