When I was looking for a new pup from a breed I knew well, I was drawn to Manson and Evie's breeding programs through dog world magazine. They sent me a tape of Champ at play, stating he was unstoppable with a ball. And that was that!!

We waited patiently at the airport in New Jersey after a 5 hour drive and watched as our new pup was wheeled from the plane. That was the beginning.

Since then I can say that Orion has proved a true Champ offspring. Although never shown, he has been nothing but incredible. It has been always so obvious that he comes from true blue royalty!!

He is constantly playing with an unimaginable stamina level. Orion is the consummate family guard, and has always shown an amazing intelligence level.

Our family thanks "Champ" for just being, and providing us with many years of laughter and great companionship. I can only hope someday our government will lift the senseless decree, banning this and other breeds, so we can have our own Champ offspring.

Our heart felt condolences to Eve, Manson and all of the people whose life he touched for their loss.

Dale, Brandon, Orion and Tyler
