For those
dogs who left footprints in our hearts,
warmth
in our souls and joy and friendship in our lives.
We are
proud that they were a part of our family
and
we treasure their memories.........
All our
dogs have a song. Sometimes it was chosen because
it symbols
a time period in their life, some where chosen because
it fits
them and some because for one reason or another,
the
song and the dog belong together.
Whenever
we hear one of their songs, it brings back so many wonderful memories
but
also the sadness of losing them and letting them go....
Yerosha
Her
song was "Losing my religion" by REM. This song is from 1991 and was played
a lot
in the
period we went to Hungary for Yosha's mating. This song is directly connected
with the wonderful time of our first litter.
.
This is our ancestress.
Her official name is Oona Nortonia, we called her Yerosha (or Yosha, Bommel
or Josefien).
She was born in Poland
(Ch Liwien x Ch Ajna) on May-24-1987 and she died March-17-2000.
She was Ch. of Nl-D-B-Bsg’89-90,
W’89-90, Esg’90.
In memory of Yosha:
"A good dog never
dies
she always stays
she walks beside you
on crisp autumn days
when frost is on the
fields
and winter's drawing
near
her head is within
our hand
in her old way."
Bikrey
His
song is "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve. When Bikrey and I entered
the Ring of Honor in Milan in 1998
this
song was on the speaker. Since then it has always been a symbol of our
relationship together.
I bred my first litter
with Hung. Ch Knyaz Igor Albin and Yosha in 1991.
Out of this combination
I kept a male named Sarisin's Demon Bikrey (official home name Bikrey,
aka Biekje, Lambiek).
He was the first Dutch
bred champion in 1993. Bikrey is our most titled SRO ever.
He is Ch. of Nl-D-VDH-L-B-
WCh’94-96, ECh’96-‘97’98, JW’92, W’93-‘94-‘95-‘96-’97-'99, EJS’92, Esg’93-‘95-’96,
Bsg’94-’95.
He was Best in Show
8 times, also under Russian judges.
Bikrey died on April
6, 2001.
In loving memory:
"A caterpillar asked
God: "What happens when I die?"
God replied: "Have
you seen the butterfly?"
The caterpillar: "Yes,
do I have to die to become one?"
God said: "No, not
really. A part of you dies, but another,
stronger part of you
continues to live - it just changes forms"
We are happy that
Bikrey was with us for 9,5 years. We miss him but we treasure our memories
and his children.
Youghor
Youghor's
song is "Porcelain" by Moby. The time we traveled through Europe together
from show to show
was
accompanied by this song. It also emphasized the frailness of life when
Youghor died much too young...
Our third litter was
in February 1999 out of Bikrey and Oona.
From this litter we kept a sweet male called
Sarisin's Snezhnaya
Baba Youghor (Youghor, but hardly ever called that way. We called him Youghyberra,
Youkje or Yoghurtman).
He was not frequently shown but he was Nl.Ch, YW.'99, W'00-'01; he has
8 CACs, 3 CACIBs
and was BOB 7 times.
Youghor died much
too young, much too soon on July 25, 2003 at the age of 4,5 years. He had
a tumor near his heart that was incurable. His sudden death has shocked
us and had a great impact on us.
We regret the fact
that he did not have any offspring.
In sad memory:
"They say memories
are golden, well, maybe that is true
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you
A million times I
needed you, a million times I cried
If love alone could
save you, you never could have died
In life I loved you
dearly; in death I love you still
Within my heart you
hold a place no one could ever fill
If tears could build
a stairway and heartache make a lane
I'd walk the path
to heaven and bring you back again......"
Sarisin's
Debyoutant (Youta)
19-09-1991 /
26-07-2005
Youta's
song is "Amsterdam" by Coldplay. When she died, this song was on the radio
and I thought it was
heartbreaking
- just the way I felt at that time
Youta died on July
26 2005, 13 years and 10 months old.
With her, the last
of the "puppies" from our first litter died.
Youta was an outstanding
dog, a true SRO in character and exterior.
She gave a lot of
joy, pleasure, love, affection and protection to all around her and she
is deeply missed.
"Truly beloved dogs don't die. They gain wings and fly away....." |
Youta at the Dutch clubshow, Sept 2002, 11 years old
Youta is out of my
first litter of September 1991.
She is Champion of
Nl-D-VDH-B-WCh’94, W’93, Bsg’94, Esg’95-’96.
Youta lives with and
is co-owned by our friends Mithé and Ronald. Youta was supposed
to stay with us but
Glenn and I couldn´t
choose between her and Bikrey. Finally we agreed to keep Bikrey and Ronald
and Mithé
were happy to welcome
Youta in their home. Since then Youta is the caretaker of the family -
which
includes Ronald, Mithé,
their daughters Shura and Maru, Zima and Nila,
the cat.

September 2002, Youta is 11 years old and BOB at the Dutch Ch.ship clubshow!!

