Roo came to Keymaster from Bell's Great Danes in nearby Auburn, Washington. I had planned to breed a litter sired by Roo's father, Ch. Black Market Once in a Blu Moon CD anyway, so I was very pleased to have a daughter of his in my breeding program. While she did not turn out to be the show dog I had hoped, her high intelligence and aptitude for obedience and agility were apparent almost immediately.

Tragically, Roo died suddenly of a heart arrhythmia when she was one year old. She lived a short but high quality life with lots of walks, dog shows, and visits from her Dane friends. She was particularly enamored of Schnitz, who lovingly and gently played with his much smaller friend. She was a sweet, loving soul who is deeply missed here at Keymaster.

Sleep softly Roo-Roo. You are forever young and forever in my heart.
