Someone once said to me that it was pure luck
that we were able to acquire Shari. I felt a bit defensive
about that, since I felt that our research of bloodlines and
type had led us to her.
Then there were negotiations. Heinz, Annie and
Gerry of Van Dafzicht were very aware of her potential. They
had to make a decision about weather they wanted to hand that
over to someone else.
She was beautiful, energetic and kind, yet
definitely, the “top Dog” here. She produced so beautifully
with each male she was matched with.
An R.O.M producer with 15 champions to her
credit, she has grand children and great grandchildren who are
lighting up the” leader boards” as well.
She has contributed so much to our breed not
only for our own breeding program, but for many others, here
in the US, in Canada, as well as Holland, Sweden, Norway and
even in Hong Kong.
Her influence is present in the show ring now,
and will continue to be, for generations to come.
For the past ten and a half years Shari has
been a brightly burning light in our lives. One of a kind, and
oh so silly. She is painfully missed each day. So, in
reality it is absolutely true we have been purely lucky.
To Heinz, Annie and Gerry, we know you are as
proud of her as we are, and, for the privilege of allowing us
to share our lives with Shari,
We Thank You!
Sheila, Jan and Bobbi
