Thank you everyone have passed on your heart felt sorrow over the passing of this wonderful dog Storm you left your mark in the showring you will be sadly missed but never forgotten

It is with great saddness that I announce the passing of a truly outstanding showman a super rottweiler. Grand Champion Brabantsia Desert Storm "STORM" DOB:26/4/95 PASSED AWAY ON 24/7/06 SIRE: BRABANTSIA DANJO DAM: BRABANTSIA RIANA Storm has left his mark in the showring being a Multi in Group and Best in ZShow winner and the ONLY Rottweiler in Tasmania to win the Prestigious "NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS" in March 2000. He gain his Australian championship Title at the tender age of 12 months and Storm was the first in Tasmania, first Western Australia bred dog and the second in Australia to be awarded his Grand Champion Title I will never forget the first time I saw him in the ring he made sure his presence was always felt and won my heart! NOT FLESH OF MY FLESH, NOR BONE OF MY BONE BUT STILL MIRACULOUSLY MY OWN NEVER FORGET FOR A SINGLE MINUTE YOU DIDN'T GROW UNDER MY HEART! BUT IN IT OWNED AND ALWAYS LOVED BY BARB ANDERSON AND ALWAYS CAPABLY HANDLED AND LOVED BY MAREE ANDERSON

I know what you are going through as I had a Alaskan Malamute pup that had WS its sad to watch from a fun loving baby of 12 weeks to a 6 month old pup that couldn't get up in the end was PTS He was the only one affected with this out of a litter of 10. I had spoken to the vet at great lenghts about this and they said that 50% of vet would say its gentic and the other 50% wouldn't blame gentics. I had Malamutes for 4years when this happen and could trace back any dog in my lines on their health checks and I had never heard of it affecting Mals, Its easy to say why didn't the breeder say something but if it had never occured in his/her lines before, Sometimes you just cant help when nature takes a hand in things. There is a Op that can be done has your vet mention that

Big fan of Eagle pack I get the 17kg roughly $120 but also feed other food at night

So Sorry for your loss

I'm sorry for your loss and our thought are with you

I'm so sorry over the loss of such a wonderful dog our thought are with you

My heart goes out you I had to make a heartbreaking choice years ago when tests came back to comfirm that my mal had it and he was only six months old. You dont know how long we've got with our four legged family members but it doesn't matter if they live for 1 day or 18 years its never long enough :rolleyes:
