In Loving Memory of
My K9 Soulmates...

If Tears Could Build A Stairway,
And Memories A Lane,
I'd Walk Right Up To Heaven,
And Bring You Home Again!

On Jan. 9, 2002 at 9:42 a.m. God's Finger tapped
on my Beloved Santos's shoulder & he went
to sleep forever as he laid in my arms!

Father to none,
but Stepfather to all the puppies.
Over the last 12 years Santos was
Guardian of our home,
Playmate & teacher to the pups, and
My Unquestionable Soul-mate!

Santos was the driving force of
Inspiration of our kennel & our lives!

And although we'll NEVER get over his loss...

Through his Spirit & Courage we will somehow
find the strength to carry on.

In Loving Memory of
My Beloved Santos
1990-2002


My Dearest Santos...
Surely you know that You were the 
Absolute Most Loved Dog in the World!
Until we meet again.....
Love always,
Cindy

About Afra:
Big, Bold, Beautiful, Bad to the Bone. She is the epitome of what the German Shepherd was meant to be. She is the "Queen" of our kennels. She Rules the property....not with an iron fist, but with Silent Splendor! Her kennel name says it all...Stillen Wald.....Afra from the Silent Forest! When the "Queen" leaves her throne all eyes are on her and every female dog steps aside.

She also has the most maternal instincts I've ever seen in a dog. She cares for her pups meticulously and they're always properly arranged. You can actually hide one of her pups and she will air scent right to it.

To know her is to adore her! For some reason small children are instantly attracted to her as she is to them. She will even sit, down, heel, retrieve, and go over the wall for them. Extremely intelligent, and as gentle as a lamb...but put her on the protection field and she's a teeth-clacking wolf in sheep's clothing. She licks her lips before you give her food and has occasionally passed on this lip-licking trait to her offspring. She's crazy about balls, sticks, frisbees and swimming. Kayos is her favorite swimming partner.
