Well said, Barb--

There is no question that the contribution to the breed by Clondike
Kintsfather has not been in the tradional sense, but she and her humans
have set a pace and course that will not be truly realized until the
next Millenium.  The true medical impact of what David, Nancy, and
Clondike have accomplished will probably not be realized until most of
us have gone to the Bridge.  There will be generations of Pyrs and other
breeds who will thank them for, and benefit from, their diligence and
perseverence.

There have been many magnificent dogs who have contributed genetically
to the breed, but there are few who have met the challenge to contribute
as positively as Clondike and her humans have.

Thanks!  We are proud to know you!
