Dear Gareth, Kate and Noel,
Thankyou for your kind words.
When I first came to Australia Maureen Cooper had just bred a litter of pups, out of which she selected Jill for me.Since then Jill has always given me her all,a little dog with a wealth of talent and an enormous heart.Over the years she has perfomed and succeeded at the highest level, bringing Christine and me a tremendous amount of pleasure. However, all good good things must come to an end, and when Jill brought me back the final bird which completed the Tassie Championship at the weekend, I realised that this was the last time that she would delight me with her ability, it was impossible for me to control my emotions.The little darlin is now bowing out.----- but, gracefully.
