Time for a photo dump, and an update on our oldest family member and patriarch of the family, Xerxes. At 13 years old now, he’s the oldest member of our household, and he never lets us forget that he’s entitled to special senior privileges. He gets around pretty well in spite of his age, and if you don’t look at his teeth nubs you wouldn’t easily guess his age. We still like taking him out a few times a year for shows, his favorite being the SHCA Nationals, which he’s attended twice. Whenever he goes to a specialty or supported entry show, he’s in the ribbons and he has a few Best In Show Veteran awards in his resume. He has produced three AKC Grand Champion kids, one major pointed kid, two AKC Champion Grandkids and his impact on our breeding program is very meaningful. In his prime Xerx was a powerhouse. He weighed 65lbs and could (and did) leap straight up in the air to look at you over the top of a gate. He once chewed his way through a heavy duty wire crate to get to a bag of snacks, and anyone who tried to get him to behave on leash was rewarded with sore hands, arms and shoulders. His personality was that of a gentle giant, as he never had a mean bone in his body and really just wanted to cuddle. Prior to his life in California he lived in the far North East part of the country, and did recreational dog sledding, which suited him well given his incredible strength and tenacity. He passed his personality qualities on to his offspring, as well as important physical traits that I always admired. His blocky head, thick bone and substance, tiny ears and thick coat are all attributes that you can see in various kids but particularly Jemma and her kids Sonic and Terra. Today he had the full spa treatment- a deep cleansing bath and conditioning- and of course full body massage and all the love he could have. I wanted to take the time to update my photo album, because at his age every photo I take of him could easily be the last. I hope he’s around a few more years, but for now we are going to take it one day at a time ❤️.

I love this 🤣. Shelters wouldn’t be overflowing with genetic nightmare dogs if people were responsible enough to buy a good dog from a good breeder and then be good, attentive owners. Instead of buying a quality dog, they go cheap, because why spend money on a dog you don’t plan to keep forever. For the most part, that’s what winds up in shelters. Poorly bred dogs (through no fault of their own) can have behavior problems and health issues…. So they get dumped in a shelter. I get calls daily from people wanting to rehome their dogs… and when I ask where the dog came from, it’s never a breeder. It’s always “my friend had a litter” or “my neighbor” or something like that. I tell them to give the dog back to the breeder, and they are puzzled. “They won’t take it back” That’s the difference… breeders do take them back. Because we care.

I’m not a huge fan of wire crates for this reason. They are potentially very dangerous, and not very dog proof. I always recommend Impact, ruffland or other similar professional crates.

Today in Gillette WY we took some of the dogs out to the “Gillettearod” fun walk. It benefits local vaccine clinics. What a fun event! They give out vials of “vaccine” and have dog and human snacks along the way. Tortik, Olaf, Serin and baby WY had a blast. Our kennel assistant Alicia and her son Jack helped out. Weather was perfect, sunny and warm. ❤️🐕❤️

It’s been awhile since our beautiful Olaf did a photo session, so after a good bath I took a few minutes to let him ham it up. He’s about to turn six in April, and is in his prime. We are so glad to call him ours ❤️
