Oh, so sad. Scott was a truly wonderful person. I didn't know him well, but had met him back when I first started showing in Conformation. One of the first two dogs I ever showed in Conformation was a little blue brindle Afghan bitch named Neisha. Scott was very kind to a very new handler.

Scott was an afghan breeder here in CA (Westwind), the long-time show chairman of Sir Francis Drake KC, a popular hound judge, and also was a lot of fun. Scott passed away at 10:20 last night. It has been a very difficult time since Scott's massive stroke and heart attack on New Year's Eve early morning. There is to be a Memorial of Life sometime in March. We will keep every one posted." -- Stormy Hope carpoc.org GSDCA Member And more clubs =========================== ============================================================================ ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
