I'm saddened to hear of the passing of Suzanne. I didn't know her well, but our paths occassionally crossed at Nationals and Specialty shows. She was always friendly and warm. And, as others have said, she LOVED her dogs. That was glaringly obvious. I'd like to share something regarding Suzanne's sportsmanship... A few months ago, we entered a puppy in a Specialty show where a dog Suzanne co-bred/co-owned was entered as well. Our puppy went RWD to Suzanne's WD. Afterwards, Suzanne came up to us and told us that our puppy should have won as he was the better dog. I was floored! While I wasn't sure that I agreed with her assessment, I was simply amazed that anyone would go out of their way to tell us something like this! God speed, Suzanne.

She had recently undergone surgery for lung cancer. Once arrangements have been made, we will post them to the list for those who wish to attend. We have lost another great lady of the breed. I'm certain she was overwhelmed at the Bridge by her dear ones who were waiting patiently to be with her again. She will be dearly missed by her friends and family.
