BISS Am/Can Ch. Laureate Santana, ROMC
October 8, 1993
- April 22, 2008
It is with
incredible sadness that we announce the passing of one of the
breed's finest. "Tanner" was the beloved
once-in-a-lifetime companion of Denise Cornelssen, Miqelon
Shelties. Tanner charmed the judges with his
standard-perfect head and expression, and sound body and
movement and sweet temperament. His first ring appearance
was at the CSSA National in 1994, where he won his class, won
the heart of Denise and then went home with her.
Subsequent CSSA National wins included Best of Breed, twice Best
of Opposite Sex and then at the American Nationals, three Awards
of Merit and in pursuit of his fourth, he "rose to the occasion"
and took the coveted Best of Breed, being the oldest Sheltie to
do so!
Farewell,
and thank you Tan-Man.
