"Sharky"
Am. Can. Ch. Benalta Batman x Ch. Kaydees Minuteman Roses R Red
May 8, 1996 - December 28, 2007
Bred by Kate McMillan (Minuteman) & Kay Deveyrac (Kaydees).  Co-owned with Kate McMillan.

"Sharky" was my first Mini Schnauzer, a dog I considered myself lucky to own.  I fell in love with his sire, "Bruce", and when the opportunity arose to give Sharky a home, I jumped on the chance.   Kate brought him to me to see at a dog show as a 3 month old baby, and I bought him on the spot.  At 6 months of age, he came to live with me - Kate wanted to put him in a proper jacket, knowing that I had never worked a Schnauzer coat and might have trouble with it -  and we formed a bond so strong together that I hated every moment we were apart. 

Sharky was quite the character.  He always made me laugh and I thoroughly enjoyed his company every day of his life.
