very very sad news blackie passed away last night at about 2 oclock with jane and joe at his side he was 16 years old
the sport has lost one of its greats but fortunately Blackies legacy lives on through his progeny

im sure none of us who ever witnessed a blackie blind will ever forget the astonishingly high standard that joe and blackie were able to achieve particularly on water blinds
Blackie was simply the best line runner i ever saw and his amazing record bears testimony to his greatness.Joe and jane are close friends of mine and i feel for them it is never easy to lose a champion who was also a wonderful pet with a great personality
