~Shepherd~ Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Picture courtesy of Cabal Canine Candids Goodnight Sweet Buddy, Maria's' pride and joy. Taken too soon. It was discovered today that the beautiful "Buddy" Gr Ch Tarraray Midnight Star had an inoperable tumour growing under his heart causing his otherwise healthy body to breakdown due to restricted heart function. He was given his wings. Maria, Bill and family are devastated. Buddy was born Born 9 May 2000. Buddy obtained his Australian Grand Champion title and he also was awarded number one Groenendael in Australia under the dogzonline point score in 2006. He gained his Herding Test Certificate on 6 April 2008 after passing two successive Herding Tests. Buddy was also the first Tasmanian Grand Champion Belgian Shepherd. After Buddy retired he went back in to the ring to help a couple of young junior handlers get some experience being the gentleman he was. He was also going to be my tutor before I became pregnant!!!! RIP beautiful boy and watch over the wonderful family that you were such a huge part of. When Midniara is ready, she will share more about this very special boy.

Diva Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 RIP Buddy. Watch over them all from the bridge. If the tumour under his heart was an hemangiosarcoma, that is also the way I lost my Groen boy many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Shepherd~ Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 I should add that the tumor wasnt tested due to the position, so its not known if it was hermangiosarcoma he had an ultrasound today that showed the large mass compressing his heart. Its such an awful shocking discovery. It takes me back to our terrible time. Cancer (if it was that) is such a terrible thing in dogs because their pain threshold is so high, they hide it from you almost to the very end. The vet told Mids it had probably been growing there for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
