😔The Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD) family is sad to report the passing of search dog Gunner. 

He was more than just a search dog; he was a beloved member of the ACFD family and touched the lives of many with his spirit and dedication.

His contributions to rescue missions and the love he brought to those around him will be remembered. 

Gunner proudly responded from Station 24, and then Station 18 with Captain Alex Mengell for 13 years.

❤️🚒Sending thoughts and condolences to Captain Mengell and everyone who loved Gunner. 

He will always be a cherished hero. 
In the words of Station 24, Gunner is finally free.🐾🐾

Help this handsome boy find a home!

If you saw our previous post about Remus (go check it out if you haven’t!) you know that we are doggedly determined to help this sweet, silly boy find his forever home! 🏡

It’s been a little tricky to place him because people like to think of our dogs as rock stars (which they are) but Remus is more like a solo folk singer. He’s got a few quirks and maybe he’s a bit of an oddball, but if you’re into his music—he’s amazing! In other words, he’s not exactly a party animal—but he’s no party pooper either! Remus has lots of hobbies and interests, like hiking, learning new tricks and practicing nose work. He’s talented too—in his very first nose work competition, he came home with loads of ribbons! 🏅 He’s also a total goofball, and we wouldn’t have him any other way. ❤️

Remus may not be an “every dog” for every person, but we know his perfect place is out there! You can help him find his forever home by giving this post a like, leaving a comment, or sharing with your family, friends and followers to boost the post and help Remus’ story reach as many people as possible. 📣 Want to do more? We were hoping you’d say that! Comment ‘Remus’ and we’ll send you a DM with everything you need to get the word out about Remus and help this deserving boy find his forever home.

And of course, if Remus sounds like the dog for you, let’s get in touch! Comment, message, or head to our website—linked in our profile—to learn more about Remus and fill out an application today. 💞

Remus is ready for his happily ever after—let’s help him find it, together! 🫶

What a day today was! Despite heavy rain and showing indoors, Maze (Garmr’s Ascension from H3ll v Dun Roman) was awarded WB in her first show at 6 months old. Not to be outdone by her grandmother, Maze made sure to bring the fire and follow in Queen Laefa’s footsteps by winning at her debut! We’re very excited about our spirited girl’s bright future. She’s the second AKC pointed from our Santos x Kai’sa litter, with their littermate Thora close behind.

Thora (Garmr’s Alectrona) also made her debut today and was awarded RWB 🎉

Thank you to judge Clay Coady and the Sacramento Kennel Club for finding our beautiful girls today!

Yesterday was a very special (and busy) day celebrating Queen Læfa’s 9th birthday! Læfa makes the world a better place and continues to epitomize what a Corso can and should be. Anyone who’s met her knows that she lights up the room and instantly gains your respect and adoration. She’s the perfect ambassador for the breed (she has fans around the globe) and has shown people who were skeptical of the breed just how amazing they can be.

Whoever came up with the saying that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks never met Læfa or a Corso. Over the last year she has earned a heap of titles and accolades to her already long list of achievements. Since turning 8, Læfa has earned: Trick Dog Intermediate and Advanced, CGC (she earned this with her favorite human, Jennifer Costantinidis), FitDog Bronze, Rally Novice, Intermediate, Advanced AND Excellent, as well as being named the CCAA 2023 Veteran of the Year. On top of all that, we are still running agility. Some of her prior accomplishments include:
• 2022 CCAA Grand Champion
• 2021 CCAA Breeder’s Cup Invitational Winner
• 2021 #10 ranked Corso (with limited showing)
• 2020 Westminster Best of Breed
• 2019 #5 ranked Corso ( #2 bitch)

We can’t say enough about her – she’s such a special animal. Læfa has accomplished more in 9 years than most humans do in a lifetime, and she’s far from done. We got her solely as a companion; little did we know how much she’d change our lives forever and become such an icon for this breed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to her breeder Peter and all the breeders behind her.

Long live Queen Læfa!
