Titan was named after the Cessna Titan airplane, because I took a private plane ride to pick him up. His litter theme was colors and green is my favorite color. Titan was smart, silly and loved to play and work, if he understood what I was asking he'd do anything for me. Titan was 28" tall & 144 pounds.

I was there when Titan was born into the world and there holding his paw when he left it. I sweeter dog I could not have had. I know that after nearly 11 years, there won't be a day that I won't miss him. Of my boys he is the only one that gave kisses. He had some memorable accomplishments; Awards of Merit at 2 National Specialities and Westminster; winning the White Memorial Trophy at the 2008 National, a VGS, a ROM (I had the pleasure of showing 6 of his offspring). I was reminded by my husband that Titan attended more scientific meetings than some scientists. He hiked with me all over the eastern half of the US. Titan jogged literally thousands of miles with my husband and I. Lack of mobility is what got him in the end, but he had a long life, out-living all of his contemporaries, both parents and all his siblings, you really can’t ask for anything more.
