Never to forget the passed angels of the clan who watch over the rest of us everyday.
Caeleigh
Ch. Saracen Caeleigh O'Glennis Am CD, Can CD,
CGC, TDI, TT-12
Caeleigh completed both her American and Canadian
CD's in three straight shows, placing 2nd and 4th for her Amercian legs.
She earned high in trial at the sporting dog show in Canada.
Caeleigh was ranked # 3 in the Delaney rating system in 1992.
Caeleigh loved the water and retreiving, although her favorite past time
was catching frisbees.
She was a registered Therapy dog and visited Nursing homes in Pennsylvania
She was a once in a lifetime dog, my very best friend, she
left a hole in my heart that will never be filled.
Gaelen
Am. CH Can CH Pooles Ide Gaelen da'Lough CCG, TT-13
Gaelen was sired by the only IWS to earn best in show at Westminster in
1976
(Ch. Oaktrees Irishtocrat), his dam was the top winning bitch
in the breed in 1992 and 1993 (Ch. Pooles Ide Oprah O'Reilly).
Gaelen finished his American CH at 11 months of age. At 16 months he earned
a group 3 in Canada to complete his Canadian CH. At 18 months, Gaelen was
awarded an Award of Merit at Westminster.
Gaelen was the #2 IWS in Canada in 1993 and he was ranked
#4 IWS in the US in 1994.
He was my first boy and taught me quite a lot. Gaelen was the most handsome
of boys and I fell in love from the start, he was a very, very, sad loss
in my life.
Dart
CH. Mayhems a wing and a prayer CGC
Dart was also sired by Ch. Pooles Ide Gaelen da'Lough X Mallyree Tempest
in a Teapot CDX. Dart lived with and was loved by a wonderful family in
PA. He grew up surrounded by Schipperkies ! Dart finished his CH at a early
age and then proceeded to hunt, visit the girls' schools, and have an all
around wonderful life ! Dart came to me at ~ 6 years old, he lived on and
off in PA and OH while I showed him as a special. Dart was #5 IWS in the
country in 2000. After retirement, Dart moved in with me permanently. Dart
succumbed to Hemangiosarcoma at 8 years of age. He is sorely missed by the
tribe.
Sizzle
Sizzle was Brenden's littermate. He was a joy to have with
our family for the short time that we shared. Sizzle started out as a favor
to the breeder to help her, of course we fell in love with him and decided
we needed to keep him. We lost him at the all too young age of 6 months
to the ugly "C" word. Needless to say it was a shock. There is
a huge hole left from his loss even at that young age. Brenden came to us
as a "replacement", but there is no such thing with anyone of
these guys <G>, they are each their own dog.
Splash
CH. Mayhems look what followed me home CGC
Splash was sired by Ch. Pooles Ide Gaelen da'Lough X Mallyree Tempest in
a Teapot CDX. Splash finished her Championship after returning to her breeders
(us) at 5 years old. She was a wonderful dog, who reigned as queen of the
couch for many happy years with us. We lost her quite suddenly in February
of this year. She was an awesome dog and gave us so much, she is trully
missed by the entire family.
Hex
Ch. Caelens Superstitious Mayhem
10/31/94-4/30/07
