As I said last week, you can feel happy for someone, but still feel sorry for yourself. I'm really pleased that 2 of Beti's sisters, as well as every other Orin progeny health tested so far, have got 0 score elbows. I'm delighted that Abbie who is with her breeder can go on to be bred from ... but I'm gutted that Beti can't. Despite her parents and siblings results, my principals would not allow me to breed from her.
I have reservations about Meerah, which I've written and will publish at a later date, but early indications are that to continue the Blanik line we have to go back to the drawing board.
Beti is fab, full of fizz and happiness, she warms my heart and lights up every day. I will continue to love and enjoy her exuberant company without qualm or question for as long as is possible.
Don't forget it's Team Beti at Crufts next week.
