I have lost a great friend and companion who only wanted to please!
Barbara Brownridge
They Say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a special place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I’d walk the path to where you are
and bring you back again

Solomon is Hidden Creek's #1 Stud Dog, he has happily sponsored many great puppies. I can't say enough about Solomon. He is just the most happy, healthy, eager to please guy ever. Even after a near fatal car accident in Aug. 2005, and having a torn cruciate, dislocated hip and a ruptured bladder, Solomon walked away with the Award of Merit out of the veterans class at our BSCO Specialty on Aug. 11, 2006. Considering there were 12 specials, he did a fabulous job. At the time of his accident we opted out of the surgery and went with 6 weeks of cage rest and some homeopathic remedies. Even at nine, he still moves like a dream and has a temperament to die for. Thank you to Rebecca McAuley for all her hard work and to Judge Pat Gillerman (Florida) | CH Nutbutter Hiddencreeks Solomon FDJ |
Barbara, it is with great regret that I have to tell you that Annie passed on the 22 of April, 2009. She has been in my life for over 13 years, she was 15 ½ when she passed. I took her home after the test (although the Dr. wanted to put her to sleep her right away because her heart situation was a ‘ticking time bomb’). I had this feeling in my gut that she had for go home and spend the night with me and Dakota. She passed very peacefully the next day at 13:45. She was in my arms, wrapped in a blanket that my Mother had made for me, but Annie quickly made it her own. Barbara |

![]() ![]() | Aug 13, 2010 Hello there Barb: I knew that any email from me put a "wonder into your heart"! Yes, Hannah Blaze did pass away last week. Please know that as far as I know, she suffered little. I know too, it was her time, and her choice. I never thought I could grieve as much as I have over this past week, or that the silence in the house would almost be unbearable. I grew up with dogs as a child. When Larry and I were transferred to Armstrong, we got ourselves a Heinz 57 puppy, whose life was ended suddenly on the highway behind our home. Then we had the Border collie who got leukemia, and the golden lab, who had hip displaysia and arthritis. Then we got Blaze. I wonder how a dog could be so wonderful, happy and as well trained as she was, but she was the best. How can you top the best? Larry says no more dogs. He too loved Hannah, but I seldom wanted to leave her, and not everyone wants a dog along with company. I may be too old to do the puppy stage, but not for taking one on at 8 as Blaze was when you so kindly trusted us with your beloved dog. I sense I will just have to leave this one with God, and if He wants Larry's heart changed, then He will do that. Now I too need the time to heal from such a great loss. It is like her spirit is still here. I step over the matt where she slept at night, and feel her watching me, for this is how she communicated her needs. It also is very difficult to come home, and have no one to greet me. As you also know we became so bonded when I was so sick, and stuck until her last breath. It is against the law to bury your pets in the yard in this county, but that is where she is - under the peony bush. One kind neighbour suggested I package up her special things into a special memory box and I think that is a great idea. I have some nice pictures of her to add. I am not a kid, but feel kid like in missing her so much. I am sure Larry is also grieving in his own way, for grown men seldom want to admit they hurt too. Know Barb that I will always continue prayer for your family, and for the fact those 9 years ago you entrusted us both with your most favourite comopanion also. She was a gift from God first to you and then to us. Hannah means - gift from God. I keep my word, and I pray as you read this you can know she got the best of life could offer her in her remaining years living with us. We were blessed with her love and companionship. Know too that I could count on one hand the number of times I had to speak up for some boundary violation. She was just the best and will always remain forever loved in our hearts. I am sure I speak for you also. I knew she was not immortal and a day I would have to write this note to you. Much Love in the sisterhood of Jesus Christ... Sue

May 17, 1994 - March 29, 2010 Hi Barbara, it is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my greatest friend Annie (our 13 yr old Brittany – soon to be 14 on May 17) She was a puppy of your Annie Get Your Gun and Chilcote’s Scout. I know that I don’t have to tell you this as you’ve probably heard it a million times, but she was the greatest pet and friend that I have ever had – Faithful til the end. She was such an amazing little dog and for that I wish to thank you for granting us the gift of raising her. She was originally spoken for but the buyers had changed their minds due to her non symmetrical markings on her face. She was truly a gift from heaven especially at a time when my husband and I could not conceive children. We now have an adopted daughter Charlotte who is seven (we had her since birth) and has grown up with this wonderful pet. As our family is grieving and reminiscing all of the wonderful and funny memories we had with Annie (she used to take full pancakes and hide them in our beds!!!) we know that at some point down the road we will no longer be able to bear this large hole in our hearts and the void that Annie has left in our hearts. I can see by your site that you are still breeding wonderful Brittanys – do you have any descendents of Annie or Scout still breeding? Please let me know and again my family thanks you for giving us one of the greatest friends that we ever had – we’ll miss her immensely. Take Care, |
May 1996 to November 2008 Our dear Ceilidh passed away after a sudden illness, leaving us heartbroken. She was a beautiful girl, full of life and love right up to the end. An integral part of our family, she was a real people dog, loving everyone. Ceilidh had wonderful people skills and she excelled at her work as a therapy dog. She was certified with both St. John's Ambulance and Therapeutic Paws of Canada. All her fans at the nursing home where we visited have been saddened by our loss. Ceilidh is buried in our back yard, marked by an Inuksuk which we built using stones which we collected from all her favourite Muskoka parks. May she be happy there. Susan and Doug McCulloch

