Rumor - Family.... Rumor is a wonderful blend of the old Flintridge lines with other great dogs from Melody, Heatherhill, and Tri-Ivory. She is the daughter of the Multiple Best in Show and Best in Speciality show winner, Big E (Ch. Tri-Ivory Make A Big Wish) and wonderful dam, Terra Jean (Ch. Melodys Full of Surprises). I truly believe that Rumor is the very best of both her parents.
Big E was one of the first "show" Aussies I had every seen and he simply took my breath away. Later that year, I met Terra Jean and fell in love with her expressive face and incredibly sweet, silly nature. When Cathy told me that she was breeding Terra Jean to Big E, I begged her to be put on the list for a blue girl. When Rumor popped out, it was quite literally a "surprise"! With an umbilical tear threatening her life, I found myself on the way to the vet with a minutes old puppy in my hands as I tried to hold the tear together and Cathy stayed behind to whelp puppies. Later, she told me that "the life you saved may become your own" and she held true to that promise by allowing Rumor to be my little dream dog. I will be forever grateful.
