American, Canadian, International Champion
Tradewinds Cascade Sunrise
February 22, 2003 - May 7, 2008

He didn't just touch the lives of those of us who loved him,
he embedded himself into our hearts


As a show dog


Doing what he loved best, playing with puppies


THe "hard life" at Brian and Lesley's


with a friend (Rhumba)


It has taken me a few days to get to the point of being to tell anyone it happened and it will be even longer before I can talk about him without bursting into tears. The hole he's left in our hearts, my mother's heart and Brian and Lesley's heart will not easily or soon be filled.

Brian and Lesley have a beautiful tribute page for him
