Breeder: Darlene & Larry Kofoed & Janet Burke
Owners: Christine Cameron & Janet Burke
Boomer was a fantastic show dog and companion. He won hearts everywhere he went, both in and out of the show ring. He stamped his puppies with his type and soundness as well as intelligence. Although used very little 80% of his puppies finished thier championship titles.
Here is Boomer with his sweet daughter Shuggah (Moonshine's Pink Champaign).
The night I came home from a judging assignment to find this magnificent animal dead was the day my heart broke. I will never know exactly what happened, or how it happened. Boomer is waiting patiently at the Rainbow Bridge and I am looking forward to the day I can be re-united with this wonderful dog again. Meanwhile I have five of his puppies to remind me of his greatness. Boomer I miss you!
Once he brought me ribbons In colors wine and gold. A promise of the future Sweet mystery untold. Ribbons that were hung with pride Near portraits in the hall. Believing then, in miracles That we could have it all.
Those ribbons now lie meaningless Tied neatly with a bow. A lesson learned that love is the prize And not who wins the show. Because ribbons are for ponytails And gifts beneath the tree. And love cannot be measured by A Group "one", "two" or "three"!
