Enzo finished quickly in nine weeks of shows! Thank you to Breeder Judge Jim Polk and Judge Donald Booxbaum for Enzo's major wins! Special thanks to Judge Jon Cole for finishing our boy and to Judge Charles Olvis for cutting Enzo in the group! Enzo finished his UKC title with a Reserve Best in Show and his Canadian title at a six-show cluster, winning three Group 2's, one Group 3, and one Group 4! Enzo was also ASCA pointed.
Here are some kind words written by his co-owner Jennifer after Enzo's passing.
"With the incredible joy of owning a once in a lifetime dog comes the excrutiating pain of losing that dog. This morning I said goodbye to my heart dog.
Enzo was the first dog I showed to a conformation champion, the start of a therapy dog program at the clinic where I work, the foundation of my breeding program, the sire of my first home bred champion, the basis of a lifelong friendship with his breeder and my first mentor Sue Mayborne. I remember the first photo Sue sent me of him peeking out of the whelping box with his adorable face. Then meeting him for the first time and seeing the most charismatic puppy getting into everything, ready to take on the world. He was every dog person's dream and I was lucky to have him in my life.
Enzo has touched so many lives through his therapy dog work in my mental health practice and in the community with busy 3 & 4 year olds, developmentally delayed adults, college students, and autistic kids enjoying summer camp. He's been by my side through the death of my father, graduate school, love lost and new love found, really for most of my adult life he has been a fixture. His legacy lives on through his puppies and grandpuppies, who continue to enrich people's lives and have allowed me to know many great people and make many good friends.
The original 3 amigos are back together. I know Yukon and Brie were there to greet him in Heaven, Yukon with a ball in his mouth and Brie with a grin and wiggle.
Rest in Peace Enzo, you will be deeply missed everyday.
