We are overjoyed to announce the arrival of our newest additions, our
“Charlie and The Chocolate Factory” litter!!!

This pairing gives us the opportunity to bring together some wonderful dogs into one lovely pedigree and carry on their legacy!!!

On the Dam side, Miss Charlie finished her AKC CH and GCH with her junior handler, Makynlee, at the helm!!! She has earned multiple AKC working group placements, multiple NOHS group wins and placements, was a 2025 Top 20 invitee, and earned multiple backend titles!!! Her Dam, Schatzi, has produced multiple group winning and group placing dogs in both of her 2 litters!!! Not to mention some wonderful temperaments!!! On her Sire side, Thor, was the CKC National BISS and is son of Kiro!! What’s not to love ❤️

On the Sire, Mr Dutchman is just a few points shy of AKC GCH Silver, he has multiple AKC group wins, multiple AKC group placements, multiple NOHS group wins and placements, and was the 2025 BRTCA Top 20 winner as both the NOHS and regular qualifier, all with his co-owner and co-breeder at the helm!!! Behind him his Sire, Kiro, has the distinction of being a Res.Junior WW, and his dam, Kalliste, brings forth some powerful Russian lines!!!

Both parents have their CHIC numbers and this litter will be HU and JLPP clear by parentage.
We do still have limited availability!! PM or email for details 💖!

Miss Charlie earned the last leg of her AKC Scentwork Container Advanced title at the Collie Club of Western Washington Scentwork trial!!
She is definitely a goofball who likes to keep things challenging for me…IYKYK 🤣🤣
She is now “AKC GCH Sparta’s Going Mach 2️⃣ With Her Hair On Fire, RATN SWN SCA”
I will be taking a little break from trialing Charlie in AKC while I focus on getting Bogie through novice and advanced, and trying to get both dogs into a NACSW trial, fingers crossed!!

WAY TO GO JEAN AND CHARLIE!!

Proving that some old dogs LOVE new tricks, Master Bogie passed his NACSW ORT!!! Bogie hadn’t been on odor for long at all when it was decided hey let’s go for it 😂😂, and in usual Master Bogie fashion he didn’t let us down!!!
We certainly do wish we had gotten him back into this sport when he was a little younger because he is sooo much fun!!! But we will enjoy the time we do have together 💗💗💗!
