Kim Spelmer of Shireoak Kennels in Mount Forest Ontario died suddenly last week of a suspected heart attack. She was a very large part of the existence of the Blue Picardy Spaniel in Canada.

Quite a few dogs to find homes for but most of the R&Ws have gone to a breeder in Mitchell Ontario and Vicki from Brighthope Blues has Sadies father Tristan and Grandmother Remi plus 1 R&W for the time being. We’ll see what happens, we may end up with sweet old Remi. Not Tristan though, he an a-hole
