Sara with Devonia (Mum) and Quirino with Devonia (Dad) had a further litter of 1 puppy born on 31st December 2007. Devonia's Altivita (Morse).
Introducing Devonia's Altivita. DOB 31.12.07.. Sara's third and final litter produced one dog puppy. Unfortunately this puppy had a very precarious start to life and had "Puppy Strangles" (For information on this disease please see Morse's page). He was extremely ill but managed to pull through after months and months of treatment. He did not go out into the big wide world until he was over six months of age as he could not have his inoculations until he was fully recovered. He attended his first Championship Show at Paignton & District Fanciers Association where he managed a Best Puppy in Breed and Reserve Best Dog.
