Monarch Sylvan Sky-Rocket, JC.

Rocket was from Ch Monarch Special Angel x Sky Run Hit the Road. 
Bred by Tammy & Shawn Smith, Chris & Patti Neale. Co-owned with Barbara Skinner. Rocket was the most independent of our dogs. He was an avid hunter, courser &  trained in agility.

We lost Rocket only 4 weeks after Grennie (see Memorial pg 2 - for the Irish Wolfhounds). Rocket was 7 years old.

Sky Run Spencer.

Spencer came to us from Barbara Skinner, initially to "babysit" Rocket.  He was a great babysitter but we fell in love with him and we asked Barbara if we could keep him. After we got Trip, he again acted the babysitter. He was a great hunter and very playful, had he not been neutered by his first owners he would have made a sensational showdog.

We lost Spence June 2005 from advanced dilated cardiomyopathy at 7 years of age.

Tobrien's Nonchalance

Shalley - was anything but.  He was our sweetheart of a dog who in his own mind was a small baby of a dog.  A head injury kept him out of the show ring - but he was a homebody at heart.

Ch Sky Run Lord of the Dance

He had a promising  show career, finishing his championship with three 5 point majors, two of them at Specialites. Dance was just starting to "Special" when we lost him. He & was a really fun dog who loved everyone & was born to party.  We co-owned Dance with his breeder Barbara Skinner.

Tobrien's Kestrel Hawk

Our very first borzoi.  We bought him from Darcy Lampe in 1989.   We raised both he and our IW, Duffy, together as puppies. We lost him at 11 years old.
