Co-Breeder Pat Barrett sent Ch Cartel's Levi of Heinerburg OFA H&L to a better place a few days ago. Another era gone. Levi would have been 15 in a few months & was a son of AOE WD 84 National (judge was Peggy Douglas) & 6 Select under Fran Ford. Lothario died a few months before his 15th birthday also. Levi's dam, Cartel's Starlight Express OFA was a Vax vd Weinerau daughter. Levi's legacy lives on through his sister Heinerburg's Amber v Cartel who is the granddam of WD & Select 6 at the Canadian National O'Danny Boy of Heinerburg . Amber also died shortly before her 15th birthday, Vax was about 14, Lothario was closing in on his 15th birthday, and Noel ROM in the 3rd generation was 12. But it is never long enough. I still miss Lothario, the gentle kind dog that he was. A producer of 30 Champions and 5 ROM daughters,& with no help a true Red and Black with a great forehand. I don't think there are any other progeny out there. Levi was a great companion to the Barrett's totally sound in every way. He will be missed.
