Notes: 
Avery was beautiful as a junior but not as impressive as a senior on the judge's tables. I believe her body lengthen as she matured into being a senior. I did not receive her first leg from her convention win but she did earn three legs with me to receive her Grand Champion certificate. 

Unfortunately, she was not doe good for breeding; she just did not do well with her pregnancies. She gave me two nice-sized kindles but barely produced enough milk for them. Actually, she seemed bothered to even have the kits in with her and would not eat, but she was not aggressive with them. Although I had begun hand feeding her, she died within weeks of her second kindling. Fortunately, they have begun eating early and although they were small and developed slowly at first, they all did well. However, of the two kindles, the only offspring from her that caught my eye was Kieran, who looked like his sire.

I received Avery's Registation and Grand Champion certificate just days after she had died.
