Why browse by breed
Grief has a shape that follows the animal. Losing a fourteen-year-old cat is not the same experience as losing a great dane at seven, and people who have lost the same breed tend to recognise each other quickly: the illnesses that come with it, the habits nobody else believes, the size of the gap left behind.
These pages gather the memorials for one breed in one place. They are worth reading if you have just lost one yourself, and they are worth reading before you lose one, because the memorials for short-lived breeds are honest about a timescale that owners are rarely told about clearly.
A memorial can list more than one breed, and mixed-breed companions are listed under every breed they belong to. Nothing here requires papers or a pedigree: what a family says their dog was is what the memorial says.
Questions about breeds
- My pet was a mix. Which breed do I choose?
- Choose all the ones that apply. The memorial then appears under each of them, which is usually how the people looking for a similar dog or cat will find it.
- The breed I need is not listed.
- Breeds are added as memorials are created. Get in touch and we will add it; nothing about the memorial has to wait in the meantime.
- Why does a breed have no memorials?
- A breed page appears once at least one memorial belongs to it, so an empty one simply means nobody has created that memorial here yet. It could be yours.
