SKYLINE'S LIVING ON THE EDGE

" Palmer "

Maggie was bred to Ch. Bee-Mike's One Night Stand, "Jordan" in January of 2003. We were graced with 5 Puppies on March 8th, 2003, we are extremely pleased with what we've produced in this litter. Palmer remained with us, He had been futurity nominated for 2004 where we are proud to announce, he made both cuts.  This boy was already turning heads at just six months of age, We were proud to say he took Best Puppy Dog at the Maryland Boxer Club on September 21, 2003!

Palmer's Pedigree

Palmer went Winner Dog and Best of Winners at the Chesapeake Kennel Club of Maryland under Mrs. Chris Walkowicz for his very first point, the most exciting part of this win is that it came from the BBE class!!!

In June of 2004 Palmer took Winner Dog and Best of Winners two days in a row at the Skyline Kennel Club under Judges C. P. Herendeen and Dr. Asa Mayes, respectfully. He then went on to take Winner Dog again the very next day at the Shenandoah Valley Kennel Club under Judge Marjorie Martorella!! Two weeks later Palmer did us proud again and took Winners Dog and Best of Winners at the Rock Creek Kennel Club under Judge Constance M. Barton. All four of these wins were from the 12 to 18 month class, again completely owner handled!!!! 

In July 2004 Palmer took Winner Dog under Judge Rita J. Biddle, Esq., the next day he went Reserve Winner under Judge George John (Anna) Wanner. Two days later Palmer went Winners Dog under Judge Joan P. Scott. Palmer was expertly handled to these wins by Marylou Hatfield!!!!

In Loving Memory of a Wonderful Friend
~ PALMER ~

Just for now, We must say Goodbye... 

Gone all too soon my sweet Mamma’s boy,
Never has there been a greater loss!  

My light, My love, My special joy,
You will live forever in my heart!  

Cause of Death: Wolff-Parkinson's White Syndrome (W.P.W.)

Diagnosed By Dr. Kate Muers during a routine holter, confirmed by Dr Luis Braz-Ruivo 

Palmer was asymptomatic when first diagnosed except for what appeared to be a type of sleep apnea, within 6 weeks his condition became critical, we were never able to stabilize him in order to get him the procedure most frequently used to interrupt the abnormal pathway (a radio frequency ablation) by Dr. White in Ohio. This procedure would have offered him a completely normal life. Not every heart condition is SAS or Boxer Cardiomyopathy...sometimes we get a new condition thrown at us to completely turn our world upside down.
