Bear

Nikki's Ace Of Hearts 

5/03-1/06

 

Bear came to us with the hopes of improving our breeding program, he had the sweetest dispostion, a wonderful conformation and outstanding pedigree.  What he didn't have was good health, when we started his health testing we never expected him to be diagnosed with ARVC at the age of two and he had to be helped to the bridge months later.

 

Sancho

5/5/06-9/2/08 

Sancho was diagnosed with the life treatening heart condition of Tricuspid Valve Dysplasia (TVD) at the age of 10 months.  He was rescued by us at 22 months of age where we continued to socialize him, monitor his health condition and allow him to play and be loved like a dog should be.  He was champion sired out of very well  established and long lived bloodlines, which is why health testing is so important in any breeding program.   Sancho was helped to the Bridge on 9/2/08.
