Beacon Hill’s Tidal Wave CDX CWDX TDIA
“Figo”
6/13/01 - 12/29/06

Figo was our first PWD. We asked his breeder, Debbie Gressle, for a family pet and therapy dog. She chose the perfect puppy for those jobs. However, Figo didn’t stop there. He took us to places, like water work and serious obedience, we never dreamed of going. His sudden early death from lymphoma was, and still is, devastating. He was not our last PWD, but he was likely the best.

 

Champion Bantry B & B Bantry
“Izzy”
5/29/96 - 9/8/07

You left us too soon, but we have so many wonderful memories: Our trips to Hatteras, Sunday rides to see the sheep at a nearby farm, playing ball and taking your victory runs only when you caught it. Most of all, you gave us a part of you in Sockratease, SuzieQute, Cappy, and Zeus.

 

AKC/UKC Ch. KPort Ruff Sport of CnSand AWD NA CGC TDI AOM BROM
“Rugby”
3/10/95 - 2/3/08

Rugby epitomized the motto, "Attitude is Everything". He had a certain presence that was obvious even when he was a young puppy. If you had the opportunity to meet Rugby, you never forgot him. He was an amazing mover, with tremendous reach, drive, and carriage. I was lucky to be able to call him mine. I miss his sense of humor, his enthusiasm, and even how annoying he could be when he wanted something and I was not smart enough to figure out what it was. Bless you Roo Roo.

 

Pennkrest Sam I Am CDX CWDX
“Sam”
3/6/98 - 11/7/06

Sam was a wonderful dog. He loved water and obedience and was the ONLY dog I ever owned that completed his CDX in three tries. When Sam was happy, he would jump up and down on his back legs over my head, much to the astonishment of the obedience judges and others who didn’t know him. People would stop ringside to watch his antics.  Sam loved everyone, other dogs, people, and especially children. And Sam loved us. I can’t begin to tell you how much we miss him. He died at 8 years of age of hemangiosarcoma (Georgie project autopsy). We are so thankful to the PWD Foundation for their commitment to the research into this devastating disease.
