......13 years ago sitting in an empty shopping center parking lot, where JL (Chablais Labradors) was to meet me on his way home from the 1999 MVLRC show. 
He was delivering my little black dog from Wiscoy Labradors. 
When he opened the crate a small puppy with a face only a Mother could love, was placed in my arms. 
JL smiled and commented that you couldn’t deny his Sire was Arnold. I think he said his face was “special”, a polite way of saying “homely” hahaha 

The bond was made the moment he and I touched, and I will never own a greater or more handsome dog than Sloan.

Sloan's last time in the ring, with Jill,  was at the 2011 LRC of the Potomac show, 
where he had the time of his life,grinning from ear to ear, as he showed off  for the crowd. 
Then repeating the same wins at LRCP Bare Bones Oct. 2011, with Margaret Wilson, in what was then to be his last show.

His "JOIE DE VIVRE" was a delight to be part of.  Thank you , my dear , sweet Sloan for this memorable week. 
Watching him strut his stuff in the ring was as thrilling for us as it was for his many fans! 
We know he loved your  applause! 
 
 

The Name Sloan is of  Irish and Gaelic origin, and the meaning is..
"man of arms, a warrior "
