It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the unexpected passing of "Splash" Wakemup Run'n in the River CDX AX OAJ, owned by Vicki Schmidt. In their short time together, Vicki and Splash were a wonderful team that enjoyed each other immensely. An accomplished team, a wonderful trainer, and a wonderful, silly dog. Our heart goes out to Vicki at this tragic loss. |

Splash collapsed suddenly while chasing a bumper and playing with his mom. He never revived and is not believed to have suffered. We should all enjoy life as much as Splash did. |
