For her first eleven months, Angie lived with breeder Carol Dunster in the state of Washington. Carol was kind enough to help Millie work through the strict Hawaiian regulations so that Angie did not have to stay in quarantine. Angie finally went home to Hawaii on May 14 2004. Top left is Angie as a puppy, top right she is checking out one of Mom's teddy bears. On the middle left she is at church with Mom and is being cuddled by a little girl.

Missy also helps Mommy Sherry with the Pet Therapy program and partipates in school and obedience class demos. In the top photo Missy is showing her colors as an all-American girl and in the bottom picture, she has just had a bath to get ready for an obedience demo. She does a good job of showing what an obedient dog should do. The Rifes raise and show both Silkies and Weimaraners and now a German Wirehaired Pointer. Missy and my Misty are half sisters; they have the same father. |
| Many of us in the Silky world have become acquainted with Mark Robitaille of Juneau, Alaska and his Alaska dogpak. Mark travels the country with his ten dogs in his RV. Read about the Alaska dogpak and especially about Bud the fearless Silky who saved Mark's life. Bud gave his life to save Mark from a bear on an Alaskan mountainside after Mark skidded off the road in a terrible snow storm. Tissues definitely needed but Bud's story is an inspiration and a testament to this wonderful breed. Note: You may want to use your "Esc" key at the top left hand corner of your keyboard to silence the music on this page since Mark's pages also have music. http://bearonessbears.com.au/marksdogpak/mybud.htm |

| Blackrange Shalee Maxwell Dean Ch Shalee Tawny Mist Royal Silk x Ch Shalee's Fortune Teller June 21, 2002 Human parents are Rita Dean and hubby in Northern Texas A typical Silky, Maxwell has lots and lots of energy and is full of playful mischief. He loves to chase his bigger and older canine brother Buddy (bottom row, far left), also loves to bark non-stop, especially when he has to alert Mommy about the mailman arriving. Like a good Silky, he is aggressively protecting his turf. In the top picture, he is sitting in the flowers; he might try to eat them if Mommy doesn't watch. Going down, in the picture on the far left, he is doing good immitation of looking angelic along with his Yorkie cousin Toby. In the middle row near picture, he is still practicing looking innocent after tracking in the snowy mud. Bottom row far left maybe Buddy is just a little jealous because after all, it was his home first. Bottom row near left is Maxwell with Mommy in her Red Hat Club attire. Maxwell runs around his house attacking Mommy's plants and whatever else he can find. However he is a much-loved little cutie. |
