Today\u2019s post is in memory of Queenie who died yesterday. Queenie, (Queen Viktoria Spod Hradze) was a founder member of our Club and the first dog to breed under the Club\u2019s guidelines. She was mother of fifteen puppies and grandmother of a further twenty-one of the UK Entlebucher population. She has been key to shaping our breed in this country and her legacy will always live on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was Queenie like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

She was thirteen years and four months old\nwhen she died and she and I have known each other for the last eleven years. She\nwas the most energetic dog I\u2019ve ever met. Not just Entlebucher, but any dog. She\nnever stopped. Show her a ball and she could run for twenty-four hours without\na break. She would have made a great working dog, instead she devoted her life\nto furthering the breed which of course is just as important. She was also a\nmuch loved family dog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funny Little Things<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At times like this it\u2019s good to remember the\nfunny little things. She was quite short for our breed and had to stand on\ntiptoe to make sure she was tall enough to pass her breeding test. You wouldn\u2019t\nthink that to look at some of her children and grandchildren. She battled\nthrough snow to meet some of her breeding partners and is the only dog I know\nwho scared Shadow. Her name suited her perfectly and she was most certainly the\nqueen of her own little empire. She was the mother of my girlfriend Bella and\nfor that I will always be grateful. She gave me kennel cough once too and I was\nless grateful for that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We send our very best wishes to her family,\nher companion Orson, and to all her children. She and Orson lived together for so\nmany years that he\u2019s going to find it very hard and we really want him to know\nwe\u2019re thinking of him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run free Queenie. Run like the wind and chase\nevery last ball you can find on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With very much love<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alfie<\/p>\n\n\n\n
