"Paisley"
Paisley  (1991-1998) was retired from the conformation ring  due to illness. She had all her minor points and was looking for majors at the time. She was pulled from obedience training just shy of being entered in shows to get her CD due to advancing blindness from cataracts. However, she  worked in Freestyle despite her disability. She performed her Freestyle routine at the 1996 National in Wisconsin. Paisley was Dagon n' Spandania Pip at Waccabuc, TD, CGC, (10 conformation pts), my Freestyle partner and my friend.

Ch. Waccabuc's Gnome de Plume, TD, CGC
"Druid"

(2-20-96 to 6-19-05) Druid was a Group placing dog of whom Rachel Page Elliott, author of The New Dogsteps said "Watching him move is watching poetry in motion." He was a Versatility dog (Ch, TD) our first Dane to have a title at both ends, the truly balanced dog. He died too soon and is missed.
