Pippin died suddenly and unexpectedly that summer morning, after a walk, a drink, and a cookie. Perhaps a heart attack or stroke; we're not sure. He had become a little slower, a little deafer, but there was nothing obviously wrong. We scattered his ashes at Pandapas Pond, in the Jefferson National Forest near Blacksburg, Virginia, where he had spent hundreds of happy hours with us. Pippin leaves eighteen kids in Canada, all adult and healthy, and a handful of grandkids. He also leaves eight kids in the U.S., born in June 1999. Three additional puppies sired by Pippin via frozen semen were born December 7, 2004.

Read about Pippin.
Pippin came from Roanoke, Virgina
to be my hiking buddy. He was a dog with intensity and an outgoing nature who loved to meet
new people and go new places. | Registered Name: | Bentcroft Evan Peleryn |