Hi Barb: |
1/08/07 Tuukka has been battling transitional cell cancer for about 18 months and is sadly nearing the end - he still loves to eat and gets 4 small meals of homemade food each day - he had an ultrasound today that showed significant disease in his bladder and ureter as well as liver and i know the vet thinks its time we consider letting him go - however he's sleeping beside me on the couch as i type having enjoyed a 5 km (slow) walk in the woods and a big meal of all the favourites. he's living full time with us now (mom and dad come up for a few days each week) so we'll take it day by day. Hi Barbara, Kinsey has been surprisingly unperturbed and we just got back from a long run in the snow where she played with two other dogs - now she's asleep upside down (as always) on "her" armchair... Thanks again |

Hiddencreek's Shilo July 13, 1999 - Jan. 22, 2010 Sire: Ch Nutbutter Hiddencreeks Solomon FDJ He would of been 11 on this year. The cancer crept upon him very quickly. I took him to the vet on January 3rd because he was favouring one leg more that the other, but it wasn't like a limp. I was told me it was arthritis. He started to get worse so I took him back again on the 5th. I told them I wanted to see a different vet, he told me he had pulled the tendons in his knee and would need an operation. The leg was getting worse and I wasn't happy with either diagnosis. So my sister in law, who works for WWF, recommended a vet in Snelgrove and he was diagnosed with cancer of the spine on January 18th. I could believe how quickly it all seemed to happen. We brought him home so the kids could say their goodbyes but there were new lumps appearing on his body everyday and he was starting to get uncomfortable. We took turns at night sleeping with him to make sure he was comfortable. Then on January 22nd the vet came to the house and he was put to sleep. It was a very difficult decision, but I couldn't let him continue to suffer. |

Sire: Ch Hiddencreek's Dream Weaver FDJ (Balli) Hi Barbara,
December 26, 2009 Hi Barbara, Over the holidays our dog Babbit died- it was a car accident while we were opening Christmas presents at my parents farm and our hearts are completely broken. But it felt right to let you know that he's gone. We loved him- he was, to us, undeniably, the greatest dog ever! He was going to be 6 this year because he was my 30th birthday present and I turned 36 this year. Wasn't he cute!! I remember when we picked him up from you and you said we chose well. I picked him because he bite my shoe and got his tooth stuck and we were attached for a while because I he couldn't get his tooth out and Tak said he'd chosen us- he was super wild as a baby but mellowed out into this human hybrid of a dog- so civilized and soft inside the house but such a crazy hunter outside- that's how he died- he was chasing a squirrel we think and got hit by a car- but he didn't know what happened to him and went right away so maybe he was happy in his death! With love, Kathryn |

Hi Barbara, Here is a picture of our darling Malarkey, taken by my son Charlie last Sunday, the night before Malarkey went to heaven. Do you remember Malarkey? Blaze barfed the tailings of her ham bone onto my lap when she was pregnant with Malarkey, on your sofa in Flesherton. After 13 years of sneaking out the door, leaping the fence, happy squirrel chasing and attempts to swim to Rochester, we allowed Malarkey to succumb to kidney failure as a result of tcc on September 27th, leaving us broken hearted and bereft. She was an extraordinary dog - I'm sure you hear that all the time, about your dogs - everyone loved her, but especially us. So, the only cure for the silence around here is a puppy, do you have any litters planned? Thanks for her, Christina Connell

