My heart broke when Boyd passed. I had just moved back to the area after being gone from everything Sheltie for 20 years. I had been going to shows, hoping to see Boyd. He knows now how much I have always loved him. He took me under his wing, guided me with one of his own puppies and finished that puppy for me. He was kind, courteous, funny, proper and very private. And he loved Juanita and his dogs, in that order. Everyone who knew him loved him and will miss him. He is irreplaceable. God bless him and my thoughts are with Juanita.

Juanita and Family: I am so very sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of you and Boyd mentoring me when I first became interested in showing Shelties in the Breed Ring. My first show dog was a CH Brandywine Prime Time Daughter which began my line and I have a CH Brandywine Safari Hunt Grandaughter, CH Lakedale by Sunrise. Boyd will be greatly missed by all who new him. He was truly a gentleman. Every day shared with the ones we love is a gift to be thankful for. May God comfort you in your sorrow. Carol Smith

For Guy Johnson...is anyone helping Juanita with the dogs? I've been gone so long I don't know her close friends. I don't know if you'll even remember me. I am in SW Michigan and want to help if she needs it. I don't know who to ask.
