BELLA VISTA WESTIES OF THE PAST:

Time with our dogs is too short…

Here are the ones that have left us.  They may be gone, but they will never be forgotten.  They have helped make Bella Vista what it is today and we are very grateful for having the opportunity to share our lives with them.

Alexis   

Alexis of Daisy Valley CG, JE 

Alexis was our first Westie and will always hold a special place in our hearts.  Because of her, we fell in love with the breed & all things terrier!
Bella

CH Dawn’s Sabella Vanilla CG, CD, JE

Bella was our first show dog.  She opened the door to the sports of conformation, earthdog & obedience.  Her Certificate of Gameness was the first title earned at Bella Vista.
 Otis

CH Bella Vista’s Traveling Man

Although Otis left this world way too soon, his genetic makeup continues to have a positive influence in our breeding program.

Amelia

 

Bella Vista’s Flying Solo VCD-1, SE, AX, OA, AXP, AJP, NAC, NJ-V

Amelia (a.k.a. Critter) was the Westie that introduced us to the sport of agility.  Because of her, our lives will never be the same!  She was the Westie behind the Bella Vista Training Center.

Ava        

CH Bella Vista’s Avalanche Lily JE, CDX, NA, UCD, RL-1

Ava taught us that it is ok to both smart and pretty.  People will love you for who you are—not who you think you should be!  She was the first AKC Champion bred by Bella Vista.

Indy               

Bella Vista’s Indyan Summer SE, CDX, NA

Indy was our independent little girlie—she knew what she wanted and was not afraid to try to get it—whether it was a rat, a cookie or a scratch.

Chrissy

CH Dawn’s Hole N’ One ME, NA

Chrissy was our first Master Earthdog.  She loved everyone and everyone loved her.

Bubba

CH Bella Vista’s Oh Yes He Does CD, JE, RAE, AX, OAJ, MXP, MJP, UACHX, RL1-X2, RL2-X2, RL-3, ARCHX, RL-V, OAC, NJC, NGC, O-TN-N, S-TG-N, NAC-V, FDX-MF, SSFDX-MF

 

No words can express the joy that we received as a result of sharing our life with this wacky boy.  He taught us to laugh at life and to enjoy each minute.  As you can see from his extensive list of titles, he was the best!  His freestyle, agility and obedience antics will live in our hearts forever.  He was the heartbeat at my feet and he is missed every single day.
