Hi All; Most of you know that the GSD's are not the only breed in my life, that my husband Frank is the Labrador man in the family. On Monday evening we lost his beautiful chocolate boy Tanner Too to bone cancer, he put up a good fight and the week before, except for the tumor on his shoulder he acted like nothing was wrong. This was a sweet, loved everybody boy who was only 2 years and 9 months and was ready to start his show career. We breed him, did all the tests that could be done for Labs and then this. He comes from a line of long lived as his grandsire is almost 13 and still going strong. His best friends were my 2 male GSD's, they would run together for hours in the paddock and they never had an argument. Murdock my coated rescue gave him good bye kisses on Monday and Tanner gave them right back to him. He will be met over the Bridge by all my GSD's, who I know will take good care of him, all the other Murch dogs and the original Tanner, my husband's first Lab girl that lived to 15. Till we meet you again at the Bridge sweet boy.
