Kaczara Farm Becalmed Bonita or "Bonnie" was my sweet, loving premier breeding mom. She recently was tragically hit on the road in April 2014. IT was devastating, at not quite 8 yrs old and still very active. I miss her terribly but her lovely pups live on. I waited till she was 4 yrs old, hips and elbows OFA certified, and I knew of her behavior and temperament prior to breeding and selecting a proper sire. She is about 23" tall and 75# with a reddish golden color, which lightens in summer. Prematurely Grey around her face, she will have a white face soon!. Her first litter of 8 pups was a success and all placed in loving homes (see pictures later) She romps with Beau and our new Maehlie, and is a wonderful mother. She loves to retrieve and be petted. Her 2nd litter at 6 yrs old, is wonderful and 12! She is taking care of them well, with a little help.
Her 2nd litter at age 6 to Beau was 12! and she did great ( I helped a little with goats milk!) all doing great.
*Bonnie's 3rd and last litter was to Beau again with 11! Wow what a champion she is! We have figured out how to minimize the hair coat blowing and now is doing great and again supplementing a little with goats milk! She will retire now and go back to being a pet and the head dam out here! I purchased Dancer , another female pup to grow and replace her (so to speak) summer in 2013. look for more photos to come. She has earned her retirement!
