tribute to little "Elite"

[workingmalinois]

 

Got the very sad news that little A'Tim daughter Elite died of leptospirosis.
She had her puppy vaccinations and was supposed to get the definitive vaccinations next week.
Nevertheless she got the disease.  The vet did what he could but no use.

She was such a promising little puppy 

This is her just 2 weeks ago doing bitework:

Be careful with Lepto. I hear about more and more cases during last few years and also vaccinated adult dogs.

Sorry to hear about Elite, having a malinois about the same age, makes it home.

Yes, very sad indeed.
She was only 12 weeks old.

Even worse is that she was SO promising 
As you can see on the video, she was doing pretty long attacks already, with stick and without a leash to support her, at the age of 10 weeks and she showed incredible courage.  Very strong and independant character.

Fortunately there are 2 of her brothers and 1 sister that still are in Belgium and doing very good too.
The other puppies of the litter are in Italy and in Switzerland.

She'll be missed

Sorry to hear about your loss. Really sad to lose a female pup with so much potential.


Good luck,

Sorry to hear about Elite.  It's always hard to loose a dog, but especially a pup that showed such promise.
