Owned & loved by Shannon & Krystyl Lyons
We let Scarlet go shortly after loosing Rupert, her appetite
had been diminished and her weight had been going down hill,
we did not want to let her get to the point where she wasn't
enjoying life anymore.
Scarlet's favorite thing was to lounge in front of the
fireplace in the winter. Her presence remains here at
Shannon Down through her granddaughter Margaery.

We let him go to the Rainbow Bridge on January 6, 2017 after
he had thrown a blood clot in his leg, paralyzing the leg.
He spent his last few days being loved on and catered to,
but his foot started to deteriorate with no blood supply and
we let him go peacefully on a Friday morning.

Syrio was a wonderful boy and had such fun racing.
Sadly, he passed away before he turned 3 years old. Donna
was out of town and the pet sitter called to tell her he had
passed away. He had probably been bitten by a snake.

Murphy was a wonderful dog who really made us fall in
love with racing and race bred Whippets. He was our
'old man' in the Shannon Down household and never had a sick
day in his life that we can remember. He was still in great
physical shape when we let him go but his mind was failing
him, we made the hard decision to let him pass before his
mind was to far gone. The house is not the same without our
'Old Muffin'.

Tatsu developed Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy,

far to soon, we can at least know that he is again with his
brother Shinju at the bridge. He is greatly missed by

Brooks was an amazing dog in the show ring, on the
track and especially at home. He is the first dog that
Krystyl finished a Championship on all by herself, he helped
her win Best Junior Handler at one of our National
Specialties and he loved to race. At home he was a
sweetheart, he loved to chase frisbees and balls and would
keep bringing them back even when he was so tired he could
only trot after them. He made it to his 10th birthday
and then started to get sick. We believe, after
running tests, that he had liver cancer and it had already
progressed to far to treat. We let him go on July
30th, 2012, a day that will always be sad in our memories.
Chase those frisbees Brooks, and we hope you are running on
sandy race tracks again.

Daisy was our first black and white Whippet, and when Kevin
moved in with Anita he obviously needed another Whippet
companion so we let Daisy go to stay with him and Anita.
Daisy was the most devoted mother and just an incredibly
behaved girl, having never done a single thing wrong since
we got her at 10 weeks old. Sadly it was discovered
that Daisy had a hemangiosarcoma on her heart when it
ruptured. We got to spend a few days with Daisy
ourselves and then she spent her last day being pampered and
loved on by Anita and was euthanized comfortably in her
home. She will be greatly missed by many people, and
she has left a hole in all our hearts.

Kevin was bred by Kiesha Cramwer & loved very much by us,
after he finished competing in the show ring, on the
coursing field and at the races, he retired to his wonderful
home with Anita. He was euthanized on Halloween when
he took a turn for the worse, due to kidney failure.
Anita gave him a wonderful life and
we couldn't have asked for any more than that. He was
pampered and loved more than any dog could be. We will
always remember him and how he introduced us into the world
of Whippets.

She had a zest for life and even through being sick, she was
