Can.Ch.Wiscoy Tormentil Sloan (B/y) ~Sloan~ I was owned and loved by Sloan from March 29, 1999 February 23,
2012 If tears could
build
a stairway,
and memories a Lane.... I'd walk right
up to
heaven,
and bring you home again.
......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.

applause!
