Simon was a gift to me from my husband on my birthday. We drove to the breeder and Simon was the last puppy she had left from his litter. Simon's mother's name is Isolde and his father's name is Snickers. Isolde is a Red Long Hair and Snickers is a Chocolate with Tan Points. Both are very handsome dogs. Sadie was the family Christmas gift. We wanted Simon to have a doggie companion to grow up with. Sadie was also the last one left in her litter. Simon and Sadie have the same mother, Isolde but different fathers. Sadie's father is Tristan a Red Long Hair.

Simon and Sadie are real members of our family. They sleep with us and go just about everywhere with us. Simon went to the bike races last summer (Sadie wasn't born yet) and they both go visiting their "grandparents" Tom & Louise. We take long walk around the golf course and the lake. Simon and Sadie share everything...food...toys..and the humans.

Simon plays with the neighborhood dogs, Boo a Shepherd-Chow mix, Kaya a German Shepherd, Austin a Yellow Lab, Floyd a Blue Mural Sheltie & Foxy a Sable Sheltie. They are all bigger than Simon but they are very careful not to hurt them even when they get to playing rough. Sadie has only met the 'big dogs' a few times and is totally smitten with Boo. Because it is winter they don't get to play outside very often.
