TRIBUTES

This page is dedicated to our previous beloved dogs that have
served and lived well. We love them all and enjoyed the time we spent together.
May the memories only grow stronger.

- Bossy
-
- Bossy was our beloved Female Yellow Labrador Retriever. She lived a good life
and loved us us through lots of change, moves, other dogs,
and lots more over the past 12 years. She was an amazingly sweet
family member and we will miss her lots. She brought us tons of joy
and loved to play and cuddle. Bossy was a gentle protector, kept a watchful eye on
the safety of the kids, and also all our other pets, including several rabbits, a hamster, a few puppies, our
birds, and our fish. If Dad wasn't home, she would sleep at the
top of the stairs to make sure nothing moved without her noticing.

Bossy made sure everything was in place and
everyone was happy. If this was not the case, she would come and give
you a big slobbery kiss on your face to wipe away those tears. We will
miss her and always cherish those memories. We are now relived that
she does not have to suffer anymore due to her cancer and arthritis.
We love you, Bossy!

hurt a fly. (She is actually watching a wild rabbit) |

- Chief
-
- Chief was our Male Rottwieller-Collie Cross. He was a wonderful dog to
have while we were growing up as kids. He was playful and protective
when needed. He was smart and learned quickly. Unfortunately, Chief only stayed with us a little while, and then went on to live
at a home with more room to run. He was a very active as a
puppy and grew into a wonderful young adult. We miss him, but are
happy to know that he is in a great home with lots of room to run and
play.

Mocha
- Mocha was our Female Red Standard Poodle. She was spoiled rotten. She was a wonderful dog with an
amazing temperament. She was very calm and loved to be around
people. Sadly, she was very homesick. She is now living back in her
original home where she is happy and content to be with her previous
owner. We will miss her a lot but we are glad that she is happy and
back where she belongs. To see some of her puppies, see our Standard
Poodle Gallery.
Mocha loved to play fetch with herself. She would throw the ball for
herself and then chase after it. She learned a lot of new tricks
when she was here. She learned to shake-a-paw, sit pretty, lay-down,
and more.

Brooklyn
- Brooklyn was one of our prospective Goldendoodle mothers. She was a
wonderful and beautiful Golden Retriever with a gorgeous coat and
sweet personality. She was a great dog. She lived in a guardian home
and was loved and spoiled to no end.
-
- She came from really good parents and had a wonderful
face to match her parents' good looks. She was gentle, good with cats, kids, and other dogs.
She was calm and even tempered and enjoyed going to obedience classes
with her guardian family. She was a sweet little doll and loved to
give kisses. She was an all around wonderful family dog.

- Brooklyn started to experience fainting spells and was diagnosed by
the vet to have problems with her heart through an ECG. The problem
seemed to be getting worse and follow up testing (with an ultrasound)
revealed a mass in her heart that was interfering with the blood flow.
Upon vet consultation, we came to the devastating decision that the
humane thing to do was to let her go, so that she wouldn't suffer any
longer. We were assured by the vet that the problem was not genetic,
however there was no treatment available that would allow her to live
a full and healthy life. We are all
mourning this loss but she will be greatly remembered and loved
forever.

Ginger
- Ginger is our beloved female Apricot Miniature Poodle. She has
made an excellent pet, and is very intelligent and funny. She was in our
breeding program for many years. She was one of our first dogs and a
very important part of our family. She produced 4 healthy litters of
puppies for us and is now retired from breeding. She is still doing
well and is healthy. She is happy to be the only dog in the house as
she lives with Amanda.
-
- Ginger was an excellent mother. She has successfully raised all of her puppies, both apricots and blacks,
from a litter of 4 in 2004, a litter of only 2 in 2005, and a
litter of 5 in 2006. To see some of the pictures from previous litters,
check out our Miniature Poodle Gallery Page.
We are happy that she is now enjoying retirement and will be enjoying
life on a big acreage with lots of room to run and play. We hope for
her to have a long and happy life.

Littles
- Littles was our Male Apricot Miniature Poodle. He is a happy, lovable little guy. He is well mannered, trained, and
does tricks. He loves
people (especially kids), cats and other dogs. He is a very loving poodle, that isn't shy, high
strung or barky. He loves to cuddle, give kisses, and visit the neighbors.
To state the obvious, he is very friendly. He is such a cutie and is very
photogenic. He produced wonderful pups (although not for us), passing on his good looks, great
temperament, and wonderful color. He also has a very soft and easily
maintained coat. He now lives with a family that loves and cares for him.
We hope he enjoys retirement, even though we were not able to enjoy
his presence in our breeding program for very long.
