In this file are the dogs that have passed away, but are never forgotten. If you have been in Pyrs awhile, you may have had the honor of meeting these Pyrs, so enjoy a stroll down memory lane...

Barclay

"Maranatha Northern Thunder"

He was the first and taught his dumb humans much before dying much too young (age 4) of Osteogenic Sarcoma. "We still miss you."

Henri G.

"Ch. Pyrfection Henri Rousseau"

Inventor of the "mousicle" and best kisser in the morning, he will always remain in our hearts.

Daisy

"Daisy-Mae Moonshine"

Very sweet and the reason we do NOT breed bassetts. Used to stand under the Pyrs on cold winter days and use them as an 8-legged fur coat.

Phoebe

"Phoebe"

Born to another kennel and breeder, somehow she wound up with us and stayed. Very excitable in the spring when the chick-a-dees were chanting their own "Phoebe" because she thought everyone was calling her.

Howard

"Ch. Thunder's Howard Broisman"

A.K.A."The Duck" Mr. Personality, enjoyed viewing the world from the top of his doghouse. Named for an endodontist friend of Dr. Kippax who enjoys the WWF as did Howard (the dog). Died suddenly of bloat in his sleep one pretty spring day

Angel

"Am./Can. Ch. Pyrfection Helen Hyde O'NT"

I was a little devil in my teen years deliberately bugging Pyrs until they'd snap at me (hence my perverse choice of call names). They also called me "The baby Harp Seal" because of my face. The most natural therapy dog I have ever