Hiddencreek's Cocoa Delight Aug 1997 - Feb 29, 2012 Sire: Ch Hiddencreek's Riley Dear Barbara, I thought that you would want to know that Cocoa (Delight) was sent to doggie heaven yesterday. She was 14 1/2 years old. She was diagnosed with kidney failure. She had a great life and we enjoyed her so much. Her final years were spent with Jim and I in retirement in Arizona where she swam in our pool almost every day. I don't think that she suffered. Although she stopped eating she would still drink water staying hydrated and lick a little peanut butter off a spoon. She was a trooper. I didn't want to wait for the worst so I had her euthanised yesterday. Thank you for giving us the wonderful gift of Cocoa in our life. ___________________________________________________________________

Barb, June 15, 2012 Hidden Creek’s Ish passed away last night. Ish’s dame was Blaze, sire Riley (Rock of Ages). She was suffering from severe respiratory distress and Janice and I made the decision. She had been going downhill for a while but in the end had an extremely bad day Thursday. Ish was a much loved member of our family for 14 ½ years. We picked her and her brother Pepi (my parents dog) up October 1997. Pepi passed away a few years ago. Ish was my most enthusiastic running partner for 12 years. We ran in the early mornings. After she started to ail and before she would admit it to herself she would wail loud enough to wake other people in the house when I left her home. I once left her in the yard and went for a run. The neighbor asked if the dog was alright. Attached are 2 pictures (about 2003), one of Ish, the other Ish (left) and Pepi. Thanks, David ___________________________________________________________________ |

Sire: Nutbutter Hiddencreeks Solomon Argus: August 10, 1998 - March 23, 2012 Argus joined our family in October 1998. He brought joy and laughter to our family from the moment that we saw that sweet little face of his. We were warned that the first three years would be a challenge and they sure were but then once he turned three it was as if the lightbulb went on. He didn't have to challenge us so much...he could just be. Friends actually thought that we had gotten a new dog because he had calmed down so much. Argus loved to fish, hunt, go camping (both wilderness and in our trailer), hike, chase squirrels and travel but most of all, at the end of each and every day he loved to snuggle in bed between his "Mommy" and "Daddy". He was a very healthy and happy dog until he developed a cancerous tumor on his leg. We had it removed in early February but the cancer just returned in a different area of the same leg six weeks later. We knew what we had to do. The decision was a very difficult one but we know that it was the right one to make. He is at peace and no longer in any pain. Until we meet again our beautiful little boy. You are forever in our hearts. Bonnie and Barry Anderson ___________________________________________________________________

She had been deteriorating slowly from the brain tumour however over the last couple of weeks it had been more rapid and we felt it was time to let her rest. We miss her so very much, she brought such joy to our lives and we will be ever grateful to have been her human parents for almost 14 years. She was simply the best dog ever. We thank you for all the care you gave her when we needed to board her with you, we always knew she was safe up there in her first home. Regards to you and Larry and thanks again. Christine and Jon. ____________________________________________________________

Sire: CH Hiddencreek's Dream Weaver FDJ Here is a picture of our beloved Blaze taken in 2010, when he was about eight. He enjoyed being outdoors and especially loved to swim in the pond and run and sniff through the fields and forest. He was very intelligent and knew quite a few words, his favourites being “go for a walk”, “food”, and “treat”. He was well known in the neighbourhood, and was always friendly and happy to great people and most dogs when we walked through the subdivision. He was our first dog, and loved him to bits, and he returned our love tenfold. He was affectionate and sweet and we are very grateful to have had him in our lives. He was born on June 24, 2002 to Faith. His father was Baili (Dream Weaver). We lost him on January 23, 2013.

Jabell's Hidden Creek Jessie FW407221 Sire: CH CHILCOTE'S HIDDEN CREEK SCOUT Dam: JABELL J M AMAZING Hi Barbara, On January 2nd, 1997, we left Hidden Creek Kennels with a little bundle of fluff that we called Jessie and took her to Ottawa. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to her on October 2nd, 2012 - a few days shy of her 16th birthday! She was from the very start an integral part of our family and gave us nothing but joy and pleasure for all those years. Her temperament was the best of any dog that I have known - she was an absolute treasure to us and was adored by many friends who often said "when we get a dog, we'll get a Jessie dog". Saying goodbye was so hard but the attached poem helped. She has left such a huge hole, it will take us time. We'd like to thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to have such a wonderful, adorable companion - there will never be another the same! John & Brenda Watts Sharbot Lake, ON. |

Ch Everlasting Faith DeKiskissink FD March 8, 2000 - May 31, 2014 Sire: Pepper's Pete By RH (USA) Hello Barbara I am very sorry to tell you that I had Faith put down last night. It was so hard, she was a beautiful dog and such a joy. She was suffering with dementia, and these last couple of months have been really hard. She was penned in the kitchen and still would cry when she got into a corner. The blessing was that she didn`t recognise the vet office and so was not frightened. We still went for long leash walks and she didn`t have any pain. Last night we walked along the lake on our way to the vet. It was a lovely evening and she was in and out of the water a couple of times. She was happy. Thanks for letting Faith into our lives. We are better for it. Lots of love C. ___________________________________________________________________

