| Champion Sandylands Crystal "Crystal" English Import, OFA Cert., Eye Clear, (Cliveruth Harvester ex Cliveruth Sandylands Witch) Many years ago, my friend Marc Hall invited me to meet his most recent English import, Sandylands Crystal. Crystal smiled at me and I adored her! At the age of six, after only having successfully been bred once, she came to live with us. She produced several champions for us, and was my beloved and devoted companion, never leaving my side. She left us too soon at the age of 13 ½. Crystal was not only beautiful but a wonderful character as well. She could smile like a human and would do so on command. She was sweet, very intelligent, and could be stubborn. I used to call her my "literary Labrador" because whenever I had to leave her at home she would get even with me by finding one (and only one) of my books and chewing it. She always met me at the door with a smile. I could never bring myself to discipline her and I would never remember to pick up all the books before I left, so we compromised. I routinely collected Sears catalogs, etc., from my friends and neighbors and would leave one on the coffee table on my way out. She would destroy it (and only it) during my absence. Everybody was happy! Crystal was a treasure!! |
| Scrimshaw Placido Flamingo "Tenor" 6/6/92-6/7/04 (Ch. Scrimshaw Duckless Fairbank JH WC ex Henderland Candach, UK Import) "Tenor" was OFA Good Hips & Elbows, CERF. We loved him dearly. He was a loving, gentle soul, our "puppy sitter." Tenor loved puppies and would play with them by the hour no matter how obnoxious they became. He was a brilliant retriever, incredibly intelligent, always a gentleman. We still miss him and always will! |

| "Lola" Scrimshaw Hillside Fowl Play Wh. 7/8/94 - 1/07 (Ch. Scrimshaw Duckless Fairbank JH WC ex Lindall Personality) "Lola." Do you remember that song , "Whatever Lola wants....?" She named herself and she has never looked back. She has survived so many various crises in her life that we feel she has used up her Nine Lives and is now on Number Ten. We are sad to say that we lost our beloved Lola, almost 13 yrs. old She was a wonderful character, truly unique, who never failed to live up to the song that named her, “Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets.” We truly loved her and we miss her. |

Scrimshaw Duckless Fairbank JH WC ex Am/Can/Bda.Ch .Scrimshaw River Orchid) Gertie was OFA Excellent, Elbows clear, Optigen A1 and pointed in very limited showing. She had her father’s bomb-proof temperament, her maternal grandfather’s joie de vivre and like both of them was a wonderful retriever. She was in charge of all our dogs until her retirement. A single glance from her was enough to make any of our dogs, and anybody else’s for that matter, say “Yes, ma’am. Whatever you say, ma’am.” She spent her retirement with our Webmaster, Karen T, and her family. Her duties included gardening, mattress testing, quality control in the kitchen, playing with the grandchildren and visiting us on a weekly basis where she continued to voice her opinion on the behavior of the other dogs. She was truly a wonderful and special girl. Both her families miss her and will hold her always in their hearts. |
