The 2007 BMDCA
Health Fund Auction
Let's go to the Auction!
The tan Swiss collar is donated in memory of my late husband, Bruce, who introduced me to the breed. He died in March, 2006
of lung cancer. The black Swiss collar is donated in memory of our beautiful female Berner, Missy, who I lost to what we
think was a ruptured splenic tumor in August 2006. This collar holds special meaning to me because we got one for Missy when
she was around 4 years of age. We called it her special collar as she only wore it on holidays and to special events.
Missy knew that it was special and she acted like she was all dressed up when she wore this collar. ~ Patti Finley
