This is Rip's new champion photo from November of 2024, which is a bit overdue, by over a year lol. Rip is currently 5 points away from achieving Grand Champion status with limited showings and is excelling in personal protection.

Another win for Rip, he is now singled out and we are looking for those last 2 majors to finish him. Nicole Travis has done an amazing job at handling him

Meet Cypher from our last litter, he was the green collared boy for those that were following our puppy journey. Cypher is almost 6 mo old He is loved and owned by the Walker family in Colorado. This is the second dog that the Walkers have gotten from us. Although they live in an area that they are not able to take a dog to training classes, their entire family is onboard setting their dog up for success. They routinely socialize and train Cypher exceeding what any class could offer them and it definitely shows. In this short clip you will see Cypher running through some basic commands. He has a separate place to go when they’re eating dinner which is the table command and a separate place to chill in the living area if needed which is the place command. You will also notice the Walkers use crash for what most of would call a down postion and the word Down for a sit. I’m so thankful for the love, time and devotion that this entire family gives to making Cypher the very best he can be ❤️

To our puppy owners from our last litter, some things to keep in mind as we train through the next 6 mo. This was copied from the AKC website. Remember to consistently train and socialize in new areas. Your dog is what you put into them.

Welcome to Life With a Teenaged Dog: Six to Twelve Months
Remember that adorable cuddly little puppy of just a few months ago? He’s a teenager now and things could get interesting. Dogs of this age start to test boundaries and many will try to assert themselves in the pack. They may challenge their humans and other pets in the household.
Pups at this stage need a GREAT DEAL OF STIMULATION AND ACTIVITY ; their boredom threshold is about the same as a young teenager’s. You can expect some misbehaving and disobedience during this stage, as your pup reaches sexual maturity. Keep up the training and provide lots of opportunity for play and exercise.
Your puppy will become quite the explorer during this stage. Walks around the neighborhood become an adventure for him as he uses scent to learn about his environment; where other dogs live, the best spot to stop for a p*e, the bushes where squirrels hide, and whose grass is the best for rolling around on. Combine teaching good leash manners with enough freedom for some neighborhood exploration.
