Very sad indeed. More so as to how sudden it happened. I wish I was closer. I know how much Janice loved her dogs, and I am sure they will be lost without her. My condolences to Ron and his family and to all of Janice's friends..... they were many. Hug all your dogs tonite.... * Ileana * Inquest GSD's, Home of : 2 x Sel EX AM CH & Sel CAN CH Karizma's Cacique of Inquest TC, aka DEXTER Kaleef's Expensive Date (major pointed) aka JACKIE In a message dated 7/30/2011 5:35:30 P.M.

Janice Staley, long time breeder/judge, passed away very unexpectedly early last evening at the emergency hospital. At this time, the cause of death is pending the coroner's report which is normal when someone passes away unexpectedly. We are all very numb as this was such a total shock. We had just all been together last Sunday at a puppy match and potluck. Services are pending and once I have been informed of the details from her family, I will post to the list as I know she had many friends in the breed. I will also be working on a memorial for the Review and again will post that information once things are a bit more settled. Right now, the main concern is to make sure that her beloved dogs are taken care of. She had way too many but did love them very much and they loved her. Tracy Radigan, Eric Norby, Ellen Borders, Debbie Hopkins and myself were up to her kennel today to evaluate the dogs. We took several dogs and they are being fostered by Tracy, Eric and Debbie. Unfortunately, since I do not have kennels and have three house dogs I can not take any, so grey dog Debbie is fostering some of the Strider kids for me. There are also a few "seniors" in the kennel that are in good health with good temperament that I would love to see placed in a forever home. If anyone is interested in helping place some dogs, please contact Tracy Radigan at -- jezragsd@xxxxxxxxxxx regarding the majority of the dogs or myself regarding the Strider kids that I co-own. Of course, this is all a work in progress until her estate is settled. Kay Springer ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
