"Rory" will always hold a special place in our hearts - an extraordinary, beautiful dog with a heart as big as the sea.

When we went to Australia on teacher exchange for 1991, Kathy Belville leased my precious "Caitlin" for two litters. "Rory" was born in the first litter. I can remember receiving the photo of "Rory's" 1991 ASSA class placement in the 9 - 12 class with Kathy handling, and thinking "my Caitlin produced this beautiful, beautiful dog!" Of course, Kathy's "Rowan" had a little something to do with it too!

There are so many things about "Rory" we will never forget. We were there when Rory finished his American championship (Kathy handling) with a Best of Winners Specialty win. We were there when his 10th Canadian champion finished (Cathy handling) to give "Rory" his ROMC making him his dam's second ROMC, second Specialty winner and second Canadian/American champion. We were there when "Rory" won Best Veteran Dog at the 1998 CSSA (Megan handling) and represented his dam along with his half sister multi BISS Am./Can. Ch. Kincardine Clearly a Song ROMC to give his dam Best Brood in Specialty at the 1998 CSSA (Kathy, Megan and Cathy all handling).

We were there when "Rory" gave his heart to his young handler, and helped Megan win so many coveted Junior handling awards.

And dear "Rory" . . . you were always there for us . . . body, heart and soul.

We love you little man.
