Foster Shine & Remarkable Litter

Here is a blast from the past…Foster, aka yellow dog from the Shine/Remarkable litter born April 21, 2002. He’s just turned 9 and that’s easy to remember because he was Paul’s 40th birthday gift from the boys and I. We get compliments about him all the time about how loving and persistent he is at keeping people petting him… He’s starting to look a little white through the face now…keeps watch at the front of the house and still thinks he owns the sidewalk!! Foster loves to chase the ducks when we get him up to a cottage… he is such wonderful company and we just love him!! Thanks for allowing us to be his forever family… Wendy

Halo Pride & Time Litter Nov. 30/09

Abby

Hi! My name is Abby! Some of you may remember me as "Pink Girl" from my mom and dad (Horizon and Johnny Walker)'s brood. I hear I was a little imp from the time I was born (May 19, 2008) but now that I'm 2 years old, I'm well-behaved (most times) and well-loved (all the time). My grandma (Nancy Hatch) and my adopted mom (Judy) have helped me to become the awesome dog that I am today (he,he)!!!!!!!!!! .... submitted by Judy who found it very hard to stop at 6 pics :)

ARGO Blessing's Puppy Sept. 21, 2009

Argo joined our family in November of 2009 and has been an absolute joy! He is a beautiful, happy boy who makes us laugh, gives great ear snuffles and greets everyone with a smile and body wiggle. He is great company for his "sister" Stella and is a wonderful addition to our family. The photos are of Argo the day we brought him home (8 weeks), exploring the back field for the first time (4 1/2 months), looking handsome and loveable (8 months) and with "sister" Stella in the creek - one of his favourite places. .......Dawn

ROOKIE Horizon x Johnny Walker Litter May 20, 2008

Just writing to update you on our Rookie - Rookie of the Year. He has grown to be such a beautiful boy and a very special part of our family. As much as he's my boy, he definitely loves his "nonna and nonno". He is best friends with an American Bulldog named George, and the two of them together are priceless. Hope to see you soon. Here are a few pictures. Love, Claudia and Rookie
