Spotakiss' grandpa gentle Ben died on Tuesday.Its a sad day in the world of Saint owners.He was the winningest saint ever,six time best in breed at the westminster kennel club,81 all breed best in show and more than 250 group ones.I only met him a couple times and he was sweet.He will be missed.

It is so sad. I am not at all into saints and the different blood lines. Do you have a photo of him??? I understand he must have been a very special dog, with lots of wins in the ring.

I know 9 is a long life in dog years. It is just sad that it is so short in ours. Sounds like another very special boy will be very missed by a lot of people.

Poor Spotakiss! I'm sorry he lost his grandpa :'( What an acheivement though! I'm impressed! Well, maybe Spotakiss needs a little vacation at Aunt Natalies house to cheer him up... forever.....he e hee. Well, I knew it was a long shot :-\ Give him snuggles for me anyway!

I'm sorry to here of the loss of such a great aminal. But he will live on through Spotakiss and others and pass those incredible qualities on in many generations to come. What a fantastic legacy!

Hay Spotakiss is an offspring.He was his Grandpa.Where do you live?We got Spotakiss last year at xmas time.He is a woderful dog.Ben was also great the times I saw him.

jules,
It was indeed tragic about Ben. But he did pass away in the loving home
of one of his owners. I am friends with the lady you bought Spotakiss
from (cute puppy...I seen him when he was little...LOve the name)
I am hoping to get one of Ben's grandchildren in DEc. if the breeding is
sucessful. Ben isn't really gone... his spirit will always be in his bloodline.
