It is 12 years ago that a magnificent Briard boy left forever ...... much too young at the age of only 9 years and a couple of days. No one can take his place in my heart, and the wonderful memories which link us, will always be present. Samson (UGO de la Morne Plaine) is missed like on the first day. His enjoyment of life, his hilarious character, his unconditional love, his indescribable passion to play ...... all things which are unforgotten and will forever remain unforgotten.
A candle has been lit for the sire of the here born C litter and E litter de la Maison du Garde-Barrière, for the sire of all in all 45 Briards in Finland, Sweden, Russia, USA, Canada, Australia and Austria, grandfather of 18 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren in the USA.

Thinking about a great boy who's birthday is today: Marko, great "teacher" for lots of my Briards, helped raising puppies, wonderful companion for all the dogs here, sunshine of my life for a couple of years, but way too few. Always unforgotten, carried in my heart forever.
A candle has been lit ......

Today is a big day for Ula (Multi-Champ. Family Song's ULA): she celebrates her 12th birthday. Heartfelt congratulation to this great girl, who founded the Chinese Crested breeding in this home. The main wishes for her are continuing healthiness and to be joined by her for many more years.
I think it is needless to mention that this sweetie is spoiled very much through all the day. ?

Visiting the vet because Jebelle (JEBELLE de la Chaume du Bois Dieu) is still slightly limping after she slipped on icy ground on January 19. That time she was also presented to the vet and a muscle strain was diagnosed. To be sure that it is not something worse, her front legs have been x-rayed today. And now there is another great result for Jebelle in case she goes into breeding: ED both sides clear, shoulders both sides clear. Delight about this fact is of course big. And concerning her limping: she is too wild - even though she is let out to the garden alone and forced to tranquility in her crate. According to the vet everything should be ok in a couple of days.
