Goodbye to a Great Dog

It is with heavy heart that we say goodbye to Sharlet Caroe's wonderful German shepherd, Snowycreek's Easy Ryder CGN, CD, RAE VI, SHDCh. AgN, ITD.  Ryder was widely known around the Rally Obedience rings in Alberta and British Columbia and was the #1 German shepherd and #4 All Breed Rally dog in 2011. 

Everyone who met Ryder absolutely loved him! His out-going personality was amazing.
In all of his years, I cannot recall Ryder doing something 'bad'.  It just wasn't in him. 

Whether he was pulling his cart in a parade, visiting the folks at Vista Village Seniors' Lodge, holding his sit for hours at our annual Xmas Photo shoots or patiently putting up with new pups at class and new calves in the pasture,  he gave it his best.  I loved watching Ryder reload his automatic ball pitching machine over and over so he could play ball all by himself, and he was one of the dogs that could actually fire an authentic flyball machine by hitting the pedal and catching the ball in the air as it was released by the arm. 

Even to the end, Ryder had patience with Shar's new puppy, Osor's Justice Shines, who followed Ryder everywhere he went. 

Miss you, Ryder.  Always.
