AFFENPINSCHER BREED NOTES - 4th July 2008

Sadly John Turner has had to have Ch. Bodebi Moon Magic (Macie) put to sleep to save further suffering at 6½ years old. She had had surgery to remove bladder stones but did not respond well. After not eating for a week and further investigations, she was diagnosed with kidney stones as well. As the toxin levels in her blood were so high and recovery was unlikely the inevitable decision had to be made. A daughter of Ch. Cransbere Kindamagic at Bodebi ex Ch. Bodebi Maybe the Moon she was bred by John and his late brother Gary and was a great favourite in the household, particularly with Gary. She has two daughters one owned by Sarah McGill, Bodebi Diamond in the Ruff and Bodebi Last Chance owned by John. It is always distressing to have to part with an old dog but more so in one of Macie’s age. Our sympathy goes out to John at this time.

Barry Canty will be taking over as Acting Treasurer of the Affenpinscher Club following the recent resignation of Jane Horwood.

Please note that judging of Affenpinschers at Windsor will start an hour earlier than previously announced. We are now in the ring at 9.00 a.m.
