We would like to salute a very important little dog who passed away at age 17 plus years old in February. Charm (Ch. Kinwashkly Silver Charm) was an important part of our crew, and lived a great long life. I had selected a big, flashy marked female from our litter of 12 puppies born in 2007, but the day before people started coming for their puppies, I observed that the runt of the litter was both spunky and a better than average mover and changed my mind on who I was keeping. So Charm joined our team, and proved her worth by finishing her championship in the show ring and placed in many derby stakes by being that dog, the one who finds the most birds. Charm was the embodiment of the phrase of "meat dog", with a work ethic second to none. She hunted every second she was out there at top speed. She was also a great natural retriever. She made the breeding program, and here we kind of got a disappointment, as she was a very low fertility dog. She had a total of 10 living puppies out of 5 litters. However, those puppies were very good ones. She is the dam of

Run free, Charm, you were very loved.
