Message: [QUOTE="newmexicuse, post: 2819227, member: 57"] Rooyen was a show dog, not that I cared about that, but I wanted the big male from his litter, so we took him with the understanding he would be shown. His head and front were gorgeous for his breed, but his rear was not quite right & he had surgeries to his back legs as a pup, so he could not win anything. But that aside, because he was a show dog he did not get neutered until a bit later in life. So, my avatar, was from a vacation we did in Santa Barbara. It was the best week of his life. Since he was intact, he just loved greeting everybody on the beach and looking for his "soulmate." Often we would get back from the beach and Roo would just make a right turn when we got out of the car to go back. Never saw such a happy dog as he was that week. My first dog ever was my Abby. Roo and Abby were as close as dogs could ever be, I am sure that she has been waiting for him over the rainbow and that he is not alone. [/QUOTE]
