| Red Legends Acadian Sun aka Big Papi July 6, 2006- April 8, 2010 |
| Thank you to Cathy and Kirk Smith at Red Legends for allowing us to have the joy of owning him. He was half brother to our girl Pumpkin and best buddies with our youngest daughter. He was born July 6,2006 and was making trouble and capturing hearts since the beginning. He was our younger daughter’s dog, which was evident the first day we met him. After a six hour drive to Ontario to see him in person, he spent the entire afternoon tugging on the hem of her skirt. It was love at first sight! He outweighed her by a long shot, but she merely needed to push on his side and he would roll over for a belly rub. He was a calm, sweet dogue who liked nothing better than a nap on the couch or by the heater with his best girl. Click Here to view his pedigree |
