Affaire's Adventurous Gypsy, "Roma"
| Sire: Ch Bayside's Another Day in Paradise | Dam: Ch Affaire's Taken by Storm v Blanton |

Roma started her show career placing 4th in a large 3-5 month puppy bitch class at the Great Dane Club of America Futurity. I believe she had
a very promising show career and would have made a tremendous brood bitch had she lived. Roma was diagnosed with a spinal nephroblastoma when
she was just over 2 years old. Everything possible was done to save her, but her light was too bright to stay here with us. The chronological events of the onset
and treatment of this disease are documented on a separate page.
RIP beautiful girl. I don't know if the hole left in my heart will ever heal.
