Chelsea went to Heather and Phils family in Timaru at eight weeks of age but became a very important part of our breeding program. When we lost Dylan (Chelsea's Dad) at too young an age we thought we had lost the lines we had hoped to base future generations on. However Heather decided she would like to take a litter off Chelsea, giving us the opportunity to continue our breeding program. Chelsea produced two lovely litters for us, both to Jerry (Ch Fortress Stormbringer) and produced for us Baxter (Ch Fortress The Hurricane) and Rana (Ch Fortress Matawhero Magic), as well as several other beautiful children around the SI. Chelsea had a playful nature, protecting and playing with her human children, companion to Heather and a superb mum to her puppies. Chelsea loved Jerry and when she came to visit at Fortress Kennels always made herself at home! We are very fortunate to have Heather, Phil and their family as good friends and are delighted with our acheivements together.
Sadly Chelsea died far too young at the age of 6 due to a brain anuerism. Chelsea is sadly missed by her family in Timaru and also by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. We are lucky to have many wonderful children from Chelsea to carry on her bright spark and checky ways.
