We went from being dog-less to two dogs in 3 weeks. Patches was my niece’s dog. My sister was going through a nasty divorce and had to find homes for the family dogs. We said we would take in Patches. So 3 weeks after Zephyr came to live with us, Patch was added to the pack. She was about 12 years old. She had had a very rough time and needed lots of TLC. She adopted Zephyr instantly as her puppy. Living with him brought out her zest for life. She now retrieves, and specializes in keeping our yard free of moles, squirrels and chipmunks. She is a typical terrier mix, letting the world know her opinion.

A throw away from a puppy mill became a loving companion and a life long friend.  I am so glad you came into my life.  What a great dog.

Reggae’s life’s journey was completed before the Capital Region Flat-Coat Club was formed, but through her descendants, she continues to influence the breed locally, across the country, and now in Europe. Over 30 of the flat-coats in this gallery of CRFCRC dogs are her descendants, including a great-granddaughter of the same call name. Reggae’s elegant breed type and sound movement can still be seen coming down through the generations. Reggae was a confident and self-motivated worker, earning her CDX with 10 qualifying scores at age 2, and her UD in one trial season at age 3. She also earned JH legs both weekends that she was entered in hunt tests.
