Nifty - you were the wings beneath my feet. My inspiration, my joy, my companion. We discovered so much together, conformation showing, obedience, helping out the juniors and giving them confidence in the ring.

We travelled a lot of miles together - putting a championship on you, on the campaign trail and then when we took the youngsters out for their turn. You were my co-pilot on the seat beside me. Now the miles I travel seem longer without you there to keep me company. Not a day goes by that I don't miss you - your picture is on my desk at work and in a place of honour in the house. Someday we will be together again - and will run thru the fields and chase the squirrels and cuddle and talk as we did for so very many hours.

Caty, without you there would not have been any Majekin Schips. My whole breeding program has been based on you, and the result has been all that a breeder could ever hope to achieve. You live on in the descendants in my home now. Nifty was your one true love and you and he are together again with some of the others who have gone before. My love and memories of you will endure forever. Sleep well my little princess.
