Cinnamon
CGC Cinnamon L1I, NW2, NW3-E, NW3-V, NW3-C
02/05/2008 – 06/10/2016
Cinnamon was a sweetheart Border Collie/Australian Shepherd Mix. We most loved doing nose work together, but she also had a blast with sheep herding, agility, rally, and just chasing a ball for as long as we would throw it. She died much too young from a neurological disease: Cerebellar Abiotrophy. She was our first dog together, and we could never thank her enough for all that she taught us and the places she took us.
Without you, we would never have gotten here.
