oth Kay and her late husband
Larry Hardy had been long term
breeders of cockers. In their later
years, both Kay and Larry became
popular AKC judges as well.
In 2007, Kay and husband Larry were honored by
the American Spaniel Club, being inducted into its
Hall of Fame. It was a well deserved honor following many years of contributions to our breed.

Kay continued to follow cocker news right up to
the end of her life. Over the past 10 years, osteoporosis consumed her body, causing it to be greatly
hunched over, but she still made it to the New
England Breeders Xmas party each year, and an
occasional dog show now and then. Her mind
remained razor sharp. She drew the logo Hob Nob
Hill Cockers - showing her artistic ability to great
advantage. I happily have a signed and framed, limited edition drawing Michael Allen did of
