4 November 1994 - 30 May 2008
Sunshine was a special girl to us. While her sister Sally rules the roost, Sunshine is the 'Queen Bee' and knows it. She is one of those 'special' girls that you can't help but love, even when she opened the cupboard door, tipped over the trash, and snaked a treat off the counter because she always did it in style.
She completed her Canadian & International Championship as a Veteran with the Judges saying she was a "good breed representitive", "Well balanced and in proportion".
She prefered to live a life of leisure although she always enjoyed making an appearance for specialties to compete in Veterans classes. Taking a Best Veteran at the same show her sons took a Best of Winners and Best Bred by Exhibitor.
Some of her noted Children:
