Aiken was born on December 6, 2019. He was gotcha’d by his family on February 1, 2020. He passed away on January 26, 2025.
Aiken, also known as “Aiken Bacon,” loved his Kong with peanut butter or a bumper. They were his most favorite things to play with. His favorite activities were a dove hunt or duck hunt with his dad. His favorite place to sleep was snuggled up with Bexley. His favorite food was peanut butter.
Their favorite memory of him were all of the times he wanted to ride in the truck.
Left to cherish his memory are his parents, Brice and Megan Keys; fur-siblings, Bexley and Champ.

I’m so sorry.
I’m so sorry.
Brice,
As you know Aiken had a mind of his own. During training, there were times he would nail it and there were times he was doing his own thing. I will remember him going straight to the mark looking at it, peeing on it and then sitting down looking like “I’m done”.
In the field though he was nothing but a champ. I was fortunate enough to hunt with him multiple times and each time he was awesome. You did all the training yourself and you should be proud. He was a great hunting partner and I will always remember our hunts together, the ducks he retrieved for me and the times we trained together.
My heart goes out to you, Brice, as you mourn the loss of your hunting buddy, and my sister, as you mourn the loss of your lap buddy. I love you both and I will miss Aiken. I know Leo will too.
Love and hugs to you and Brice. Aiken was blessed to be loved so much by both of you.
We will miss seeing Aiken! So sorry about your loss Brice and Megan. May you cherish all the memories you have.
