Last year was a tremendous year of change for me ... with the loss of a woman I loved, the loss of one of the best dogs I have ever owned in my life (and the last direct offspring of Missy/Poncho, etc.), not to mention the end of my 23+ year breeding career ... some parts of the year were indeed a little rough ... and yet I now have a better woman, a lot more freedom, with many more opportunities on the horizon.

So I look back at last year with both a sense of loss and a sense of relief, while I look to the future with a sense of vision, direction, and hope.

And it is with this spirit that I wish everyone here a Happy & Prosperous New Year

Cheers,

Jack