Debora
Taurapilis (Oona)
26-06-1996 / 05-10-2005
Oona
has 2 songs....
Her
actual song was "Drops of Jupiter" by Train, for some reason I don't remember.
But
when she died so unexpected and unfair, "One Word" from Anouk said it all....
Oona became seriously
ill in July. She was operated and although everything looked ok at first,
there were huge complications
and she had to be operated again that following week.
Neither the vets,
nor we, thought she would survive but we didn't think one moment about
giving up
and the following
2 months Oona, Glenn, the vets and I fought for her life.
Against all odds we
won the battle, and Oona did very well.
Untill that disastrous
day, October 4, when she had to be operated again.
Everything looked
fine, she woke up from the anesthetics but the next morning she died.
Her heart just simply
gave up....
There are no words
to describe our feelings, the hurt, the missing, the grieve.
Our anger against
destiny, our loss.
My sweet, beloved
and treasured Oona, our Mouse, we miss her so much.......
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "One Word" I close my eyes And imagine you're here Did it all seem so hopeless Given the chance I would ask Forgive me I didn't do a thing to make you stay I didn't say a word to make you stay If I would have known Could I have tried to make it easier But I didn't do a thing Or say a word One word And I don't know why
you're gone,
My thoughts unsaid

Oona June 2004
In 1996 we imported
a female from Lithuania. Her name was supposed to be Demona Taurapilis
but the tattoos
of her and her sister
were mixed up so she was named Debora Taurapilis on her pedigree.
We call her Oona (which
was supposed to be short for Demona...) but she is also known as Monky
or Mouse.
She is a daughter
of Anbi-Karo and Bela, both famous champions in their countries.
Oona's breeder is
Ilana Kuliesiene.
Oona is EYCh'97, W'99
and Nl.Ch. She doesn't like to show, she is more into obedience and agility
and she takes her
job as "caretaker of the house" very seriously.
Furthermore she is
the educationer of all our pups, a job she does with great fanatism.
If Oona can't teach
them manners, nothing can....

* 18-04-2002
/ † 09-07-2008
Zhdan
our runner, who didn't want to go for walks but enjoyed running besides
the bicycle.
Ofcourse
his song was "Born to Run" from Bruce Springsteen.....
Only 3 weeks after
he was diagnosed with bone cancer, we had to say goodbye to Zhdanno and
we had to let him go....
We had hoped to keep
him a little longer, but even though he had the will to stay, he had no
more strength to fight his disease.
Zhdanno, a BIG dog
in posture and behavior, deeply missed by us and "his girls". He will live
forever in our hearts......

I know that it must
be different,
now that I am no longer
there.
I realize how much
I was loved
and how you did care.
I know it will be
hard at first
when you look around
for me.
Expecting to find
me in the room
or beside my favourite
tree.
Someday you will begin
to see
although it'll take
some time,
the happy times you
shared with me,
the memories are yours
and mine.
I'll remember you,
my friend,
and how much you meant
to me.
So please don't grieve
and don't be sad,
it was just my time
to leave......

Zhdan is usually called
Stanley, Zhdanno or Daantje at home.
In April
2002 Zima had a litter of 4 males and 2 females. The father is
Fun-Fun (USA, Russian import).
We originally planned
only to keep a female from this litter, Byelka.
But due to circumstances Zhdan, one of the males,
stayed a little longer
and we decided to keep him as well. We believe it has been a good decision:
at the Euro
Youzhak show 2002, a specialty SRO show judged by Mrs Elena Tsukanova,
Russian breed expert
and president of the
International SRO club, Zhdan was BEST IN SHOW at the age
of 19 (!!!) weeks.
Zhdan is a powerful,
big boned male of 75 cm who inherited his fathers sweet nature.
He is a gentle giant,
soft and kind with people. He simply adores children,
and he is a gentleman
towards female dogs and little creatures.
At home his favorite
occupation is patrolling the fences of our garden, playing with "his" females
and running next to
me when I bicycle, which we do on an almost daily basis. Good for his condition
- and mine :-)

Zima, 14-07-2010
"Yellow"
by Coldplay is Zima's song. The lyrics and music remember me of our wonderful
times
together and her lovely children....
Goodbye, sweet Zima....
Today we had to let
Zima go to the rainbowbridge.
She was 12 years and
3 months old and even though her mind was still okay, her body let her
down.
Zima is the mother
of our Z-litter, K-litter and V-litter.
She brought 13 puppies
into this world who made life a little brighter.
We burried her under
the same tree where we put her grandmother Yosha, mother Youta and son
Zhdan to rest.
Zima will be deeply
missed....
Look not where I was
For I am not there
My spirit is free
I am everywhere
In the air that you
breathe
In the sounds that
you hear
Don't cry for me cause
my spirit is near
I'll watch for you
From the other side
I'll be the one running
New friends by my
side
Smile at my memory
Remember in your heart
This isn't the end
It's a brand new start
