Bob was a mentor and good friend and helped us get started in the world of dogs. All but one of our longhairs go back to Vance. We miss him and the positive influence he has had on us specifically and the sport in general.



It must be truly be heaven for Vance and Foxer now that Bob is there with them.



Our prayers go out for Bob and all his family.
