Aksel and Paula had a relationship beyond compare and I could not be prouder of what the two accomplished. Together they ventured into the world of dog sports, with no previous experience, and no hesitation, and accomplished amazing things together. With a couple of classes under their belt, they walked away with a 5 point major at their first (regional specialty) show! They easily finished his championship and then continued on to his grand championship. His sound temperament and their bonded relationship shined through in the working events they tackled. His working titles include: Beginner Novice Obedience, Advanced Rally, a leg towards his CD, Novice Scent Work, Advanced Canine Good Citizen, Novice Trick Dog, and Temperament Test.

I was lucky to have the opportunity to show Dexter to his championship, easily finishing him in the Bred-By class. Along the way he also achieved a Bred-By Exhibitor Group 1. Dexter is a rock solid dog, including his temperament. Sadly, likely due to his trusting and people loving nature, he disappeared, likely picked up, within moments of an emergency stop on a rural road October 2019. Although extensive searching was done, there was no trace or sightings of this big red gorgeous dog. His friends and family still hold hope he will find his way home.

Jace caught my heart strings from the beginning but another male was not going to fit in our home at the time. The home that he was going to had a an unexpected life event occur and realized a new puppy was also not good timing. Lucky for me, a good friend expressed her interest in a boy and was the perfect fit for Jace. I got to play with him in the showring, finishing his championship, but his heart belonged to my friend's husband. Sadly, her husband passed, leaving not only her, but Jace, heartbroken. It was decided it would be best for Jace to go live with a family with children to help him over the loss. This family just so happened to be the original family that had to pass on taking him at 8 weeks! Jace had gone a full circle of friends and families. In his new home, Jace also has a new job. He goes to work once a week assisting his owner at a school for young adults with Downs Syndrome. This has earned him his AKC Therapy Dog title.

Potter's family (Escalade Bullmastiffs) exudes pride and love everytime they speak of him. He has shown himself to be an amazing ambassador for the breed. The public gravitates towards him and he reciprocates the attention. He was shown to his grand champion then got his Advanced Rally title. His most important job in life though is the constant companion and service dog for his girl.

Rogue is pointed in conformation but hates it, so she's moving on to other things. She has been training in agility and loves chasing Mr. Baggie on lure course practice runs. She is very bright and fun to train with, as well as extremely athletic. So far, she has achieved her Rally Advanced and Trick Dog Novice titles in AKC and Performance Dog Level I in USDAA agility.

When bred to GCh NV's More Than A Crush, she produced a litter of 14 beautiful healthy puppies.

Rogue went out on loan to a good friend as support. The partnership worked out better than expected, so we made it permanent.

As his name implies, Zeppelin lives in California with his two people and Am. Staff. "brother." He was shown to his championship and now leads the life of a pampered pet. Zeppelin has passed his health clearances including hips, elbows and heart.

Zeppelin sired a beautiful litter of 7 with Ilani (BISS GCh Showdown's Odds on Favorite For Kilroy) on January 10, 2023.

Ruby has grown into a beautiful example of the breed. She has already exceeded our expectations, winning Best of Breed over specials her first weekend out as a show dog. Her owner caught the "show bug" and took the reins. Together they learned how to show and sailed through her Championship and Grand Championship titles. Now they will be focusing on some performance work.

Sam was a slow boy to mature but at 3 years he really WOW'd me so we set out to ring train him. His first weekend out he took a 5 point major. His second weekend out (our regional specialty) he got another 5 point major and best Bred-By Exhibitor. We plan on continuing to show him in 2024 and maybe trying a little bit of working events.
