here's a blog that someone did yesterday, she's blogging in Estonian language.
LOL I had to look it up. Everad's grandfather (no relation to this litter) was born in Latvia, how cool is that!
Grace x Everad's first litter I heard from a gal in Europe that her standard poodle was related to Grace (cousins). That was fun too. She was writing a book I was suppose to get ... hmm.
