About Us
Sad to say, there is no longer an
"Us." My life long love, the late, great Coach Gene Morrow, died
unexpectedly. Our only son was killed in a construction accident when he
was knocked off the roof of the three-story home he was building for his new bride
and himself.
On a happier note, I have a wonderful
daughter, Geni, best ever son-in-law Charlie, and four world-class grand children,
Ali, J.T., Casey Jo and Alyssa.
And, of course, my beloved poms.
In our youth we raised show Samoyeds, or better said, I
did. Gene's love and legendary career was football, but he was always there to help
when I needed him.
After the Sammies we had no dogs in our home for many,
many years, only cats, the last one our beautiful white long-haired "Prissy" who
died of kidney failure at age 17, three months after Gene died, also of kidney
failure.
Before Gene's death, thinking dogs again but knowing that with
his health issues it would be
beyond me to raise, train, groom, show and breed large working dogs by myself, I
started researching the toy breed I call "little Samoyeds", which culminated a
few years later in Gale Rivers of GayEl's Pomeranians in Washington State
letting us have the promising Pomeranian bitch puppy who became CHAMPION GAYEL'S
SHOWBOAT RAZ BERRIE, AOM, by Champion Keepsakes Berrie Traditional, ROM x
Champion GayEl's Miss Kitty.
My love of Poms was born. I sold my tax
practice, sold my building and settled in to enjoy retirement with these
wonderful dogs. Raz Berrie is my heart
dog and foundation bitch in a small show breeding program. She and my
cream girl "SoSo" were Gene's therapy when he started becoming sick
and also my therapy and link to sanity when Gene left
this life.
I have included in this modest website a presentation
of our long-ago dogs of Wildcliffe by-the-sea Samoyeds, and of course my now
forever loves, the Showboat Pomeranians.
Thank you so much for visiting. Emails are always welcome.
Like most dog fanciers, I love to "talk dogs."
