Ranch Raised with Champion Show and Working Lines. Great with cattle, horses, sheep and kids

Gus turns two this coming Tuesday... I thought his birthday was in February but I was wrong. Anyway, at present he's in Arizona with his owner undergoing some additional training.

He just finished a course on rattlesnake detection and avoidance. He is starting a course right now to learn underwater cadaver detection. (Drowning victims etc.) She says he doesn't swim well, but loves riding in boats... so they are trying him at that.

In April, there is the annual SARDOC (Search and Rescue Dogs of Colorado) meet, where they have competition and he will probably get certified for rescue missions. She says she believes he will out shine a lot of dogs at that meet.

So far he has learned trail search for missing people, avalanche rescue and now cadaver search. Sounds quite talented to me. I'm proud of him.

Wanted to send an update of Bella and a couple pictures to show you how she is progressing. We have been taking her running with us in the morning and she is really turning into a great jogging dog. It is amazing how smart she is. She picks up on things so quickly. We couldn't ask for a better dog. She will be 8 months old this month, so we still have to wait a few months to start her in agility. Still have to let those puppy bones grow, but she is showing a lot of promise in the way that she moves and is jumping. I guess she is going to take after her father in that regard. She isn't our baby Bella anymore, but she is really turning into an incredible dog.

It can be difficult to find a dog with a great temperment and intellegence and Bella has both. We are completely satisified with the purchase. She really has made a wonderful family dog and since she is now over a year old, we can start doing agility with her. There is a facility right down the street from us that just remodeled and has this huge agility yard. I think that Bella would excel at it and absolutely would love it. I will keep you updated on that and hopefully get some great pictures of her.

"He's such a great dog, we are so blessed to have him in our family!!"

This is Sadie. She was born in February of 2007 and is out of Kira and Pepper, She's turned out to be a sweetheart and so full of energy. She loves running, playing w/ her sister abi (a maltese yorkie mix) and she can't go a day w/ out playing frisbee. She's just a princess and draws a croud.

"Hot Shot - 1 Year Old"

HotShot is the addition to our family that I have been searching for for years! He loves to play ball and go for runs. I take him with me to work, and he loves meeting people. Hot Shot is always the center of attention. His gorgeous blue merle coat, his friendliness, his energy, you name it, he is perfect. Thank you, Amanda, for a wonderful family member! "He loves to play with our Rottweiler.  We are going to start teaching him agility!   Thanks for all the calls and emails, they were so worth it!