Hiddencreek's Stewart Pierce March 29, 2000 - July 3, 2015 Sire: Ch Nutbutter Hiddencreek Solomon FDJ Hi there, At the time I received my precious puppy I was only 12 years old and so excited when my parents took my sisters and I to pick up our puppy. I remember researching the breed and looking a breeders and coming to visit you. Anxiously waiting for the day we could pick up our puppy. That was over 15 years ago and on July 3rd I had to say goodbye to my sweet boy. He was with me through it all. Moving into my own house to getting married to my husband in June. Recently I went and looked you up to see if you were still in business and happy to see that you were. I felt compelled to contact you because you gave me the best dog I could have asked for. Stewart was born on March 29th 2000, son of Solomon and Blaze. He had an amazing personality and was my constant companion. I unfortunately have a lot of health problems and he was by my side every day making me feel loved and always brightening my day. It is hard now that he is gone but I will cherish all the time I had with him. So I guess I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for giving me an amazing best friend for over half my life. One I will never forget. I attached a few photos for you, mostly from his last few years and one taken on my wedding day. Going through your website memory page I couldn't believe the resemblance. They are beautiful dogs, on the inside and out. I'm not sure I will ever get another Brittany but if I do I will be sure to look you up. ![]() ___________________________________________________________________ | ![]()

June 1999 - Aug 15 2015 Sire: Ch Nutbutter Hiddencreek Solomon Dam: Ch Hiddencreek's Queen Ester Barbara Today we put Smudge to sleep. Chocolate Raspberry Smudge was very, very special. She was 16 years and two months old. I have so many wonderful memories of her. She gave us so much joy and her wonderful personality still is here. She loved the lake, chasing squirrels, car rides, walks and bike rides, and mostly pleasing her family. When we brought our son home from the hospital for the first time she became a mother to Monique and Roger-Christopher and never stopped being a duchess. You have raised wonderful dogs ! Best regards Roger Larson _________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
Sire: Ch Nutbutter Hiddencreek Solomon FDJ Hi Barbara - I had meant to write much much earlier but not only our little Opal was old and ailing. The person who you dealt with back over 1997 and 1998, my partner Bruce Laforce, was struggling not very happily with Alzheimer's. About the same time Opal died, he had to go into a home which he fought and then after many health emergencies he too died last October. But now I want to have something up on your memorial board about Opal who was an extraordinary dog -- just like everybody else's dog, I know. .... You thought we were silly to ask about personality but Opal had personality in bucketfuls. She was also unusually beautiful. The kind of dog who caused passers-by to remark on her looks. Opal really was a queen. A dreadful little puppy for nibbling at feet but while we got her to stop the worst of her wayward ways, she never really was into obedience. She always asked why, when given a command, and then considered whether there would be sufficient reward to make it worth her while. Yet she was always good-natured and loving, and she did listen when it counted. Oddly for a Brittany she was a little bit of a couch potato, even when out of doors. If we were going to just stand around, she'd sit. If it looked like we'd be sitting down for a while, she'd lie down. But if there was a chance for a long walk in the woods with all its smells, or a chase of the local rabbits, she was on for it. She died on a beautiful summer's morning. She had been failing for a few months but there was nothing wrong with her except extreme old age. We sat under a tree in the yard waiting for the vet and I thought about the wonderful 15 years we had had together. It is heart-breaking to lose such a loving spirit but we would have lost so much more without her in our lives.

