Schooner after a long, productive and happy life departed as he lived, with grace. He will forever be in our hearts, the best boy ever!

Schooner and our Ruby, Can/Am Ch Seabury’s Goodby Ruby Tuesday, AOM, CGN, produced a lovely litter of 11 pups March 28th, 2013. Look for four of the pups who are scheduled to debut in the Conformation ring later in 2013.

Schooner’s last show was the 2012 PWDCA National Specialty where he just showed in Sweepstakes for the fun of it, placing third behind two younger campaigned American dogs. At the 2012 PWDCC National, Schooner, Nash and Saydie placed first in the Generations class, showing quality over three generations of breeding.
