Samson in Memory

Samson

I ONLY WANTED YOU

They say memories are golden, well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you, a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place no one can ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Dam: Champ. NAPAL du Clos des Cèdres (Belgium * grey born black * Selected in France, Belgium, Germany * Champion France)

Samson was born in Belgium. I had wanted a grey Briard for a long time and was quite surprised to hear from Yazoo's breeders that there was a puppy in Belgium who would turn grey and that I could have him. This male would also be an interesting breeding partner for Yazoo, so I didn't hesitate long, even though I usually only take puppies once the youngest dog in the pack was fully grown – Yazoo was only nine months old and gave me plenty to do. Nevertheless, I deviated from my plan and brought Samson home from Belgium at nine weeks old. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned with his color: Samson was the only one in the litter who remained black… I didn't mind, because Samson was a wonderful boy. I was sure I'd get a grey Briard eventually.

Samson

Samson and Yazoo were inseparable from the start and became a great team. And Samson now accompanied Yazoo on our travels to dog shows. He was shown at several shows in France, Slovakia, and Austria and achieved excellent results. Since Samson wasn't the happiest dog when traveling by car or at dog shows, I stopped doing that and did what Samson really enjoyed: visiting the training grounds and doing a little obedience and protection work, as well as the occasional tracking exercise. And Samson especially loved being harnessed to the Sacco cart with Yazoo and going for rides around the area.

Samson & Yazoo

Samson enjoyed life, had lots of fun with Yazoo and his children, and was an uncomplicated dog who never once challenged Sándor's rank or tried to start a conflict with him.When Oh-Lala joined the family, she too became a much-loved playmate. The two would have been a perfect match for puppies: in terms of bloodlines and temperament, and I certainly would have gotten gray puppies from this pairing. However, I couldn't breed them because they were both CSNB carriers.

On March 15, 2005 - just two weeks after his 9th birthday, far too young - Samson crossed the Rainbow Bridge completely unexpectedly. He was never sick in his life ...... he was bursting with strength and energy ...... he loved life so much. ...... Early in the morning he was still playing in the garden, then he refused his food, lay down in his spot and didn't get up again ...... on the way to the vet he suffered a stroke.

Samson September 2004

He left behind emptiness, profound sadness, and incomprehension at his untimely departure... he has gone ahead to join his parents, friends, and some of his children. Someday the day will come when we will all be reunited...

Samson, the years with you were indescribably beautiful, fulfilling, fun, and unforgettable. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to be with you all this time and for being such a wonderful friend and protector. You live on in all your children, but that is no real comfort—I miss you so incredibly much. ...... THANK YOU, Samson, for all the joy and happiness you brought me. I will never forget you ...... Your place is now deep in my heart... Shortly before the first anniversary of his death, I commissioned a tribute to my unforgettable Samson, a portrait drawing based on one of my favorite photos of him. This drawing is an exact replica of the original, a beautiful work by Michaela Liegle - Tierportrait.at

Yazoo's Horror Trip

Flying with Dog? Experience which NO dog should ever make.

Flying with AIR FRANCE
Yazoo This is Yazoo, my funniest, cheekiest, most characterful, most loveable and most trusting Briard. She is the only one of the gang that I believe is capable to make a flight in a kennel box in the cargo compartment. That is why I decided in fall 1999 to have her join me to my trip to Canada and the United States. In Canada I would live with friends who have two daughters of Yazoo, in the States with other puppy owners. So I booked with AIR FRANCE: Yazoo in the cargo compartment and my Yorkie girl Gizmo as dog in cabin. Planned was vacation from Aug. 4th to Sept. 1st, 2000 with some shows in both countries and with the Rassemblement and National Specialty 2000 of BCA (Briard Club of America). The trip to the States should also take place by flying.

Departure Vienna
Besides my own two dogs I took an 8 weeks old Briard girl from a breeder with me; this puppy should fly to her owners in the States.
The flight was going from Vienna to Paris, were I had to switch plane. Before taking off I was told that both the dogs had been loaded and that the were calm. Wow - FINALLY vacation!

Switching in Paris
Getting on the plane in Paris I called attention that besides Gizmo being with me as dog in cabin, two more dogs should be in this flight and that this need to be checked. Shortly before taking off I was assured twice that the dogs were on board.

Landing in Toronto
Then, after seven and a half hours the relieving words of the captain: in some minutes we are going to land in Toronto; sunshine and summer temperatures - in contrary to Europe. I was at the first destination of my long awaited vacation.

