It is with great sorrow that we must announce the passing of our beloved Norfolk Terrier, Maggie.

Maggie was our faithful companion and NaturesPet.Com's logo dog since 1997 and her passing at just age 10 was too sudden and far too soon!

For those of you who were not aware, Maggie suffered from a congenital heart condition which she bravely battled until June 30th when she peacefully crossed over the rainbow bridge.

Our dog, Maggie, a female Norfolk Terrier has been NaturesPet.Com's Corporate Logo Dog since 1997. She is shown here at 18 months old. Maggie (Regency's Celestial Being) was bred by Tina Dennis of Regency Norfolk of Mc Allen, TX.

Maggie was sired by Champion Max-Wells Will Be Good, the 1992 & 1993 number one ranked dog, all breeds, in the US. Her mother is Champion Regency's Angel of Abbedale. In addition to her famous sire Willy, Maggie has a total of six National Speciality and Westminster K.C. winning dogs in her breeding line including her grandfather Champion Max-Wells Weatherman shown below. Maggie made her AKC show debute In August, 1999.

Maggie's show career was short lived. She much prefers to play, chase squirrels and be NaturesPet's test dog rather than being in the show ring! Here she is at the Sand & Sea AKC show in Toms River, NJ where she won Best of Breed and was shown in the Terrier Group Final. Maggie is being shown here by John Zambelli, NaturesPet.Com's founder.

Here's Maggie in her final show before retiring at The American Norfolk Terrier Association's Fall Festival, October 2000. Maggie won First Place in her group at this show.

Maggie's Father is Champion Max-Well's Will B Good better know as Willy. Willy was the number one ranked dog, all breeds in the United States in 1992 and 1993 and has won Best of Breed at Westminster as well as numerous National Specialty Championships.

Maggie's Grandfather is Champion Max-Well's Weatherman better known as "Storm". Storm is one of the superstars of the show world. He was the number one dog all breeds in 1996, Willy has two Group Placements and Best of Breed wins at the Westminster Dog Show and has over 23 Best of Breed Awards including 6 National Specialty Championships. Storm Ranks as one of the all time winning Norfolk's of the breed.
