I have just read on another board that Dianne Gunn-Scarcella passed away suddenly from a stroke on 21st March.
Dianne was a long time member of this board, and was a great mentor to many "newbies" over the years.
Dianne bred and showed her dogs under the Wiesenland prefix, while her husband, Tony, had the Gipfel prefix.
They both had a lot of success in the All Breeds ring in Australia, and many may recall Dianne proudly showing pics of her beautiful sables <and the black & golds too>.
Our deepest sympathy goes to Tony and family on their loss.

I just read that too, Anita. I'm saddened to hear the news of her passing. I always looked forward to hearing how her dogs were doing in the showring. She had some truly beautiful dogs and she seemed like a very nice person.

She will be missed. My condolences to her family.

I too just read this on the other board. I only knew her via the boards but I will always remember her gorgeous dogs and her every helpful posts for newbies with questions. I dont recall ever reading a negative comment from her about anyone.

RIP Dianne.

Oh my goodness! This is such a shock I used to chat to Dianne frequently, although we lost touch in recent years. I've always thought she had the most beautiful GSDs.
She really was a wonderful person and will be missed by many.

RIP Dianne

Thank you for posting this. I don't have time to visit other boards. RIP Dianne. I am sure you were welcomed by all your great dog who went before you.

Send my best wishes out to Tony because I know he is feeling lost right now with our Di.
