Chuck & Ellen's Canine Family Pics
This page is dedicated to our extended
canine family.
This is Bifrost's Corena Corena (call name Corena) and Bucca Dhu (call name Bucca). They are pure bred Newfoundlands born February 13, 2005. Their
father is an International and American Champion and their mother is
an AKC Champion. Newfoundlands are renowned for there swimming ability
and love of water. Bucca Dhu was originally a Cornish Water God but
through the centuries the Cornish mythology adapted to a water sprite
that would guide lost sailors. Corena Corena comes from the Freddy Fender song of the same name. We have had Bucca since May of 2005 and we just got his little sister Corena (Bucca is 7 hours older) October 2006. We are hoping to train them both as a water
rescue dogs and try our luck in the show ring, but most
importantly Bucca and Corena will be loving members of the family.
When full grown Bucca will be about
28" tall at the shoulders and will weigh about 150 lbs Corena will be about 26" tall at the shoulders and will weigh about 120 lbs. The picture of
the larger dog is CH Boradaile's Shannon Brown CGC, Bucca's
grandmother. She is about 26" at the shoulders and weighs about 125
lbs. This will give you a fairly good idea of how big Bucca will be
when grown. You can find more information on Newfoundlands at Newfoundland
Club of America. More information and pictures of Bucca's parents,
Ch. Bifrost's Beren O'Boradaile (Beren) and Die Elvira vom Reisrand
(Elvira), can be found at Bifrost Newfoundlands.
The
following are a tribute to Katarina (Kat), Svetlonia (Loni), and Mishka. Kat and Loni both
crossed over the rainbow bridge in 2004 and Mishka joined them in 2006. They will be fondly remembered
and greatly missed.
Kat was a pure bred Black Cocker Spaniel who was 12. Loni was a pure
bred American Eskimo who was 13. Mishka was a Chow/Lab mix who was 7. They were our friends, our companions,
our family. May they find peace and happiness forever.
