Leo
Arjanan Precious Dream
(Ligray Mr Raffles at Arjanan x Leijazulip Precious Gem at Arjanan)                                  

       
          A beautiful loving dog

    13/11/1997 - 13/06/2005

    Suddenly and unexpectedly Leo suffered several distressing seizures in the early hours of
Monday 13th June and emergency consultation was sought with the vet at
The Royal Veterinary Hospital at Potters Bar, Herts.
It was thought that in all likelihood he had an aggressive brain tumour which we
had all been unaware of until the end. Sadly I held him as he was put to sleep and
his ashes are now scattered with Oliver's in a special Rose & Flower garden at Fields View.

        
           We all miss him very, very much. 

Leo was the first born son of Gemma and Rupert. He had none of his mothers “attitude” but had
inherited the most profuse, curly, soft ice white coat and black pigment from her together with his
father’s lovely nature.

He qualified for Crufts at his first attempt and won several firsts at Championship shows before I decided to withdraw him later on
in the show season when he grew just a little too big for the breed standard.

He was a beautiful, loving dog who was very much part
of the Arjanan Bichons. He loved to keep an eye on all
the others and his trait was always to be sleeping whilst
resting his head on Rupert’s back, he hated to be on his own.
