Parent dogs
Aurora, mom
Russell Terrier
About Aurora
Petite female 10 1/2 inches tall, about 13 lbs., rough coat, Tan and White. Aurora is my "Heart" dog. She is my foundation bitch, my first Russell Terrier. We have learned a lot from each other. This is her third litter and I have delivered everyone as she and I are so bonded she expects me to be her mid-wife. I showed her to her Championship myself. I promised her she wouldn't have to ever show again once she finished, she didn't like being in the ring or the grooming I'm not sure which one she hated more. She's a wonderful mother, a great companion and a snuggle bug.
