Being a reputable breeder often has many sacrifices. One of the hardest for us is placing an older dog who has not worked for our breeding program. Being that we love each dog like they are our children, it is an impossibly hard decision to place a dog that has been a part of our lives. However, we are committed to breeding only the best representations of the breed and sometimes the best home comes along that is able to take an older dog. It is in the best interest of the dogs to go to a home where they can go on to make someone else's life that much more special. With that in mind, we are very grateful to Cheryl and Allan for giving Dizzy a wonderful home and Barb and Bella for loving Shakespeare so much. We miss them every day, but know they are living wonderful lives! 

~Dizzy~

Dizzy is now loved by Cheryl and Allan at Milestone Stables where she is a constant source of love and adventure. We will never forget with Cheryl met Dizzy and tears came to her eyes. We knew then it was a wonderful match. We miss Dizzy every day, as she was a wonderful little girl whose constant smile always brought joy to every room. An injury to her leg at a young age made us decide to spay and place her, but only after we were sure through surgery, physiotherapy and much more that Dizzy was sound. Dizzy now greets all the riders at the stable, does chores with her new parents and shares the home with their other dogs and cats! She can also be seen riding around at horse shows on Allan's golf cart. Dizzy's personality will forever be one that we strive for in our breeding program. Seeing the above photo still makes my heart swell - she is terribly missed, but we know she is happy and Cheryl and Allan are thrilled with her!

~Shakespeare~

Shakespeare is a wonderful dog, but a terribly wry bite and other reasons led us to the decision to neuter him. He now owns Mike's mom Bella and her partner Barb. We are fortunate enough to see Shakespeare in a regular basis and have him stay with us when Bella and Barb go away. It is very clear that he is SO happy living with them and we know without a doubt that they are madly in love with him. He is incredibly spoiled in all the best ways! After he comes from a visit, it's always hard to see him go, but he doesn't even look back - that's how we know we made the right decision.
