Killian was the hellion out of the Lewis/Willow litter born in the middle of winter in Ohio. Little black boy traveled with Sue Towne from Ohio to Florida to join our household. When he showed up in town, we did not tell the children that we were getting another pup, but we took them to “visit”, knowing, of course, they would want one. So, we loaded up in the car, with a strategy in mind to eventually give in when they finally asked if we could take one home.

They romped and rolled around with his litter mates, Mary, Killian, and Henry. As expected, they were begging to take black boy home. What a joy to be able to say “okay”, and load him up in the car on that March day in 2011. We brought Killian home to join Finnegan, our one year old Vizsla, and they got along immediately. I don’t know if he knew what to think, but he was very careful of Killian’s small size. They eventually grew to love each other and Killian’s happy go lucky, bouncy yet clumsy demeanor complemented our household well. Killian is a very loving, cuddly, soft Vizsla. Whenever consoling is needed in our home, you can rest assured he will be there to lift you up (and knock you down and lick you).

He finished his Show Championship in September 2012, and was notorious for 2nd place in Puppy and Derby competitions in Field Trials. Killian wakes up with a positive happy-to-be-alive attitude every single morning, and you can’t help but smile and be reminded of what a joy life is, and how blessed we all are to have each day. When the kids get in the car from school, they say they can’t wait to get home to see Finn and Killian. It sure looks like the dogs feel the exact same way. Killian continues to give us a positive outlook on life every single day. It’s tough to get mad at Killian, because he has such innocent intentions; and even it you DO get mad, it’s impossible to stay there. I can’t imagine our lives without him.

Thank you Sue Towne for this beautiful boy!