Where are my dogs
Landing in Toronto While leaving the plane a stewardess said to me that in few minutes I would see my dogs. But what happened then and would furtheron happen, I had never in my life expected, this vacation turned to be no vacation but a horror trip: Just at the gangway I was asked by a woman from the ground crew if I was Mrs. Friedl and I said yes, with the remark that now I would be brought to my dogs. The answer hit me like a punch: NO, YOUR DOGS ARE IN PARIS ..... Everyone will imagine what went on in me now.

AIR FRANCE forgets dogs in Paris
That also my luggage had been left behind in in Paris, did not interest me in any way, but it seemed to be the special attention of the airline, as they had only interest to hand over 150 CAD to me, so that I would be able to buy the most important things until my suitcases would arrive. Concerning information about the dogs they just ignored things after they had told me that for sure the two would be taken care of properly.

Helpful Canadian authority
The only thing I had to do before checking out was to show the paperwork of the dogs, which I had with me, to the responsible authority (Canadian Food Inspection - Agriculture Canada), so that everything would be fine for taking over the dogs that should arrive the next day with the same flight in Toronto. I went through that procedure; the employees were very considerate and assured me their regret about these circumstances. They let me know that I could count on each and any assistant on the next day, so that everything would be arranged fast.
Thereafter, I had to go to the office of AIR FRANCE to receive a "ref. number" with which I would be able to take over the dogs and the luggage. Further on a hired car was would be ordered by AIR FRANCE to pick me up at the house of my friends on the next day, get the dogs and bring me back again. A phone call to abroad was refused to me, they said that out of technical circumstances it would not be possible to make long distance calls. They just aspired to get rid of me as fast as possible. Oh well, luckily I had my cellphone with me and was not dependant on this incompetent ground crew.

AIR FRANCE does not know where the dogs are
As soon as I was out of the airport I called the breeder of the puppy as well as Yazoo's breeder in France. As well from Austria as from France people tried to get information about the dogs at the airport in Paris. Through the american Briard-List we informed and asked for help. AIR FRANCE in Paris excelled by either nobody picking up the phone or incompetent people were replying the calls. That was how it continued till deep in the night. NO information about the dogs - we did not even know where they were, at the airport, in a boarding kennel or what so ever.
The statement on the next day, that AIR FRANCE did not know if the dogs were on flight #358 made us thinking. They said there was only a telefax telling that both the dogs should be loaded. My Canadian friends and I decided to not take the hired car as we feared that this one would probably not be big enough for the kennel boxes and the luggage; they would bring me to the airport with their van and would helpfully assist me. A call at the hire company brought up that AIR FRANCE had not even ordered a car. What a reliable airline - really to recommend!

Veterinary on call
Together with the woman who should pick up the puppy, my Canadian friends decided that we should consult a veterinary after the arrival of the dogs, to have them checked as a precaution. A friend of the woman to pick up the puppy would be on call.

Arrival of the dogs
Finally arrival of flight #358 from Paris. We were brought to the luggage counter, my suit cases were already there, but not the dogs. Then puppy barking ........ and an awful stink before the dogs were in sight. The look that was "offered" to us made our blood freeze in the veins: Yazoo was lying apathetic in her crate, with sunken eyes that stared into space, nearly no breathing, she did not know me. The puppy did not make a poor impression, it was happy when we spoke to it. The crate of Yazoo abounded completely in dirt, the one of the puppy not that much.

Veterinary help URGENTLY necessary
The veterinary was called immediately, on the part of Canadian Food Inspection we were immediately seen off the airport building, so that we could care about the dogs that were not allowed to be let out of the crates in the building.The veterinary was present fast, with an equipment as if he had suspected what would come towards us. Yazoo could not get out of her crate alone, we had to pull her out. The puppy came out of the crate happily, but seemed exhausted and panted incredibly much.

The veterinary detected dehydration with Yazoo, the pulse was nearly not to feel, pigmentation in the mouth was nearly white, no reaction to any words, she through up slime several times. She was given IV immediately and a shot for promoting the blood circulation.The puppy had not lost too much body liquid, but got a bit of the IV to be on the safe side. Some time later it was allowed to offer the puppy water and food. I was informed later on that there had not been any more problems with the puppy: the small girl had arrived her new home sound and happy.

Yazoo is being treated

Yazoo's condition did not change much, so the veterinary continued to giver her IV. Slowly some life came to the girl and with helping hands she could finally get up after about two hours and make some not too safe steps on her wobby legs.

Authority proceeds
Meanwhile, the employees of Canadian Food Inspection took photos of the crates, the dogs and the veterinary attention as well as noted dates for their report. From side of this authority an investigation against AIR FRANCE will be started because of neglecting the dogs. In Canada and in some other countries animal care is written in big letters: offence against it is being punished with high fines but also with jail.

