| Bailee and I had quite a weekend in Carson City playing with the Blue Tahoe Schutzhund Club. We had outrageously hot and humid temperatures and a very long day on the playing field. Bailee started her tracking nicely at a local park and was terribly distracted by a homeless person which ruined our day for tracking, but we went on.... Next (many hours later - increasing the temperatures dramatically) came the obedience portion. Bailee really put on a nice show for the team - she lost points in the send out (she wasn't running to the end of that field for anyone), Mom also screwed her up on the A-frame with a bad throw and a German speaking judge trying to help but we totally mis-communicated. This hurt her scores but she did a very nice job considering the terrible conditions. She really shined in the bitework, receiving a score of 85 and a rating of "pronounced A". This made all the suffering in the heat worth it. After her break we'll take her back for more Schutzhund fun. |
| This is where all the hard work pays off, a million dollar shot of bitework at its best. |
| One of the important aspects of loving dogs is knowing when the time has come to move them on to a better life. We love our dogs enough to find them fabulous family homes where they spend happy years playing and loving the new family. |

| Bailee has also moved on to a fabulous world. She is now owned by the Sander Family in Scotts Valley, California. She has two wonderful boys who will love her for the rest of her life. She also has the ability to go to work with her new mom and never to be left alone again. Her days are completely full and she is getting the love and attention she deserves. She also is an important part of the family protection - both at work and home. Good luck Bailee ! I know she will make me proud and be an ambassador of to the German Shepherd Breed. |
I am very pleased to announce my Fritz has flown away to live in Idaho. I am pleased that he now has two doggie family members plus a large assortment of other critters. He has moved away to live with Terry and this will be a happily ever after scenario. GOOD NEWS!!!! Fritz loves the snow! I will miss you and the dumb doggie tricks you let me put you through... |

| The courage test: The dog must be willing to fight when threatened, even when the option to escape is present. |
| Guarding: Bailee cannot bite the bad guy unless he moves to attack or flee. |
