A BIT OF BACKGROUND

HOW WE GOT STARTED

​

In 2001, canine training became a large part of my life. After training our beloved lab and border collie mix in agility and obedience we decided to to get a PWD. We took on our first PWD Frankie, in 2014. Frankie and I showed in the conformation ring to achieve our Championship and we also completed many titles in agility, nose work, obedience, search and rescue, and water work.  Presently Frankie and I work in Search and Rescue with the NWI SAR group.  We also enjoy water competitions and just recently achieved our Courier Excellent title(CWDX) in 2024.   Our foundation bitch, Valli was added to the family in 2019. She has had three litters and is now retired from breeding.  She currently works in Search and Rescue, agility, obedience, and rally.  She also enjoys water competitions and we are currently working and training at the courier level. I will be forever grateful of the instincts she has had as a mother and all the experiences she has taught me about breeding.   Valli blessed up with a little girl in 2022.  We kept a little black and white curly girl that was chosen by a good friend and AKC judge, Stan Matsumoto. Since then Annie has won a few Best of Breed competitions and has really surprised us in the conformation ring.  She has beautiful structure and a will to work.  She will be bred in the future and has been cleared on all recommended tests.  Annie is pictured below with Candice Waters when awarded her second 5 point major in one weekend.
