Our wonderful Silken (BISS BPIS Can Ch Striders Silken V Drogheda) has left us at 10 1/2 years. Silken blessed us with outstanding puppies which carry on herexcellent breed type. She also gave us some exciting show moments including BISS and BPIS wins, Group placings, and most recently, a BOS at the 2002 GDCC National Specialty at 8 years of age.

But more importantly, she gave us years of love, devotion and companionship. She will be deeply missed.

Share our memories of her here.
