As of today, Nigella has officially been classified as a "Breeder" for Guide Dogs for the Blind in San Rafael, California. She left us in October 2011 and it has taken this long for her to pass all the medical and temperment tests. She was probably one of the most beautiful of the 13 dogs we've raised to become guides, but not always the most obedient (after she left we found out that it wasn't Johanna that was chewing everything up!). Anywhere we took her we got comments on how beautiful she was. When we were walking, people would screech to a halt to talk to us. She had the softest coat and a very quiet demeanor. I used to say ... "Nigella was born old" because she was so laid back. We will think about possibly raising a "little Nigella" down the road as we get to choose from one of her litters.
Nigella was always so good with Johanna that both Scott and I know she will make a GREAT MOM!!!
She did have an amazing coat ! Her tail was a giant blonde ringlet. She will have beautiful babies!
