Maddi is our "purple" girl from our M&M3 litter. She almost went to live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, but luckily for us, Jason and Shannon decided to take our Peach Keen girl although it was a tough decision for them. Shannon still has a special feeling for our Maddi.

Maddi began her show career in January 2005 and what a great first show event she had in Hutto, Texas for the IABCA show. She did everything but win Best In Show. Due to an injury, I had my very good friend, Jessica, show her and they made a great team. Maddi earned her first puppy championship that show weekend.

Maddi's second show event came the 4th of July weekend, again in Hutto and again with IABCA. She took Best of Breed Puppy all four shows and took Group 2's and Group 3's after that. Not quite as successful as our first show experience, but she again earned her next level Puppy Championship. Again, Jessica showed Maddi, three of the four shows, with me showing her in one of them.

Maddi is so very loveable but easily gets her feelings hurt. She is constantly under something when she is resting whether it be the little shed outside that she dug a huge hole under, the portable storage building, or even my bed (and she really has to squeeze to get in and out from under there. . LOL) She loves the water as do all our M&M's. . .they take after their dad. . . And she loves belly rubs by Joe.

Maddi enjoys going places even though she usually gets carsick on the way to wherever we are going. We recently made a trip to Houston for a small Shiloh get-together. We took Maddi, Krissi & Kaci and they all had a great time with the other Shilohs and all the people and children they met that afternoon.

I will be working with her to get her ready to certify as a Delta Society Therapy Dog later this year and then next year when she is old enough she will take her mother's place in our breeding program as long as all her health testing comes back good. She will be getting her eyes and heart certifications in January 2006 and then she will also be getting her hips done sometime prior to that. Elbows will be done at 2 years of age.
