Lori and her husband, Ron Swisher, are owned by their Airedale, Reese.  Reese was three on May 25.  Reese and Lori have been enjoying agility classes for the past year.  Reese is also a certified therapy dog.  Lori and Reese visit an assisted living facility with an Alzheimer’s unit, with her Airedale buddies, Arlo and Dana, and a Golden Retriever named Jacob. 

Sadly, in 2008, just four months after our 9-yr-old Airedale, Forge, attained his Master Hunter Versatile title at the Airedale National Hunt Tests, he succumbed to splenic hemangiosarcoma.  Ron misses him terribly, as does Lori.  Forge made many Airedalers very proud of their breed in the field and water.
