More about me
On 30 April 2008 life and death shook hands in our house – while our little foursome opened their eyes our dearly beloved Barny has left us forever. Our pain and our grief are untold. Barny has always been the heart and soul of our human and dog family. Everything we have come to know about dogs we owe it to him. His natural authority was never ever questioned by any dog, he has always been friendly and relaxed, joyful and interested in everything. As a babysitter of our pups he’s been unsurpassed. One month before his death he showed us how to do a perfect dummy retrieve despite being an old man and a sick man – dummy work has always been his passion. There has never been a better dog than him. He left us with countless beautiful memories – we will forever remember him.
A big heartfelt thank you goes out to our friend, Markus Schäfer, for these beautiful last photographs of our Barny. Thank you so much, Markus.
