Hacker, Mark and

Smith, Lora

We both worked at the same company in Denver and in 1993 were "downsized". Mark accepted a position with another company and we moved to Arkansas for three years, then transferred to California for two and are now home again!

Mark is a senior manager for a large American retailer and specializes in organizational development, leadership and human resources. His territory consists of eleven states in the Western U.S., from Texas to Hawaii. He travels every other week and misses the dogs on each and every trip.

Lora is a little more shy however says she loves her flatcoats!

We both have always had dogs and were lucky enough to get Racer in California and Cheers is also a California dog. They both love the snow, walks in our parks (a big one with dog training area is 10 minutes away), sleeping and just being their funny flat coated selves!

Cheers is very lovable and sweet. She grew up in California and was shown at a young age. She finished her championship at 18 months and still prances and floats like a ballerina. She never came into season so we adopted her at age 5 after we had Racer for about nine months. She loves long walks, cuddling and being with us.

Championship in May 1995

Racer is a funny boy and a loyal companion. His breeders say he is the goofiest flat coat they have ever seen. He is very sweet and affectionate, yet lives for playing with the ball and having fun. He is also very curious and learns quickly. He is a special boy and we love him very much.

His only award is #1 Flatcoat in our hearts, a true pet dog and proud of it. His sister got all the fancy awards!
