In Loving Memory ...

Over the past 27 years, I have suffered the loss of  many beloved Swissies. I have been fortunate in that most have lived to old age but I have also experienced the heartache of losing a "Dog of a Lifetime" in his prime . 

No matter the cause, no matter the age, no matter how many times you have experienced such a loss, it never gets easier.
 I learned important lessons from each Swissy with whom I've been so fortunate to share my life.
I cherish the memories of each of these beloved friends.

HEALTH CLEARANCES 

Tessa was  our gorgeous Mia x Hero daughter.
She was a big, athletic girl who lived a charmed life in the city during the week and at her  Patuxent River retreat on weekends. Tessa finished her Championship and Grand Championship with ease and at 18 months old was Best in Puppy Sweeps at the big GSMD Specialty in Millwood.  
Although she enjoyed her occasional forays  in the show ring, she much preferred hiking and swimming with her owners and new pal   "Thor" (blue puppy from Luna x Theo litter)
and napping on the bed with her owners and their menagerie.  
Tessa is dearly missed .
