Josy had a very hard start into life.
Her heart was placed more on her right side than on the left. But it took some weeks until we had found that out.
After 11 days she suddenly she got chocking fits and were not able to drink. Several vets thought that she had a pneumonia because she could have swallowed the wrong way. So Josy had been filled up with medicine.
Not before we have stopped all medicine and she could drink artifitial milk herself, the chocking fits happened less often and stopped finally.
We guess that by the wrong placement of the heart everything else had not had room enough and that the organs were "sortet" later.
This are Jarvis and Josy with app. 3 weeks.
Josy developed splendidly! But I didn' dare to breed from her because I was frightend that her heart couldn't cope the strain.
Beside several titels she went 5 x best low legged Terrier and 2 x best in show.
This picture shows her on her last show in Münster,November 2002 where she was BOB.
Shortly after that unforutunately she got lymph node cancer. This was particularly hard: Her heart had hold out that long and now this!
This battle we were not able to win! Josy died on 01.07.03 at the age of 7,5 years.
