My History

Jan's Family

New Zealand Grand Champion Despreaux Seymor (Imp Aust). Now aged 10 and a half years.

I have started updating some of my pages on this site. It will take me a while! Seymor died in Oct 2006 aged 11 and a half years. A true Ambassador for the Breed and so dearly loved. His son Frankie died a few weeks before and Frankie's son and Seymor's Grandson Albert, my beloved house boy closed his lovely brown eyes 3 weeks ago (Dec 2007) and went to sleep forever. Right by the pantry, his favourite place. He took a huge chunk of me with him as all our Pyrs have done. Young Icey flew to Hawaii in Sept this year so that leaves us with just three boys, Kermit, Herbert and Basil. I don't think we've only had 3 Pyrs since 1995! Just Kermie left from the golden era of our grand showteam but the memories never fade. If there is going to be a life hereafter then they'll all know where to find me.....
