RIP Lightning

This has been one of those days where the heart and mind are in conflict.
Today we have taken the very difficult decision to let our Lightning go across the rainbow bridge.
She had almost reached the age of 15 and has hardly ever been ill.
But the old age had gotten to her and she had become demented.
Walking in circles, bumping into things and constantly mixing inside and outside to go potty.

First still with ups and downs and clear days but lately she did not have a clue.
We could not make contact anymore, she was living in her own world and we could not see that she was enjoying life anymore.
Not easy and with pain in our hearts but luckily we have been able to spare her a nasty dragging end.

Dear Lighty, you have been wonderful to us. You were a tough lady just like your mother and did things your way.
We have been travelling quite a bit together and when you were still showing the judges always had to smile when you entered the ring.

Run free with your family !!

You will never be forgotten !!!

Stunning

Stunning is growing up nicely. Hopefully he keeps this going and turns out to be what we are hoping for …
Very nice picture from his first show experience !

Show Eindhoven

Fantastic day at IDS Eindhoven. Saltydawg Fisherman’s Friend (Stripper) won Best of Breed and became Dutch Champion
He already had enough points but now he is 27 months and had to earn his last point.
American Dancer’s Superior (Stunning) had his first show experience and showed himself a great showman. He took best puppy in breed and went though the ring of honour like he owned het ring.