Veterinary report for activities of authority
After having finished his treatment the veterinary had to give his report, prior he got my statement about watering and feeding the dogs: The puppy had had water after the departure from Vienna and had for sure been taken out of the crate. Yazoo had been without water for about 40 hours (although I had fixed a water bowl at the inside of the crate door, where it still was after arrival in Toronto. Easily water could have been offered from outside) and for sure she had not been taken out of the crate, had been lying in there for about 40 hours. She had lost between 30 and 50 percent of her body liquid. Ahead of departure from Vienna on Friday the puppy had been last time fed on Thursday afternoon, "Yazoo" on Thursday morning. The puppy food that had been attached to the crate was not touched and still fixed to the crate. Both the dogs had not been fed, the excrements in the crates were the rest of digestion since Thursday. According to the statement of the veterinary Yazoo would have only survived another 2 to 4 hours.

Yazoo totally healthy after 3 days

Recovery
Yazoo has finally recovered speedy. For one day she was only given water with salt, sugar and carbonate - a cup every hour. Since no problems such as throwing up or diarrhea appeared, she could have boiled rice with salt, sugar and carbonate on the next day, again small portions, and finally on the third day she could have added kibble food to the rice.

Consequences
Yazoo turned to be five years old just two days after her arrival in Canada, a very special day for me, since it had really been 5 to 12 for her. It was a blessing in disguise and I have drawn my consequences from this experience: I will stay in Europe with my dogs, I will make my trips - like I did already before - with the car. From time to time one has heard about forgotten dogs/animals or ones that arrived in the wrong location, but who ever believes that it happens to oneself?!

Article in Pulse 24 online from August 2000
The video clip with interview, which has been recorded by the Canadian news channel "City Pulse 24" on August 8, is unfortunately not longer online available - only the above linked article.

Yazoo in Canada The outcome for us out of AIR FRANCEcause
On account of the negligence of AIR FRANCE the following things turned up in my vacation, which was no vacation: A big veterinary bill (which I have of course paid with pleasure!!!), the first shows in Canada expired. The flight to Philadelphia expired as well, furtheron the entered shows in the States. I visited my American friends, but I went there with the car and had to live in a hotel. Back in Canada no feeling for vacation turned up, because slowly Yazoo had to be prepared to get into a crate again. Finally I had to decide for a premature departure and therewith the further shows in Canada also expired. I was scared to switch plane in Paris, so I flew up there, checked out with Gizmo and Yazoo and went by car and train - spread over several days - back to Austria. These days then turned to be a bit of relaxing and recreation for my dogs and myself.

Yazoo Winners Bitch USA

Upshot
Until now there is no word of regret from side of AIR FRANCE, no excise, just nothing towards me personally. Also the transmission of this happening in the Canadian TV did not bring a reaction, just lapidary the comment of a manager to the reporter, that she should tell me, that there would be an arrangement in some way. Another phone call at AIR FRANCE in Canada made the one on the other end hang up when he heard my name. Back in Vienna I have authorized the lawyers' office where I work; we will see how things continue. In some weeks we will have checked if Yazoo's kidneys have come to harm; I hope not. But, anyway, I have gained a real big victory: YAZOO IS ALIVE - no show result can ever come close to that win!

May 1, 2004
Yesterday I went through one of our daily newspapers and found an article reporting about the Horrortrip of Yazoo in August 2000. Some weeks ago I was asked about that event, because they had found this story in my homepage, and at the occasion of the beginning travelling season the topic "Flying with animals" was planned to be taken up. At that time nobody could tell me when this article would be published. On May 1, time had come ..........

With a click on the thumbnail you can get to that report. Yazoo's Story is in the very right columns (only available in German language).

April 7, 2009
In the March issue of a Swiss animal journal under the topic "Holiday with animals" the following article was printed. After nearly nine years Yazoo's horror trip is still not forgotten.

A click on the thumbnail brings you to that article (only available in German language).

On August 7, 2005, the 10th birthday was celebrated, a day in Yazoo's life worth to be celebrated. Everything was alright, Yazoo was healthy and funny, happy as always ......
16 days later the World just caved in: Yazoo went over the Rainbow Bridge in the evening at 7:59 ...... completely unforeseeable, completely unexpected ..........

