BACK
Kadallah Maharajah Flicker II
1969 - 1982
Flicker was true to his breeding ~ elegant, magnificent, aloof, yet also a playful clown.   He was the boy who never growled in his lifetime and tolerated a child's whims:  pulling sleds in the snow, home made obstacle courses, and lots of heeling patterns.  Although he was willing to humor me in his training, somehow it was all beneath him.  Looking back, he was an amazingly stable and wonderful dog. 
Heimdallr's Anders "Bosco"

"
He was such a great dog and there is no other dog that had the personality and the potential that Bosco had for this work.  He was impressive when he was working and a fun, loving friend. He really touched all of us and we will all miss him very much."
R.I.P. Big handsome boy.
