Batari, 14 months old. Only a handful of protection sessions and first time meeting Dominic 💕
13.5 month old protection with Dominic. Very happy with how she’s developing.
Bugz 13 months old heeling. 💕 Getting finishing touches before embarking on her new IGP journey in California! Bugz just started heeling with a ball (was food only prior).
This morning Bugz had her officially X-rays taken for hips/elbows/spine to be sent off to the SV for evaluation. After waking up from sedation she enjoyed some pets from the staff at the Vet clinic.

8 months old
First ever protection session
Bugz, 8 months old. Last month she had her first protection sessions with Lucas and then she took a break for a couple weeks. Today she had her next “boogey man” session since, and prey was introduced for the first time.
So happy with how she’s developing!

Asia turned 7 years old this month 💕
Bugz, 7.5 months old. First “real” protection session. Her last one was when she was around 12 weeks old and it was just rag work. It’s always nice to hear when a helper compliments a puppy from your breeding ❤️
Thank you Lucas Martinez Sancho for getting her started.
Bugz (6 months old) starting to learn the “lift” in lured heeling. I love watching this girl grow.
Bugz 6 months old, very first reaction to gun shots approx. 10 feet away. It was very loud (as guns are 😂) and surrounded by tall hedges that kept the sound in.
Berserker du Feu Ardent, just under 6 months, first ever protection session. So happy to see all the “B” litter babies growing up with their handlers and doing their thing!!

Fiona’s 1st protection session since being here. Between Mark and Dominic’s work, Fiona has had a great start and we are excited to continue that. Looking forward to seeing more of this girl.

Bugz du Feu Ardent - 12 week old 1st ‘Protection’
As a breeder it is very rewarding to see your puppies growing up and doing well at what they are intended to do. Bugz is 12 weeks old and had her first official ‘protection’ session.
Puppies can grow up and take a different direction in their temperament and drives than originally observed, but so far Bugz is showing great traits that I look for in a female. My goal in my program is to produce strong female lines for competition and breeding. The most important trait I am looking at in puppyhood is confidence. I want to see from their first time out of the whelping box a puppy who is confident in new surroundings. I want to see that they are social and happily greeting other people and animals and wanting to engage with people. Bugz demonstrates exactly what I’m looking for. Secondary to her confidence she also has extreme food drive and biddability and is showing very promising prey drive. She is also showing very high handler hardness for her age (which is also a bit scary😂). I’m excited to continue watching her journey with @storm.brick.yaro