Three times Yazoo was born: on August 7, 1995, when she saw the light of day. On August 4/5, 2000, when she survived the horror trip to Canada. On June 2/3, 2004, when all of a sudden within a few minutes she broke down with high fever and was back home only 24 hours after a hard emergency surgery. She was always a fighter - completely according to her sign of Zodiac - but sometimes also a "kamikaze" - an extremely endearing kamikaze. And this characteristic fas finally the reason why Yazoo failed in her last fight: never ever she indicated when something was wrong with her, always in the very last moment. To the bitter end she pretended to be the funny, healthy, bursting with energy girl ..........
There was no fourth chance for her and myself: Her last fight was lost by this strong, incredible, wonderful present of Heaven, in spite of all the vets' effort on August 23, 2005, at 7:59 p.m. .........

August 20, 2005 - Does a star look like that, when stopping to shine three days later ???

Yazoo, I cannot believe that you are gone. I cannot believe and I don't want to understand that my beloved Star does not shine any more, that your light on earth has disappeared. Yazoo, all the family members, who have already gone over the Rainbow Bridge, took a piece of my heart with them, but you took nearly all of it ... How shall I continue???

Only once in a life - if ever - one has such a very special friend and companion, and YOU are and were this "once in a life".
My dear Yazoo: Thank you that you have owned me for nearly 10 years; thank you for the "education" you granted me; thanks for all the luck you brought me; thank you for your infinite trust in me; thanks for your wonderful children - especially Whoopy and Frizzy, who keep a bit of your spirit alive in this house; thank you for your consolation and cheering up when I needed it; thank you that you have been and will always remain forever the Champion of my heart .......... thanks for YOU.
You are gone, but in my heart you will live forever, and one day we meet again on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge, where you will wait for me together with all the other family members from here. Until that day I truely miss you ........

People from all over the World sympathize with your good-bye. Not only friends and owners of your kids, but also people who have only met you once or have heard or read about you. Here is a small excerpt of this sympathy:

Inger - your special admirer and "mother" of your son "Chaos" (Sweden)
"She hung the Sun the Stars and that Moon in between.
She was my dreammaker,
now she's the wind beneath my wings."

Lynda, loving "mom" of your daughter "Celine" (California/USA)
"A little piece of my heart is gone tonight. Yazoo meant a lot to me as the mother of Celine, and the enjoyment I had handling her after she had gone Winners Bitch."

Ylenia, "mother" of your son "Falco" (Italy)
"Now we have a guardin angel looking down at all of us and protecting us."

Ruth, the "mother" of your son "Ferri" (Switzerland)
"My heart is in big grieve about Yazoo. I thank Yazoo for the great son she gave us. If one knew Yazoo one knew how a Briard should be. ... I will always carry your beloved girl in my heart. Her son Ferry will always remind me on her, the Queen of Briards. ..."

Deb und Charlie, the "parents" of you children "Raven" and "Shadow" (New Hamshire/USA)
"... We have given our two beautiful briards extra hugs for the loss of their mother and they send you their love. We will continue to send good thought to you and yours. ..."

Lana, loving "mother" of your children "Cou" and "Romeo" (Pennsylvania/USA)
"I have just returned from the UK where I saw the shocking news of Yazoo's passing. I was accessing her webpage for our cousin to enjoy this superlative Briard when this occurred.
To say that we send our deepest sympathy sounds so trite compared with the heartfelt pain which we share with you. I would call, but knowing well your feelings (and mine too) we both could probably not converse at this time.
She was truly the epitome of so much of our breed and gave all of us her charm and joie de vivre. Her many progeny will immortalize her soul forever for your extended family.
You and the family are deep in our hearts with your bereavement on occasion of her passing."

Edith und Alois (Austria)
"... She is waiting there (on the Rainbow Bridge) for us for showing us, who knew and loved her, the way to Paradise. Yazoo is gone, she now is free and our tears wish her luck. Tonight I will look up to the stars and will know that Yazoo is looking down on us. She will watch over you, she will protect you and will be the most shining star in the sky."

Ingrid Eder (Austria)
"... it was a big shock for me - as she was one of my darlings! - a gorgeous girl with lots of heart and brains. I am incredibly sorry that I will never again meet her on this side of the bridge."

Don & Kay Cline (USA)
"Yazoo was a MOST SPECIAL girl indeed."

Veronique Maroux (Canada)
"Take comfort in the beautiful children she has produced and that are carying her great qualities."

Edith Greten (Germany)
"I am sitting in front of my desktop crying."

Doris Schechter (Germany)
"I have always held Yazoo in high regard, she really was a dreamlike Briard - and for sure a dreamlike partner for you and your pack. Yes, it also saddens me very much and it's hard for me to find words."

KR Ernst Kugler (Austria)
"A dog's life does not end with the death, it only ends with the end of love to it."

