A/C/UKC Ch Briarton's Vision of Grandeur NA
"Libby"
June 26, 1996 - January 21, 2009

Libby was the best tribute to her dam any dog could be.  She never met a dog, puppy, cat, kitten, or person she didn't like or wouldn't except.  She was beautiful and brilliant and oozed spaniel type in structure and temperament.  She was a therapy dog from 8 weeks old until she became to frail to visit at 12 years.  She was my escape artist, my lap dog, and the sweetest animal anyone ever met and I miss her terribly.  If she had lived to be 50 it wouldn't have been enough time.

C Ch Briarton's Blame Me on Cupid A/C CD
"Amy"
February 14, 1990 - 2001

Better than I deserved, Amy was always at my side except when the whelping box was full of her babies then she excelled as a mother.  Amy loved puppies and her's were exceptionally beautiful even if she said so herself.   All she ever wanted was to be where I was, my huband called her my shadow.  She was beyond special.

Am/Can Ch Briarton's Prince Charles A/C CD
"Charlie"
9/26/86 - 1/99

Charlie loved me with everything he had frustrating many who tried to hold his leash if I was anywhere within sniffing distance.  He forgave me all my shortcomings and his zest for life and love of the show ring gave me some of the best memories I will ever have.  He was a gentleman, a diplomate, and a babysitter all rolled into one.  In my book he was the best the breed has to offer.

A/C Ch Briarton Joie's Elegance A/C CDX, WD and Kenokee's Golden Griffin A/C CD
"Ellie"  2/16/85 - 5/97
"Griffin"   1984- 1995

Ellie and Griffin were my first dogs of my new married life.  Many firsts followed because of them.  My first Champion, my first CD titles, my first CDX title.  The fact that today I still own and love springers and boxers are a testament to their wonderful nature.  Had they not been the great dogs they were, my canine family might look very different today.