Sire: Ch Hiddencreek's Dream Weaver FDJ Hi Barbara I am writing this to you with a broken heart to let you know that Blaze is no longer with us he was diagnosed with bladder Cancer back in the summer. If it was possible to die of a broken heart I would have died with him yesterday. He brought us such joy over these past 13 years....and we would take him for long walks in the woods. Blaze came before all the grandchildren but they all loved him. My husband broke every rule I the book when it came to Blaze. I remember the day we picked him up we were waiting game in the truck as we had arrived a little early so we prayed Lord help us pick a puppy we have no idea how to choose. Barbara you came out with a lady to get the dog food and told us to go in. You said all the puppies had played for the last hour and we're now sleeping. We went in and there were two puppies...orange and white and liver and white. Well the darker one paid no attention but the orange and white followed Dalton around the pen area...Blaze inside would come up to the fence and lay down for a belly rub...and if Daltons moved he would follow him. You came in and asked do we want the other puppies woken and I said no this one has chosen my husband. I always called Blaze and my husband Litter mates and I was the Alpha leader. I would appoligize In advance to our company at the table and say it is not Blaze's fault that he begs, Blame Dalton. Although I put my foot down to feeding him anything starchy. As well we kept a good eye on his weight as I have always said it is so unfair for Blaze to carry any extra weight on his slender legs. Dogs do not get fat on their own. Sorry I am now rambling, Thank you so much....we have still the grieving process to deal with....so not even thinking of another dog at this time. I thought you would like to know about Blaze I found it very difficult to type this. Enclosed a picture of Blaze taken a few days ago....He was allowed I the beds and the other couch but right I front of me he jumped up on the white couch...This made me laugh as I could almost hear him tell me...I have earned the right to get up there once if it is the last thing I do....bless his heart I had to take the picture. I have many many pictures but still I do not feel like I have enough pictures and videos. If we are ever up your way , might just drop in to say hi. Blessings Dalton and Mila __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I?m regretfully writing you to let you know about the passing of my wonderful companion of 14 years, Suvi. Suvi was out of Molly by Scout and was born 28 August 2001. When I adopted her we lived in Churchill, Manitoba and then to Winnipeg. For the past 10 years we called Calgary home and went to big, beautiful off-leash parks every day so Suv could run and play. My sister had a basset x Lab named Biscuit that was Suvi?s companion for the past 8 years. She was such a super dog, smart? kind? easily trained. She was in super health right until the end . She developed a laryngeal paralysis and cancer and we had to make the difficult decision in early summer. I can?t thank you enough for allowing me to have such a wonderful friend and family member. To me, she was perfect. ![]() ____________________________________________________________________________________

Hi Barbara,
It's been a long time since we have chatted. I hope you are doing well.
I'm writing to pass on some sad news. We had to put our beautiful Jazz
down because of a cancerous tumor on her spleen. She was an incredible
trooper up until the last couple of days always wagging her tail and
never
turning down treats. All of us were with Jazz loving her until she
passed.
Thank you for giving us such a beautiful girl that brought us years and
years of fun and unconditional love. She was my beautiful girl and she
will be missed very much especially by Hunter. He is still going
strong,
Hi Barbara,
It is with a heavy heart that we send word of Sammy's passing on Friday October
21, 2016.
Born to Solomon and Faith on January 16, 2003 he has been a joy to us, our
family and friends.
We are so grateful to you for the care you gave him when he stayed in your
kennel. Sammy loved to go there until the last couple of years of his life.
Thank you for your amazing dogs, Sammy was so patient and kind with children
and babies even 'The Cat' Hector. We feel we have been very blessed with having
him in our lives, his love, his antics, energy and great joy every day.
I've attached a few photos, I hope you enjoy them.

We are so sad to let you know that we had to put Robbie down last April 20th.
His kidney disease finally caught up with him. I am crying as I
type this but I am wondering if you are expecting any puppies anytime
soon or in the next year. He was the
greatest dog ever and I would only have another Brittany from where he
was from. We all loved him so much and he had so many that loved him. He loved to go on camping and canoeing trips.

Hi Barbara,
Just wanted to let you know Taffy past away October 13th. She was 15
1/2. She was an excellent dog, very easy to train and a happy, quiet
dog. The picture of her on the boat, one of her favourite spots, was
taken September 25, 2017. The other two picture are of her telling her
little sister, Fou Fou she is supposed to eat the green stuff and
waiting to go to the doggie spa with little brother, Payton(7).
Taffy was excellent with other animals and children of all ages. Even
in the last few months, she would just get up and walk away from a baby
crawling to her.
Taffy didn’t have any major health issues other than to have a fat
deposit removed as it was going to interfere with her bowls. I can send
you a copy of the vet report if you would like me to. Her hearing was
pretty much gone. Her sight was slowly fading but her nose worked very
well right to the end. She had a few seizures over the last year or
two. It slowed her down a bit but nothing major. On the 13th she had a
major one that lasted about five minutes. Once it was over she had a
hard time getting up and when she did, her balance was off, she walked
on her right wrist and slightly dragged her right hind leg. We decided
it was time. At the vets, she was walking better but she was walking
around aimlessly and she wasn’t able to get out of corners. We knew the
decision was right. Our sons, 23 and 26 came to say goodbye and as my
oldest fed her liver treats, she fell asleep peacefully, vet assisted.
We figured you would would like to know.
She will be greatly miss,
Angela Bottrell
