IAN is NINE years old !

Certainly older (see his 8 year old picture below), but still able to smile while running. His muzzle is a little whiter and he just can't run as far or quite as fast.

He still enjoys a gentle spinkle on a hot day

Ian came to us in November, 2000, when he was almost 2 1/2, through the kindness of his breeder, Sheri Day.

Even then he exibited two characteristics that have remained both constant, and passed on to his pups: A really long white tipped tail, and a love of a snooze on the couch.

With Tulia, he produced the Valentine Day Litter (2/2001). Here he is playing with and socializing Alana.

He was an equally good grand-sire to the Presidents' Day litter (here in May, 2005)

Happy 9th Boofday, Ian !
