LATEST NEWS:  Zanda's last son, Zandisha Our Delrego, Zeus, received his Australian Championship Title on Saturday, 19 November 2004 at Cooma - the same place and show that Zanda received his title in Nov 98 under Terry Syme.... Maybe Zanda was looking down at Zeus and giving him some extra luck because he picked up a 15 points Best of Breed win which took him to his title....

 

"The gift which I am sending you is called a dog, and is in fact the most precious and valuable possession of mankind" (Theodorus Gaza) These photos are of Zanda on 10 and 11 February 2003 - when we realised he was dying of cancer - but he still had the spirit to overcome his pain and do the things he enjoyed most in life - go for a car ride, go for a swim, run around the property, check out the neighbour's cow and, of course, give us love and his big beautiful cuddles.
"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.   You are his life, his love, his leader.   He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.  You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion" (Anonymous)
Goodbye our beautiful boy Zanda.  Mummy and Daddy love you forever.  You are now at rest overlooking your favourite spot, the dam,  where you will be part of our family life forever,  and we can continue to sit with you and share our day.  Thank you for being the best dog anybody could be so lucky to own and love, with the biggest heart and spirit that any dog can possess.  Loved by all who had the good fortune to meet him. A sire to around 30 puppies and grandsire to 10.  Multi V1, 9 V Ratings, Best in Specialty Show winner,  NSW 2000 Sieger  but, above all, our firstborn. RIP Zanda Panda (CH Nottrott Wilde Delrego) 1.11.96-14.2.03 We will never stop loving you or thinking of you  and your happy, friendly face.

GOODBYE

With heavy hearts, and a tear in our eyes, 
after all these years; we must say goodbye
Please understand; we've done all we could, 
if there was anything we could do; you know we would
We're sitting right here; gently rubbing your ears, 
while we talk to you softly; trying to hold back the tears

The memories you gave us, we'll never forget, 
especially the ones of the day we all met
One last hug and one last kiss, you have no idea how much you'll be missed
To look into your eyes this one last time, you tell me it's ok; you know it's your time.
Close your eyes now and go to sleep, we'll pray to the Lord your soul he'll keep
Go in peace now, our good friend, we'll stay right here with you, until the end
Dream of that special day and time when we'll meet at the Bridge; 
and all will be fine
We'll run and play, side by side, with a soft warm feeling, deep down inside

Your memory will live on in each one of us, you'll always be number 1, to all of us
Have a safe journey through the night, 
we promise when you awake, you'll be in God's light.
So with heavy hearts and tears in our eyes, just for now our friend; we say goodbye.

"John Quealy"

Message To My Masters

The day you laid me down to sleep, you prayed to the Lord my soul to keep

You sent me home, to heaven above, where I'm cradled in God's arms; covered with His love
I understand what you did, you did out of love, and I'll return that love, from my new home above.

My sickness is gone, and I'm free here to roam, 
I run and play in the meadows, here in my new home.
We play here by the Bridge, from morning to night, 
there is no rain here, just warm sunlight.
"John Quealy"
