Yesterday the great Ch. Carpenny Walpole passed away. Our heart is now with Penny Carpanini. Walpole has been one of the most influential Labs in Europe in the last decade. He was a succesful combination of English and American bloodlines and his legacy will continue through his offspring.
I'm sure he has a privilege place in the Hall of Fame of our beloved breed.
Sad day indeed... What a beautiful boy he was, and he has certainly been beneficial to many of our lines. I feel privileged to have some of his beautiful legacy here to carry on. God Speed Walpole...
Oh, what a sad day for Penny! I am so sorry to hear of Walpole's passing. I met Walpole as a puppy, and was privileged to present him to the judge for critique at the LRC Club show in 1996 after winning his class with Penny. He went on to win Best Puppy that day, one of many, many wins. He made his mark over and over on the Labrador world. He will be remembered by many.
