Lily, a young show girl 
| April 12, 1998 – August 26, 2004 Bred by Dan Campeau and George Monteverdi Owned, kept and loved by Nancy Sturgis Sired: CH W-Dav-K’s Born in the USA ‘Boss’ Dam: Suddanly Adelweiss ‘Bella’ Lily lost her battle with Osteosarcoma. Since December, she lived 3 legged and enjoyed 8 more months than expected. She had a beautiful spring and summer and was valiant. She was a participator. She was quick to smile at the smallest things; the smell of Puget Sound, physical comedy, the suggestion of any cookie, ride, trip to the park or ‘pets’. She was the ideal Swissy to me. She was a quick Champion, beautiful, sound and a loving mother. I couldn’t have loved her more. She was my best friend. She passed on some of her good qualities to her kids and I’m grateful. Her daughter, Nominee, is acting just like her. I miss her greatly and am looking for her influence in her kids, knowing I was very, very lucky to have known her. Rest in Peace, Lily. I’ll see you again. |

Todd and Boone (nearly 12 yrs) 
Boone's 1st Group 3, from the classes in '97  Father and SonBoone 6yrs, Tucker 7wks | Sept. 17, 1992 - July 31, 2004 Owned by Todd Iscovitz and bred by Dan Campeau and Dori Hoffman. Sire: Ch. Sennehof's Mark 'Bull', Dam: Saalbach's Ashenda V Pilch 'Chloe'. Boone was the happiest, healthiest Swissy I ever met. Todd and Boone spent nearly 12 years as best friends, enjoying life, traveling and going to the park nearly every day of Boone's life. Todd was committed to Boone's happiness, above all else...and Boone was very happy. Boone came from a litter of 11 and he outlived them all, with no health problem greater than a hygroma on his elbow at age 2. Boone's litter brother, Patrick, was the #1 dog in the country in his prime and produced 5 of the first 7 Best of Breed Westminster winners. Boone only survived Patrick by a few months, both living to be 'righteous old'. Both brothers gave health, type and excellent temperaments to each of the puppies that they sired. Boone's kids are achieving some of their successes because of his contribution, and they are happy. There is so much to tell about Boone, he was so worth knowing. He will live on in our memories and his beautiful qualities will be present in the generations that follow him. We will see his smile or hear his 'barrooo' again from one of his kids and recognize him. One of his kids, yet to be, will make the same pawprints on our lives. I hope that day is soon. Boone, you will be greatly missed.
Thank you, Todd, for letting me share in Boone's successes in the show ring and as a Stud Dog. It was a very great honor. He was the best. Respectfully submitted for Todd Iscovitz by Nancy Sturgis. |
