Hillview's Ready To Smoke (OD)
February 14 1992 - September 1996
- Ready was euthenized due to mammary tumors with metastasis into the
lung cavity. She was weaning her last litter at the time by FC
AFTCH FTCH Cedarpond Brasdor Skywalker. Unfortunately, we did not notice
these tumors during pregnancy or nursing as apparently this form of cancer
is curable if caught in the early stages.
- Anyone with related dogs that is worried about the inheritance factor
can request a copy of the pathology report from us. According to the Veterinary
Pathologist, it was a malignant fibrous histiocytoma. He felt it was an
unusually interesting case. Unfortunately, it was too far progressed to
save Ready.

- Ready, I think, will be one of Topbrass Retrievers great producers
along with Torch, Gypsy, and Ziggy. Offspring from her breeding to Zeke
are already proving themselves in the field, as are her Wraith's Duncan
MH*** offspring.
- We bred her daughter, Topbrass Ready, Zeke, Find
to the BIS Winner: CH Celestial Surius Jake CDX WCX in 97 and to Ritchie
Toronto Bust*** in 98. Another daughter Topbrass Nanosecond
*** will probably be bred sometime in 1998.
- Ready's pups by Wraith's Duncan*** include Topbrass
Ascending Elijah***, Topbrass Fuzzbuster **, and Topbrass General Sherman
**. All these pups were successful in the Derby.
