Justice came into our lives after a long 8 month wait from WAY
out on the west coast of Canada in Surrey, BC. He was a little fireball
right from the moment he confidently walked out of the crate at the airport.
He came to us from the late Kathy Cooper of Coultrain Rottweilers and we are so thankful to her for gracing our lives
with this little man! Right from the get-go I knew this was going to be
one fun dog to train and to learn with and boy was I right.
Justice is 8.5 years old
in the picture to the right.

In May 2003, Justice was awarded the Top Obedience Dog Award 2002 for
placing fifth among Rottweilers in Canada in points accumulated during
obedience trials. We were so excited, we worked so very hard and all of
that work really paid off.
Justice was a medium-sized male standing 25 inches tall and
weighing in at 105lbs. He had an outstanding temperament, he was
confident and trustworthy; he was
pretty happy-go-lucky, making friends where ever he went! He was a joy to live with from the time we brought him home and
was
wonderful with our children since the day they came home. He had not
been a part of our breeding program so we will never know what
he could produce. He was neutered in the fall of 2003 just
before his fifth birthday. Justice remained
the number one obedience dog and puppy trainer in our home until the day he left
us.

 JJ and me
at our BH Trial May 2004
Justice's mother,
Murphy,
was the first Canadian-bred Rottweiler to obtain her herding titles.
Check out our
herding page
to see Justice in action!
Justice earned his BH title in
May 2004 at the age of 5.5 years.

In July of 2005, it was
confirmed that Justice made the Rottweiler Club of Canada's Honour Roll for 2005!
Just a little icing on the cake for me and my number one MAN!
And, in
March 2006, Justice earned his CGN title like the great BIG man that he
was!

Justice officially retired from the obedience ring
in 2004. He enjoyed his retirement on the couch, and was always busy
'training' the puppies that come for visits! He was diagnosed with spondylosis of the spine in 2 of his vertebrae in
early 2007, and although not entirely physically the same boy, he was still the same fun-loving
goofball we have enjoyed all along!

Justice at his best - in the tall grass at my brother's farm in BC
in May 2007. |
In June 2007,
Justice underwent surgery to remove a cancerous lump (Fibrosarcoma)
from his left elbow. The surgery did remove the tumor in it's
entirety, but he needed another invasive surgery to repair the flat
of skin placed over the hole left by the tumor which did not take
the first time. He was such a special boy. He was a
trooper, and handled the pain, the poking and prodding very
well.
The second
surgery was not successful either and we were faced with the choices
of amputating his front left leg, or the unthinkable. Given
his spinal issues, and the amount he had been through already, we
opted to release him of his pain. Justice passed over the
Rainbow Bridge
June 27, 2007. This decision has left a hole in my
heart, and although it was very painful to make, I know it was the
best decision for him.
I would like to
thank Dr. Beth Barrett and
Pet Heaven for making his crossing
so much easier.
