Glory’s Accomplishments
HRCH U-CH Sand Spring No Gut’s No Glory SH THD CGCA CGCU TT SPOT-ON
4/19/24 Glory passed away. Here is her and her legacy’s list of accomplishments.
Glory – oh glorious one where to begin. You left such a legacy behind. Thank you for being a big part of Sand Spring Chesapeakes, you will be deeply missed but your children live on and have been successful in any venue they take on. Born on 12/4/11, Nellie (HRCH Sand Spring Hurricane Nellie SH) our foundation bitch was bred to Lefty (CH Port’s Side Great Xpectations MH). This was Nellie’s last litter so we knew we would be keeping a female to keep the lines going. Out of a litter of 4 girls red collar was the one staying. Her name became Sand Spring No Gut’s No Glory. She was all Glory for 12.5 years when she succumbed to a splenic tumor on 4/19/24. When Glory was done raising puppies she became the Matriarch of Sand Spring. She raised her puppies with care and then she went on to raise her daughter’s puppies with the same care and love. She was the one we could trust with anyone, anything and any other dog. She just rolled with the punches, never missing a beat. She was an avid hunter having traveled to Saskatchewan many times as well as hunted upland and waterfowl in WI, therapy dog team where she went on to have 69 visits in various school settings and nursing homes, performance and conformation participant. She was titled in many events UKC and AKC, she was ranked twice in the UKC Top Ten and invited to their invitational at Premier as well as she was ranked 3rd in the UKC Current Top Producing Chesapeake’s, with offspring that have earned 4 titles. One of Glory’s puppies went overseas to England to spread the Sand Spring line. They say when you breed you should breed for the betterment of the breed, and I believe I did that with her children surpassing her in titles and becoming the first Chesapeake’s to accomplish some prestigious titles. She left this earth with her name being HRCH U-CH Sand Spring No Gut’s No Glory SH THD CGCA CGCU TT SPOT-ON. Fly high Glorious one till we meet again you will always be in our hearts and on our minds. Thank you for giving us so much love and joy. B/O/T/H by John & JoAnn Stancer, Cambria WI.
