It is with great sadness that we mourn one of our Russell friends.  Melissa passed away recently just hours after giving birth to her baby girl, Devon Melissa.  Melissa thrived on competition and loved the thrill of all the sports she competed in throughout her life. She was an accomplished hunter rider for many years but a proudest moment for her was achieving her ADCh with her beloved JRT Montee in November 2007. Montee was her first agility dog and both Melissa & Montee were passionate about the game and always gave it their all!

For those wishing, condolences may be sent to:
