"Rocket" was our handsome tricolor boy out of Tracey. He was 15 1/4" tall, non-white
factored, and non-bi-factored. He needed only his majors to finish his championship.
Rocket was very moderate, with a stunning outline, pleasing headpiece and soft melting
expression. Rocket's correctness, beauty, and exuberance were a few of the reasons I
loved this boy.
Rocket was extremely athletic and loved high places. His favorite place to sleep was on
the back of the couch behind where I sat. After our beloved Carley died, it was very
hard for me to get back into the swing of things with the dogs. Carley was my "True
North", and my direction felt totally lost without her. Rocket put the wind back in my
sails, and put me back on course. For that reason, he held a special place in my heart.
Sadly, Rocket was lost during a show in Louisville, Kentucky on March 15, 2003 while
under Boyd Smith's care. He jumped out of an unattended pen, and hasn't been seen
since. I have made 3 trips to Louisville to find him, but he has not been found. Our
hopes were someone had him, and would call us to return him. However, we now believe
he was killed the night he got away, but Boyd doesn't have the guts to tell us what
really happened that night. His disappearance leaves a VERY big hole in our hearts and
our breeding program.
