Dutch Shepherd Forum

Dana vom Kelterhoff IPO3 FH CGC 3/16/2000 - 11/17/2014
I "just wanted a dog to do Schutzhund" - but I got more than I ever dreamed. I got a constant companion through veterinary school, through divorces, through life's joys and struggles......a superstar that made everyone take notice, from K9 officers to Herding Instructors to International Champions......an ambassador for Dutch Shepherds.....a teacher, partner, and muse for dogsports......a wonderful mother and the very reason that Vrijheid Kennel exists.
Words simply cannot express the grief I feel from losing her. Thank you to those who have expressed condolences and kind words. Until we meet again my girl.

OMG, what a gorgeous and godly creature.
your pictorial tribute is so great. you are so lucky to have all those times captured in photos.

those pictures and your words brought me to tears. her obvious strength and the power of your words struck a deep chord with my own experience.

i am so sorry and sad that you have to go through this terrible experience of loss of this incredible gift of life who was your best friend.

What a moving video....it brought me to tears.
I am so, so sorry for your loss...

Very Sorry for your loss.

What an awesome dog!

I love the progression of photos... It's a wonderful tribute to a majestic pup. It made me sorry for you, but also strangely happy--she obviously lived a full and content life! The pain of loss will never completely go away, but it'll eventually get almost completely crowded out by all those wonderful memories.
