Rudy came to us as a foster when he was 5.5 months old. I didn’t want this thrice rejected wild thing in my house at Christmastime, but such is rescue.  We all fell in love with him, especially his buddy Franklin and he just had to stay.  While he is more of a snuggler than a worker, he is a very birdy boy and loves doing field stuff. 

Rudy is finally becoming a flyball dog, earning his FDCh on 10/10/09 and coming very close to his FDCh-Silver, which will only take one more good heat!   Not the speedster his sister Marcie is, but he knows his job!

Kelly was my first flat-coat and a great introduction to the breed and the dog fancy. I made many great friends through her and learned to enjoy many different venues and ways to spend my money and time doing dog things 😉

Kelly gave me 2 litters and her grandkids and great grandkids can always be found under my feet. Thanks Kelly!!

Kelly and her relatives can be found on my website.

“We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan.”( from The Once Again Prince by Irving Townsend)
