Willa de la Tierra Alta

In Memoriam

"Pastora De La Tierra Alta 1/1/01 - 9/17/14 My Beloved Friend.

She lived a very long life and we loved her so. Kim C."

Age 13 years & 9 months.

"This is a big loss for me although I have other dogs. There is just something so heartfelt about this breed, and Pastora inparticular. You breed your dogs so well Karin that her ripe age of 13 and 9 months is a reflection on the good breeding." - KimC.
