Robin and Thomas

Robin came today to pick up Thomas. They left to head back to Virginia where Thomas will be a companion to Ch. Surry's No Doubt at Castlewood. Robin thinks that Thomas' name should either be Surry Why Doubt at Castlewood or Surry Never Doubt at Castlewood. She wants to have a part of Gwen's name in there since Stella and Gwen are full sisters. Gwen finished her Ch. but Robin decided not to breed her since she loved Gwen so much that any risk to her wasn't worth the anxiety. That is something that breeders face every time that they do a breeding. I've often questioned my judgement in putting my girls through a whelping since it can be so hard (and even deadly) for them. I'm planning to slow down with breeding eventually, especially as I get more breeds in the sporting group to judge. I think that there comes a time that all the anxiety takes its toll. For now, though, Robin has her Thomas and is very happy. Here' s hoping that he follows in his dam's, sire's, aunt's and uncle's pawprints.
