Our dearest Dylan was a happy and boisterous character who left a huge gap in our home and our lives after he died from a tumour at just 5 years of age and having won 1 Challenge Certificate - he was just coming into his prime. Dylan's children are all delightful characters. We have two Dylan grandchildren here at Fortress Kennels - Ch Fortress The Hurricane and Ch Fortress Matawhero Magic, with Fortress Jerry's Lass being shown in Timaru. Dylan also has a Great Grandson now being shown by Lisa in Christchurch - Fortress Classical Magic. Ch Fortress Matawhero Magic - Rana was named in memory of her Grandfather Dylan whose ashes were buried under a lovely vibrant rose called 'Matawhero Magic' to reflect the glorious colour of Dylan's coat. He was an beautiful dark copper red under his brindle stripes, his beautiful colouring was always commented on. Click on pics for a larger view




A brave little soul who lives on in his children, grandchildren and great grand children.
