Ashton - Ch. Madigan's Serenity Mickey - Madigan's Tip On A Sure
Thing |

|
Ashton was one of a litter of 7 from Caitlin's second
litter, born before dawn just a couple of hours after we had returned home
after having to rush an also pregnant Ligier to the vet for an emergency
C-section. Caitlin and Ligier weren't supposed to be due on the same day,
but I guess they had their own plans!
Ashton finished her championship easily, and produced 3 litters for us. She's the mom of champions Yancey, Amanda, and Rascal. She became a grandmother in 2001 when her daughter Yancey had her first litter. Ashton is a strong willed independent type, a trait her kids seem to have inherited, but she is also a sweet, affectionate dog who takes everything in stride. |

Mickey is almost exactly a year older than Ashton, from
Caitlin's first litter. She was shown a bit and is pointed towards her
championship, however she decided she really HATED dog shows so we decided
not to force the issue. She LOVES people and has appointed herself the
official greeter at our home. If you come to visit you will most
definitely have to say hello to Mickey, and she'll likely insist you
continue saying hello to her for the duration of your visit!
Addendum: On November 13, 2003, Mickey passed away due to cancer, at age 12 1/2. She will be missed. Sadly just 4 short weeks later we also said goodbye to dear sweet Ashton, on December 11, 2003, at age 11 1/2. |