Lots of thanks to all those who lit a candle for Yazoo, who spend consolation, who are here for me during this hard time and who show understanding for me.

On August 26, 2005, early in the morning, Yazoo was cremated in my presence and since then forever watches over everyone here in the house, to where she brought so much luck, happiness and life. A warm thank you to those friends who immediately - without hesitating - generously donated for the purpose that this sincere wish of mine comes true, so that this very special star of my life can now always be with me.

Since November 25, 2005 a most beautiful drawing of Yazoo decorates a wall in our living room. A tribute to one forever unforgotten Briard Angel:

Yazoo

For the World you were just someone,
for me YOU were the World ......

Austrian Junior Champion, Selected Slovakia, Pre-Selected USA, Selected USA and Italy * Winners Bitch National Specialty BCA/USA 2000
HD 0/1, CSNB clear * full breeding confirmation in France, Austria, Slovakia, USA and Italy

August 7, 1995 - August 23, 2005 (Import from France)
Sire: Sél. Champ. PURSAN du Clos des Cèdres (Champion France 1996, Selected France 1996, Etalon d'Elite)
Dam: Champ. MAGALIE du Clos des Cèdres (Champion Luxemburg)

Yazoo was imported to Austria on October 2, 1995. She descended from a very well-known and old French line, and she was at that time one of the last grandchildren of worldwide famous Rubis. Already at the age of 7 months Yazoo was in the show ring in foreign countries. At her very first show (Munich 2006) the judge added the comment "an enrichment for the breed" to her judgement paper. Our trips to shows were to Belgium, France, Germany, Slovakia, Canada, USA and Italy. In an interval of only 29 days we got the "Austrian Junior Champion" with her. Until 2005 - apart from the breaks when she had puppies - this girl was shown by us. Only one single time in all her show career as a grown up Yazoo came out of the ring with the bad and absolutely not justifiable result "very good", at all the other shows she was always in the front status, was placed or Winner and Best of Breed and also Best in Show.

In summer 1997 we went to France and Yazoo passed the French breeding confirmation with excellent. At the show which took place at the same time with an selection of the most excellent dogs of the region, she won her class at the age of nearly two years and turned to be second best Briard of the show. In May 2000 she passed the Slovakian breeding confirmation with excellent and was selected. In July 2000 she was placed among big concurrence fifth best bitch of Europe in open class at the European Briard Championship. In August 2000 she passed the CGC in America (only 5 days after her horror trip), was pre-selected on the same day, selected on the next day, won her class at the National Specialty of BCA (among 19 bitches) and went Winners Bitch 2000 of America. At the same time she passed the American breeding confirmation. After a one year's break Yazoo was selected in Italy in October 2001 and was also admitted the full breeding confirmation in Italy. She was only missing one more Winner in veteran class and would have been Austrian Veteran Champion - she was already entered to the show, but died one month before.

Yazoo was her life long a funny, lively, self-confident, self-assured, vivacious, impetuous and bursting with energy dog. After her horror trip to Canada she even placed more confidence in me - although she went through real bad experience that time - than before. When I was off with another dog and she had to stay at home by way of exception, she insisted every evening to get up on my bed to spend the night there, instead of being together with the other ones - as long until I was back home.

Already on the day of her arrival Yazoo showed us that she was completely different than the other Briards here in the house. Our so far methods for socialization and education had to be changed completely, as with the in those days traditional way there was no getting at her. Not that she was a problem dog - no, but she called anything into question what she was asked for or what she was demanded.

Yazoo was an extremely social dog, she adopted any new puppy - being a Briard or of another breed, and she play with anyone who was around her. Had she enough or if the other ones overshot the mark, it was enough that she was only looking at them ...... in spite of her unbounded good-naturedness she had towards other dogs a charisma which made all know immediately that she was the chief and would at this point by no way tolerate "no buts", that she was the uncrowned queen (as we liked to say).

We had three litters with Yazoo. Most of her puppies were exported to foreign countries, also to oversea. It was HER children who made this kennel well-known worldwide and it's them to whom we owe our breeding success.

This wonderful girl was something unique; we know way too good that we will never again in our lives will have a dog like she was. Such a dog - if at all - one only has once in a life. Yazoo is today still being missed as if she had just gone ..... the pain about her loss is not even a bit smaller than in the beginning. We miss all the ones who have already gone over the Rainbow Bridge, each of them had something special which no other had, but Yazoo was just YAZOO.

After her passing we ordered a tribute for our unforgotten Yazoo, a portrait drawing from one of our favorite photos of her. This drawing is the absolute mirror of the model, a wonderful work of Michaela Liegle - Tierportrait.at)
