Howdy,

I just wanted to let everyone know that was apart of our client family that the CWR run is over. I am so thankful for everyone who sent their dogs OR bought their dogs from me. I have accepted an awesome job offer to be running the training and breeding program at a private ranch outside of Austin and will be moving there very soon. Thank y’all for your support. Keep in touch!
