Alvin was truly one of those dogs that you get to hold  in your life only 
once in a lifetime.
He was an amazing ambassador for our breed, as he truly loved everyone that 
he met.
He was a beautiful boy.
I will miss him, esp. at Nationals where he shined the brightest.
I am so sorry for your loss.
God Speed to Alvin.
