We are very sad to announce the passing of SA Ch and Sh Ch Kirkavagh Kandy of Muharraq JW, at 13 and a half years of age. Our sincere condolences to owner Andrew Begg and his partner Susan Morriss.

Kandy was a sweet girl, she remained here at Kirkavagh along with Sh Ch's Khaydara and Kooyonga until she was 19 weeks old, when Andrew and his late wife Angela saw her and asked to purchase her.

She gave Andrew great pleasure in the show ring and kept him company during the dark days after Angela's death, gaining her title just before Andrew moved to South Africa.
Through all the changes in his life afterwards, Kandy was a constant friend.

A very special girl who will be very much missed . We were very proud of her.

We are also sorry to announce the passing of another special girl - Kirkavagh Karamita at Follidown.

'Willow' was also thirteen and a half and a much loved member of the Follidown team.
She was the mother of Sh Ch Follidown Red Hot Poker JW.

Our sincere condolences to Gillian and Mike Townsend, she will be sadly missed.

The death of these two leaves Sh Ch Khaydara JW as the sole survivor of our most successful litter -
we hope that she stays with us for a long time yet !

We are very, very sad to announce that Sh Ch Kirkavagh Kalaglow died on 21st October.

A big winner as a youngster and an extremely successful adult, his show record speaks for itself.

To his owner Sylvia Stocker, we extend our sincere condolences. He was her very much loved companion for all of his life, a delightful boy, with a delightful temperament.

Not extensively used at stud, he was the sire of a Show Champion, three RCC winning children and a number of other successful offspring.

He was our first Male Champion and the first Champion, at that stage, not owned by ourselves, we were extremely proud of him.

We will all miss him greatly.
