Ill always fondly remember one day a few years ago I was walking a young puppy at a show an Joan smiled and came over and loved on my puppy and petted Medusa and told me that I had a gorgeous puppy and that I had succeeded in doing one of the hardest things in breeding dogs.She told me she could recognize my breeding in the ring.That I had established a consistent type and show attitude.I know I blushed as I thanked her and was pleased to tell her my foundation bitch was a Zeto daughter from one of his last breeding's who herself became an ROM with ROM progeny.Later when I was at the Fords home to do a breeding,Joan cheerfully showed me pictures of all the famous Fran-Jo dogs and I of course drilled her with endless questions which she patiently answered.She is a rare jewel in our Breed My thoughts are with her ,Fran & The family.
