We're extremely proud of Maddie and Linda! One of our Briallu puppies and my younger
sister..........
Maddie is now (AKC) CH. MACH. BRIALLU LOVE HER MADLY UD, RE, NF. She is the first Welsh Springer
Spaniel to earn the American Kennel Club's prestigious MACH title! For her latest acomplishments, Maddie earned
her AKC Utiltiy Dog title in obedience in April 2007, and her Novice Fast title in Agility in June 2007, and her
Temperament Test certification in July 2007.
I am immensely proud of Linda and Maddie. Linda has taken every bit of the potential that Maddie
showed as a young puppy and channeled it into a dog who works well, and loves to perform. Maddie gives her whole
heart and soul to everything she does. Linda and Maddie are an incredible team! We love
them both.
With her non-akc titles included, Maddie is
now CH. MACH Briallu Love Her Madly, UD, RE, NF, ASCA UD, U-CDX, Can CD, TT, CGC
Maddie was such a special puppy; sweet, eager, outgoing
and motivated. We had planned to keep her, but we knew Linda could help her reach her potential in ways we would never
achieve. Linda is the only person that could have ever taken Maddie from our home.

Captain (Cappy), the former Abbott, is the darling

He now lives with one of the very few people in the
world with whom I would have shared him. He is living the life that every Welsh Springer dreams of, trying his
paw at field work, obedience, agility, and the breed ring with Sandy Madden in Massachusettes. Cappy is handsome, sweet,
and a retrieving wonder, and he and Sandy make an awesome team!
Congratulations to Sandy and Captain for his recent wins in the conformation
ring. Cappy now has 6 points towards his AKC championship! What a handsome boy!

OFA Good
On Monday, June 26, 2006 we said farewell to Mazie. She was wonderful, sweet, charming, and incredibly devoted. She enriched
our lives, we loved her, and we will always miss her.
Her legacy lives on in her daughters, sons, and grandpups; both those
living here with us, and the others who enrich the lives
of the people who love them. She has gone on to join the dogs who have graced our lives before her.
Rest well Mazie, 'till we meet again!
Mazie
was BOS in Veteran Sweepstakes at the 2000 WSSCA National Specialty in Illinois. She proved the old adage that
quality shines through, from youth to old age. Mazie was Best in Puppy Sweeps at the 1992 Regional Specialty in Georgia,
and Best of Opposite Sex in Puppy Sweeps at the 1993 Independent National Specialty in Pennsylvania. She was the dog
always at my side, a great traveling companion and chore dog, and I am proud to have been her breeder, owner and her
best friend.

Owner/Handler Barbara Shuklis Smith
Kyna, my very first
Welsh Springer, was the most wonderful dog imaginable. She went EVERYWHERE with me. She was the perfect
companion. She helped me to fulfill so many of my dreams. She was beautiful, happy, and eager to do anything I
asked of her. She came to me by way of Bill and Jane Pferd. I had the very fortunate opportunity to be invited to the
Pferd's residence on the day in 1979 that they were to select a puppy from a litter sired by their wonderful Welsh, Nicholas.
Bill and I got to temperament test and evaluate the entire litter, and each of us were able to select the puppy we wanted.
Kyna looked me in the face, and followed my every move, and destiny was realized. There have been many Welsh Springer Spaniels
in my life since that day, and I have loved them all, but none have ever meant more to me than Kyna.

| "Lilah" - Greyhound |

LILAH
DOB: December 1991 - Adopted: December 1993
On October 3, 2005 we said good-bye to Lilah, our greyhound. She was just two
months shy of her 14th birthday, and shared our home and our lives for almost 12 years. We adopted
her from New Jersey Greyhound Adoption Program (their 2nd adoption!) in early December of 1993, the month she
was turning 2 years old. The track may have been finished with her, but her real life as a dog was just beginning.
The evening we went to select her, out of a group of 4 girls that Jennifer had arranged to be brought down from a track in
New England, she decided right away that SHE was to be our greyhound. We walked into the large fenced yard, where
the five newly rescued greyhounds were allowed to stretch their legs. "Pixie Lady" took one look at four
year old Piper and decided this was her girl, and would not leave her side. The other greyhounds barked, ran, dug,
jumped, but not Lilah. She ran when and where Piper ran, and followed her everywhere she went. When
we introduced her to one of our Welsh Springers, whom we brought along, she passed the test with flying colors, and seemed
to decide right away that this could definitely be a friend.
Within a short amount of time Lilah learned to climb the stairs, so she could share Piper's bed - hey Piper was
so small, and that bed was so big and soft! She shared Piper's bed up until her later years when she
could no longer get on and off of it. Lilah came alive with her Welsh Springer companions. She even swam
and retrieved bumpers from the lake with them. She just figured that's what real dogs do. She
could outrun all of our other dogs, and used to love to circle our entire yard, where she could only be caught
up to by the Welsh that figured out that cutting corners sometimes worked. Lilah was gentle and
sweet with everyone, including our cats. Visitors to our home always seemed to gravitate to Lilah. She was forever eager
to great everyone who came through our front door as if they had come just to visit with her. In her later years
Lilah developed a special bond with Roxie, our Schipperke, who loved to jump up to lick Lilah's face, and sneak onto the sofa
to nuzzle up to her. They looked so cute together; our largest and smallest dogs sharing a bond that
transcended size. Lilah has left her mark on every member of our household. Lilah was a wonderful
addition to all of our lives. We loved her, and we miss her.

SUNSHINES MY AIM IS TRUE CGC
"AIMEE"
02/17/96 - 7/17/06
Owned by: Barb & Rich Smith
Bred by: Linda Lazzarini & Lynn Hughes Cobb
(Hall of Fame Sire, ASCA CH Starstruck of Bainbridge CD STDds X CH Sunshines Pistol Packin' Mama)
"Aimee", Sunshines My Aim is True CGC, was our wonderful
blue merle Australian Shepherd. She arrived from California to share our home via an anxiously awaited, incorrectly re-routed
flight, as a young puppy. Aimee had an awesome temperament. She was the smartest, kindest dog I have
ever owned. She was the ultimate puppy-sitter! She helped us raise all of our Welsh Springer puppies
during her 10 years here at Briallu. She left us way too soon. We will miss her every day!
