It is with immense sadness that I am relating this sad news to you all! Tonight I had a call from Jake and Marys' daughter to tell me of the sad passing of that Great dog Nevada! Apparently, while out free running, today, He took off after "something" and collided with a tree, which resulted in irreversible injuries and they were left with no other option than to say goodbye to their much loved dog! To say he was loved is an understatement, to say he was admired, unneccesary! He was a true champion, by any standard you care to apply. He had so much more to give by way of his genes, which were second to none, and, I, from a purely selfish point of view, am truly grateful to Mary & Jake for allowing me to use him for Stud last year! He gave his all when on the track and will be missed terribly by all who knew him and watched him race! Mary and Jake are bereft and my heart goes out to them and the rest of the family. R.I.P. Little Big Man! :wub:
