RITA

Rita was registered Seniorita Margarita, b.5/31/1999; dam: Reilloc's Taz and sire: Kelby Creek Bud Dalton. She was given up after she started escaping from an outdoor run at her former home. We're not quite sure why anyone thought she had issues because it was clear from the git go that this dog is about as well adjusted a vizsla as we have ever seen. Thanks to Audrey for getting the ball rolling, Carmen of Best Friends of Baker for getting her into foster care and down to Boise, to Jan Simer for being there for her even though Rita is several generations removed from her breeding and especially to Jackie & Ernie for letting her come into their lives and help to heal their broken hearts.

Feb 2007: Ernie, Jackie & Duke were still grieving for Holly who at just 2-yrs old lost her battle with kidney disease in January. They agreed to take Rita for few days to lighten our load when we had several other dogs needing to come in. We knew they would love Rita's rock solid recall, her outgoing personality and that she would be a playmate for Duke but we didn't know they would decide to foster her for the rest of her life!

Rita is big sister to Duke.
