Special dogs come through our lives and leave more than memories. They imprint our hearts and remind us why we have English Springer Spaniels. I have been fortunate to have known, shared, and loved several special Springers, including Zoomer and his mother, Ringer. Ringer was my first field-bred springer and Zoomer was from her first litter. As a breeder nothing is as fulfilling as producing Champions/titled dogs out of any breeding. Ringer was an outstanding producer.
Zoomer has realized many dreams for me. The accomplishments are the result of some very dear people helping Zoomer and me. Gary Wilson of Sunrise Kennels trained and trialed Zoomer for six years, finished 5 Nationals with him and earned his FC and CFC. I handled him to his AFC, his CD and his MH. I did his beginning training and handling in agility, but it is Janet Kolakoski I thank for handling him to his agility titles. I thank my partners in Pride ‘N’ Joy and Zoomer’s co-owners, Donna and Bernie Thompson for the love of the breed and for allowing me to explore the “other side”. And finally, thank you Zoomer, for your fun and enthusiasm, and for being such a nice dog.
