Panda succumbed to his liver disease (chronic active hepatitis) in late August of 2008.  More details on the chronology are available here. 

 

Panda (Ch Pocotesoro El Hipo Pequeño) is our first Havanese.  We started showing when Panda was a year old.  We decided to give conformation a try and he received his Canadian championship in July 2004.  He was born in October 2002.  He was bred by Sylvia Redl (Pocotesoro Havanese).  He developed hepatitis at age 3 and was very sick for about a year.  He is much better now.

 

Note:  Sadly, Sylvia passed away in December 2007.  She was both a friend and mentor to me.  Her dedication to the Havanese breed has had an impact on many people.  She always had time to give advice, support and just talk about friends, family, life and dogs.  She will be missed.  Her legacy will live on through the many lives that she touched.
