Very sad news again. We have had to say goodbye to our lovely Koira. At 1 day short of 12 years and 7 months, old age had taken over and the decision had to be made. The gentle giant leaves his legacy in his offspring in many countries. His character will never be forgotten, and he leaves a paw print on our hearts.

Koira DOB 12 December 1997

Koira (Sh Ch Shuvick Coriolanus) a black dog, gained 6 CCs, and has enjoyed a few days working on the shoot.

Bred by Mrs Sara Way, he is from the first litter sired by the multi Champion Caballus Grand Slam.

Koira is a great character and will take visitors handbags, or things out of them knowing this amuses everyone and gets him attention.

He also talks, he rumbles in his throat, which can sound like a triumphant elephant, usually with something in his mouth.

He brings our slippers when we come in, and if he feels mischievous will take a mobile phone or remote control, as he knows we will go after him.
