Tia is from Nikki's second litter,
and like Lexi, the only girl in the litter.
Tia has that true Golden personality.
She loves life and everything around her. Like her mom, she is a wonderful
Retriever and is very athletic. Tia is currently being trained in obedience
but she is taking a back seat to Harley and Lexi so will not be shown
for awhile.
She has an outstanding head, nice
length of neck and a good body. She has slightly more angulation in
the rear than in the front. She has a nice, solid topline like her mom.
She could use more forechest (one of her weakest spots) and is on the
taller side for a bitch - measuring in around 22.5". She weighs
approximately 67 pounds.
Tia has been diagnosed with Lymphosarcoma on 1/23/2007 while at the vet's office for routine bloodwork to be bred. The breeding never took place. This is heartbreaking as not only is Tia not even 6, but I never got a litter from her and she was my only breedable girl directly from Nikki.
I have decided not to do chemo on Tia, instead I am treating her holistically. She had a check-up on 2/16 and is doing fine and in fact her lymph nodes seem to have shrunk some. I know my time is very limited with my baby girl but I plan to enjoy her and let her enjoy her life to the fullest.
