4:55 am 170 gr. double dewclaws

Birta was a little girl and very lively, she unfortunately had a very badly curled tail and it stood straight up in the air just as it is in the photo. This is a funny trait it seems to usually skip a generation, her grandfather had this type of tail and her grandchildren also got it. She was sweet though, very cute and was a good friend to her first owner, a young girl who was in a wheelchair. Birta had a bit of a habit of barking when excited and she loved to play and as so often can happen her owner became too busy with studies and a boyfriend to care for her. The parents decided to do the best thing for her and find her a new home (I went to see her with a friend of mine and took this photo). Birta went to a farm where there was an older male dog already. It was a very nice dog that had never had progeny. Long story short they had puppies together, three beautiful puppies, one had double dewclaws on three legs and the other two had strong doubles. One of these puppies ended up in a show/breeding home and is now one of the most famous Icelandic Sheepdogs ever in Iceland. His name is Int.IS Ch Hektor and I have used him for one litter with Stjarna's half sister Frigg. Birta wasn't x-rayed for hip dysplasia because she was hit by a car and died shortly after her litter left. So obviously she had her one "touch of fate" litter that she would have never had if she had of stayed with her first owner. They say God works in mysterious ways.
