Memorial to Gem
Ch.Paquestone's 24 karat Gold CGN June 26 1999 - Feb 16 2007
Gem passed away in her bed beside ours on Friday Feb.16th. She was my first Great Dane, our best friend, our protecter, our teacher of puppies. She is deeply missed.
Gem had dabbled in everything from conformation ( finished her championship from the classes with a group 4) to agility ( first dane to trial in the AAC I believe) and her preferred sport.....squirrel watching, squirrel chasing, anything to do with squirrels really.
Gem was diagnosed with Dilated Cardio Myopathy (DCM) on Dec.20.2006. She had been having regular heart checks up until that point. So far the 2 litters (13 puppies) that we had with Gem, only 1 puppy has DCM. But it is our belief that it is genetic so none of her offspring will be bred.
