"Skipper"
10/12/2000 - 11/13/2012Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower, But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief. So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. –Robert FrostContinue readingSparky
"Sparky"
08/21/1999 - 01/30/2007Sparky wasn’t a show dog, although he came from a line of champions I’d be hard pressed to say he was even a “good dog” in the sense most people use the term. But a good friend… you would not find one better. Sparky had a huge personality, was extremely smart, and had a ton […]Continue readingHIT U-CDX CH Seabreeze Baquerio Galante CDX, WWD, CGC, ROM
"Splash"
11/05/1988 - 10/15/2004Splash came to us as a 5-year-old who had become “persona non grata” at his first home due to his exuberant nature and large size.. He knew little about being a house dog but quickly became our protector and good friend. Although he never learned the “no shopping on countertop rule”, he learned new lessons […]Continue readingCH Scylla’s Baby Dock NA
"Duck"
05/31/1997 - 05/06/2007I was born in Deb’s house and I was the most independent puppy of the lot. At 10 weeks of age I went to Laura’s house and lived there for the rest of my life. I guess you could say I had two moms. I learned about the water when I was very young. In […]Continue readingNina
"Nina"
02/18/1995 - 10/18/2008Conversational. In a word, that was our beloved Nina. For almost fourteen years, she told us what she wanted, and listened to what we had to say. She helped raise Jordan & Danny every step of the way. Nina played “keep away” with Danny’s favorite toy to encourage him to learn to walk. She attended […]Continue readingU-CDX Alto Mare Brisa de Briosa CD, AWD, NA, CGC, ROM
"Cassie"
03/15/1989 - 04/01/2002From the time she leapt into our hearts and life, Cassie began each day as a great adventure. She was an agile hunter and loved digging giant holes. Once, she even caught a trout in the stream! Her joy of scrambling up and down the most rugged pile of boulders took my breath away. Down […]Continue readingCH NightSkye Luz Da Lua Bars RA, TD, TH, CGC, NW1
"Sampson"
12/07/2004 - 10/25/2012What can I say about the most remarkable dog I have ever had? Little did I know all the different paths Sampson would take me on. He was my first show dog and earned his championship at 13 months. I entered my first ever AKC event with him in Rally and he eventually earned his […]Continue readingCH Eden Captain Nemo of Charkit UD, TD, AWD, CGC, TDI, SROM
"Nemo"
02/17/1993 - 07/04/2007Sweetheart, you will be with us forever. Thank you for lighting up our lives for 14-1/2 years, and for the happy wiggle dance you did whenever we walked into the room. Love, Mom and DadContinue reading
