Rebecca S. Brandon

Wow. I moved out of Alaska a long time ago but I´ve never forgotten Becky Brandon and what she taught me about dogs over the years. Today I was just looking for Rebecca´s info to give to my granddaughter who lives in Alaska and recently became the proud owner of a German Shepherd puppy. I´m so sorry to hear this. It seems like yesterday when in 1986 I showed up to my first handling class at the Armory. Me, a 6 month old, my 7 year old, and my brand new Rottweiler. The look on her face was...

I haven't seen Rebecca in years but she was my handling instructor as a newbie in the dog show world a great lady!

I met Becky at Walter Reed when I was stationed at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, Division of Veterinary Medicine. I showed dogs with her and helped her if she had a conflict showing 2 dogs at the same time. Becky gave us our first Japanese Chin as a puppy and "Louie" became Ch.Yellocro Chosun one. "Chosun" was Becky's kennel name for her Chins. Becky was also my anesthetist at Walter Reed in 1975 when my leg was injured and had to be repaired. During the surgery we discussed a name...

One tough lady...form follows function. Thank you for the knowledge you shared.

It's a special feeling to know someone for such a short period of time, but the impact on my life will last my lifetime. Thank you Rebecca you are apart of my concious now.

Sympathies to the family. Becky was a strong woman and a professional collegue.

Rebecca, I can't thank you enough for all the knowledge you shared to so freely. Being it at classes or helping in selecting a new puppy. It has been a privilege. Whatever journey there is after this world, you deserve a good one. You were always uncompromisingly true to yourself.

Sad, very sad news! Rebecca was my neighbor since 1983 and she'll be missed dearly. I always enjoyed sharing my sockeye salmon fillets with her and her smiling face when she received them was more rewarding then catching the fish. I'll also miss the conversations around the neighborhood mail boxes, especially after we had a Chinook wind storm blow through ... at the same time she ALWAYS asked about how my children were doing. She watched them grow and play in the neighborhood for many...
