I
can tell you that I am ever so personally grateful to Sir B for being both
Glory’s sire and Rissi’s grandpa... You should be so proud of the tremendous
contribution he made to the breed in many countries – not just Britain.

Know
that he will always be with you through his children and children’s children.

There
is never a moment that I haven’t appreciated all of the wonderful dogs
behind our Willem and our Rasi & Partout (both out of B.G., Willem’s
littermate). There is a definite sweetness and character that must be influenced
by Bacchus. Kay so frequently spoke of him and of you. We are thinking
of you. He truly was a great dog and he will continue to “shine” through
his offspring.

One
of the greatest is gone but not forgotten.

I
do enjoy seeing the influence he’s made on the breed here in the US.

You
did all you could Marcelle and gave him a wonderful life – not every dog
owner can say that – in return he gave you his all and in the end you did
the last loving act you had to do – you let him go with the love and dignity
with which he lived his life.

Although
I did not meet him personally, I know he was mostly responsible for the
wonderfully funny and loving nature of his son Aust & NZ Ch Aisance
Lord Odin (AI) so its like I knew him just a little bit! I thank Bachuss
for him, and you for letting little parts of Bacchus live among us over
here.

I
am so sorry to hear about Bacchus’ passing. He was such a wonderful dog.
He is the reason I got into the Sam line. I have no complaints! I only
wish I had more of it.
Alleyne

He
was a very special dog – my own love of the breed centred on him too.

Bacchus
was a very special dog with a temperament that nobody could fault – the
epitome of a Belgian that very few other dogs could emulate. As well as
this, he had beauty and the ability to pass on his qualities to others.
Judith
& David Cloutt |
|
We
were at the Belgian show in Kirkfieldbank in Lanark and Alex called me
to come and see this beautiful grey dog... he would have been young at
that time and the beautiful coat really caught Alex’s eye, and you know
the rest – he had to have a grey dog.
Alex

Bacchus
was a unique animal with special qualities and a unique character that
will be remembered by many people. You have been very lucky to have had
him and he will be cherished forever.

I
know what a special boy he was to you and no matter what their age it’s
always hard to say goodbye. As they say remember the good times.

takes everything, but it can’t take memories.

He
had been a good friend to you both and I know you will miss him. He has
produced well and I enclose the KC list
[listing

I
knew one of his daughters (Kay’s Glory) fairly well, and she was a wonderful
girl – if she was representative of what he produced, he did well.

I
co-own a grandson of Bacchus with Alleyne Dickens, Bonheur Nom de Plume
(Jairouk de la Fureur du Crepuscle x Belamba Lynet). “Reece” owes his outstanding
temperment to the dogs (and their breeders) before him and I am eternally
grateful to both you and Bacchus.
Lori

He
was one of the true ambassadors of our breed, and I am proud to say that
I met him.
Kay
and Phil Morris |

In
the US, many people have seen Bacchus without realizing it, since his beautiful
head is often found on notelets, bookmarks and refrigerator magnets! Thinking
of “Sir Bacchus” with sadness and yet with joy in the wonderful things
he did for our breed.
Kathy
Madden, USA |
|
The
breed has truly lost an ambassador... rejoice in his triumphs and memories.
Carole
& Bill Corbin, USA |

I
hope the tremendous contribution he has made and the legacy he has left
are helping you to cope.
Margy

It
doesn’t seem like 15 years ago that your wrote about getting him. I remember
it well because I thought Bacchus was such a great name. He did have
a life of wine, roses and love didn’t he?
Helen
Hittesdorf, USA |
|
What
a lovely, sweet boy, and I feel honored that I had a chance to sit for
awhile on your couch with him! Although I only met him when he was older,
he was still a wonderful dog and I remember our conversation that night
as if it were yesterday.
Lynn
Brandenburg, USA |
|
We
are very proud to have him in our pedigree. We often speak of him... Glory’s
daughter, StarBright Glory De La Lune(Tessa) out of our Taylor (Tobara
We Will Rock You) continues to pass on her mothers’ and grandfathers outstanding
qualities... Bacchus will live on thru his children
and
grandchildren.
Nikki

I
was very sorry to read about Bacchus. I remember seeing him in the early
days, I think, about a year before we got Pippa, at Southern Counties,
and thinking what a magnificent dog he was.
Helen
Kronfeld |

I
feel it as if it were one of my own. He did so much for the breed and was
such a wonderful dog in himself.
Amanda

When
I visited you in 1991 it was a privelege and pleasure to meet all of your
dogs,
but
especially him.
Deb

15
years is a long time, all l can say is you have a lot of good memories
of him, try and concentrate on those. I know it doesn’t help much.
Glenn
Moore, Australia |

I’m
so thankful that Bacchus gave me ‘Chance’. My boy achieved everything beyond
my wildest dreams in the ring – but more importantly, he inherited all
those special and important things that Bacchus had to offer.
Sue
& Mike Young |
|
My
young Terv bitch is a grand-daughter of Sharon Redmer’s Glory, so a great
grand-daughter of Bacchus. She is a pretty red girl, but she will excell
in performance – especially herding.
So
his spirit lives on.
Deb
Eldredge, USA |
|
Try
to remember the good times.
Sue
Roberton |

I
was sorry to hear that you lost your beautiful Bacchus. His spirit lives
on here at Beaverbrook in his two beautiful granddaughters, Beaverbrook
Exquisite Dream and Ch. Beaverbrook Espresso.
Paula,

We
were deeply saddened to learn that you lost your most special guy, Bacchus.
We weren’t fortunate enough to meet him, but know the great influence he
has made in our wonderful breed.
Sue
& Dick Symons, USA |

I
just heard from Lynda Trotter about Bacchus. I’m away from home working
in New Zealand so I hadn’t heard. I am very sorry and our thought are with
you.
Heather

I
remember him in the ring when young, with his long nose, elegant attitude
and kindly expression, a lovely dog and I’m so sorry.

Sorry

I
have seen a video tape of Bacchus that Saber’s owner had sent to Jan George.
Bacchus was so beautiful and what a great temperament, on the video tape
he was playing in the backyard with several young dogs and a puppy. He
was not even phased by that puppies playful antics. I have told many friends
about this beautiful gray Terv with the wonderful personality many times.
My puppy also has a wonderful personality and if she is half the dog that
her GrGr Grandfather was I could never ask for more.

I
will always remember one of my favourite ‘men’.
