"Checkers"
stands out
among all
our dogs
as the one
who possessed
a perfect
temperament.
"Checkers"
was basically
hand-raised
as a singleton
puppy as
his dam
never really
understood
her role
as mother.
Interesting
that for
her second
litter,
"Tiffany"
was a fine
mother.
Nonetheless,
her first
singleton
baby was
raised by
his human
family -
us - and
maybe that
had something
to do with
the fact
that "Checkers"
was the
easiest
dog to house
train, obedience
train and
prepare
for the
conformation
ring. Nothing
fazed him
and he was
a lovingly
responsive
dog with
the gentlest
nature.
He lived
to please
his family
and please
us he did
- we adored
him.

"Checkers"
produced
two champions
for us:
Ch.
Kincardine
Crescent
Moon "Llewie"
Ch.
Kincardine
Keep Your
Eye On Me
"Zachary"



After
we finished
"Checkers"
we had the
opportunity
to place
him in a
new home
with an
elderly
gentleman
who had
just suffered
a stroke
that limited
his mobility.
The gentleman
was looking
for a companion
to love
and keep
him company.
"Checkers"
found the
person who
needed him
most - a
perfect
and most
fulfilling
match. Sometimes
the right
thing just
comes together.
