Hansie's Happy Riley James

"Riley"

whelped 4/21/1999

Riley is our "class clown" -- where there is trouble, Riley is usually the result of it. From the moment he stepped foot in our lives he has been a total jokester.

Riley was purchased as a pet in June of 1999 and he has been my sidekick and best friend ever since -- at my side through my wedding, having kids, moving and other major life-changing events. I can honestly say that I don't think I could have gotten through alot of things without him. He has my heart.

Riley was never shown competitively, but we enjoyed doing agility and obedience work together. Riley's favorite thing in life (aside from food) is retrieving his bumper by jumping off the embankment into the river behind our house. In 2002, we took his love for retrieving to Dock Dogs International.

Riley was never a show dog or part of our breeding program, but he will always be my Champion.
