Viola was special from the very moment she was born. Our elderly whippet, Alexis (www.alexiswhippet.com) became ill the week of Viola's birth. We struggled through three months of treatment, some up and downs, but eventually had to make the decision to let Alexis go. Viola was very special because she arrived at the right time, and she looks remarkably like Alexis. In fact we almost named her Alexandra, but we wanted her to have her own identity and be her own self. 

Viola is seriously smart, and learns little "tricks" often like the basic obedience stuff, "talk", "up" (which I can only describe as dancing like a circus dog), it goes on and on. She's very patient and sweet with the other dogs, including recently her sister Rini's puppies, who she helped clean and babysit. It's nice to see that maternal instinct in a young dog.

Viola is white and blue brindle, which means she carries the dilute blue gene and is capable of producing blue puppies. We are very excited about seeing what she can produce. We have plans to breed Viola in the next year or two, when she's ready, and are hoping she will pass on her beautiful father's looks and her sweetness and intelligence. We're also hoping to get her in the show ring soon and see what the judges think of our pretty girl.
