"JAKE"

Nov.04.94 - Jan.27.09

JAKE

It is with great sadness that we have to tell you our dear Jake is gone. He went to sleep peacefully while hearing our voices and feeling our touch.

Jake was going on 15! He had a very good life, never a sick day. He chased birds, balls, sticks and bad guys. he had girl friends, lots of bones, days at the beach and lots of love.

Many people fell in love with Jake and ask about him a lot. We are fortunate to have some Jake kids, and Jake grand kids. In them we see Jake ...that same "Look", the way they love, and the way they just know.... Jake will continue in these kids for years to come.

*Please view the  memorial slide show below of Jake*

Thank you for all of you who have already send messages, he was very special!

"Luke"

(2001 - 2007)

My dear Luke was diagnosed with cancer and 6 weeks later he was gone. We spent that time going for long walks, swimming and having ice cream cones. It is so hard when they leave you when they get old, but when they are so young and full of life it is devastating.

Luke was my soledog.

It's ok, my sweet boy, you can go now.

RUN   LUKEY,   RUN.............

Lukus Macray,  I miss you today!

"Keno"

(1995 - 2007 )

   Our dear kind "Bear Dog", many people enjoyed your warm hugs and kisses.  When strangers came you were so eager to run over and give them a big kiss. You loved everybody!  I know you touched people in a very special way.

Our sofa seems bigger.

I held you when you took your first breath, your last breath and many many in between...... Thank you for your special time with us.

We miss you "Keen bean the monkey meen."

"Sheena"

(1994-2007)

You can now run with your toy in your mouth as long as you want!

"Sheena" was our last Search & Rescue Dog. She was an  R.C.M.P certified, civilian Search & Rescue dog for five consecutive years. Her greatest thrill was going to schools and doing demos for the kids as she loved the attention. She was always ready and eager to work.

 Good bye dear little "Bean Baby".

******************************************************************************************************

"Sandi"

(1993-2004)

We sure miss Sandi. She would  sneak up on you and wipe her cold wet nose on your hand and lean into you so much that you almost fell over! I would say "I wish you would stop that!!"         I now wish she would do it just one more time.

Good bye "Sanny Anny"

*****************************************************************************************************

"Karrie"

(1992-2003)

Karrie was one of our daughter dogs. They were inseparable. She had a very short show career as she really did not have the patients to stand there and get looked at. She wanted to spend her time with her pal Jodie, our daughter. I think in this picture Jodie said "do you want to go in a run??"

Good Bye sweet "Scary Karrie"

******************************************************************************************************

"Taboo"

(1987-2001)

Taboo was a very fun dog. She had a great show career as she acquired her titles in no time. She was much like Kount, heads would turn when she entered the ring. Taboo loved being a mother and some of her puppies went on to great show careers of their own.

Sleep well "Boo"

******************************************************************************************************

"Bandit"

(1989-2001)

Bandit was a Min Pin. He was our small house dog. Our two daughters showed him in conformation when they were young. It takes a very special dog to be so small and still be able to fit in a house with German Shepherds. He did it just fine.

Bye for now "Little Dittle"

******************************************************************************************************

"GAMBLER"

(1990-1999)

Gambler was a very large black and tan male dog. He was almost all black with just a bit of tan on his legs and face. He was the first dog we started working with in Schutzhund. We learned a lot with him. He acquired his Schutzhund I title, and he loved to do the protection work. Our training has come a long way since Gambler, and we will miss his deep bark and his drive to find the bad guy.

We miss you "Gumby"

"SCANDEL"

(1986-1997)

"Scandel" was a long coat female. She was the first Search & Rescue Dog for us. When we started her in Search & Rescue, she was a natural at it. From the first time she put her nose to the ground she knew, and so did we, that this is what she was meant to do. Scandel was not your most cuddliest dog. She was all business. When she had her harness on it was all work. She was one of the first RCMP certified civilian Ground Search & Rescue Dogs in BC. She was certified for nine consecutive years,  until she retired. Here is a tribute that we wrote for her.

Keep tracking "Scandelely"

SAYING "GOOD-BYE" TO AN OLD FRIEND

Thank you..............

For being with me for 11 years

For being certified for 9 years

For all those long nights searching

For all the times I'd taken you from your warm bed

For never giving up when you were covered with snow, mud, or ice

For still going when you were cut by barbed wire, glass or sticks

For continuing to work when you were so exhausted

For jumping over those logs when I asked, not knowing what was on the other side

For going into a room full of kids and licking every face

For the times I thought I was right, but you knew different

For that "sparkle" in your eyes when it was time to work

For trusting me........For making me trust you

And finally.. for leaving me quietly and peacefully in your sleep when you knew it was time

Thank you........................

MAY ALL YOUR SEARCHES IN "HEAVEN" BE HAPPY ONES

"LUCKY"

(1983-1997) 

"Lucky" came to us as a very sick, ten day old puppy. We brought her home and started the task of raising her. Up every two hours to feed her for the first six weeks. We could not let her go without a fight. Fourteen years later she passed away. With such a bond with us, she thought we where her parents. Every where that we went Lucky had to be there. She received her C.D. title, but because she was always goofing around it was a bit of a task to make her take anything serious. She enjoyed dressing up and showing off. One time we did a doggie walk-a-thon to raise money for the Child Development Center and she presented the money on stage in a tin can she was holding in her mouth. All the great comedy is greatly missed.

Till we can hug again... bye "Muckamully"

"KOUNT"

(1985-1993)

"Kount" was a big black & tan male dog. He was the next show dog for us. He received his Show Championship title very quickly. When he entered the ring, heads would turn. He enjoyed the show ring, and was always eager to show off for the crowd. Over the years, Kount sired many show puppies. He was a joy to live with, and a great  privilege to have known. This is a portrait done by Sam Lu. We feel this portrait is far better than any picture. Sadly we lost Kount when he was only eight  years old .

I know you are still struting you stuff dear "Kountdown von Sucky Sar"

******************************************************************************************************

"KIZZY"

(1981-1993)

"Kizzy" was our first show dog. She acquired her  Show Championship title, her C.D., and her Canadian ROMC title. Kizzy was a very "lady like" female. Getting dirty or wet was out of the question. She liked the attention she got when it was show time, getting blown dry and nails done etc. The obedience ring was not her cup of tea, although she did do quit well, standing pretty was what she liked to do best.

Love you "Kizzy Kid"

******************************************************************************************************

"Shiloh" was the first German Shepherd that started Broomeacres. She was a large black & tan female. Shilo tried everything, but the one thing that she succeeded at was the best family member that any one could ask for. She was still a puppy when we had our two daughters, so growing up together made the three of them the best of pals. They were always looking out for each other. She set a high standard for the rest of the dogs that followed.

Look after all the other animals.... our Dear "Baby Bo Shiloh"

In loving memory to these dogs, and all the dogs over the years that we have bred,
