We got him when he was just over one year old and he must have been so heart melting as a young 2 months old puppy. The biggest of all our dogs before we got charlotte. 80lbs.

He lived shy of 17 years old by two short months. Simply reached maximum strenght capacity one day, and collapsed. Did not get up for 24 hours and we carried him in our dog bed to the vet for euthanasia. He was fully conscious and absolutely did not look in pain whatsoever. Very very remarkable breeding.

He was probably collie smooth and husky. He was found at animal shleter south toronto where I used to volunteer with dogs, cats and rabbits.

Fun fact: it is said he came from the eastern township, quebec near where my favourite and maternal grandpa and grandma lived way back. I hope he had kids before we got him. He was a full fledged eunuch by the time he got to us.
