Arrival Story:
After my previous Cocker Spaniel passed away, I knew I wanted another. I found a wonderful breeder online that specialized in Black and White Parti Cockers. She only had one female for sale so I had to act quick. I didn't have time to drive 6 hours to see this puppy so I sent her my deposit puppy unseen. I now owned a puppy I hadn't even seen. There was no turning back. It turned out to be the best crazy thing I've ever done. Shelby is the most beautiful, smart, caring, etc., dog ever.

Bio:
Shelby's mom, Katie, was featured on Animal Planets "That's My Baby."
