Ch. Nanjay's J. T. Targa - "Targa"
Breeder: Nanci J. Footitt
Owner: Nanci J. Footitt
Targa (like her mother, Courtney) was a very influential part of the Nanjay bloodlines. She easily earned her Canadian Championship and then returned to her favourite spot, the couch! Targa was bred to two different males, and produced puppies who all boasted the same magnificent temperament as their mom. She was the dam of eight Canadian Champions.
Fragile Circle
We who choose to surround ourselves with
lives even more temporary than our own,
live within a fragile circle,
easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps,
we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory
as the only certain immortality,
never fully understanding
the necessary plan.
-- Irving Townsend
