I was lucky to have the opportunity to show Dexter to his championship, easily finishing him in the Bred-By class. Along the way he also achieved a Bred-By Exhibitor Group 1. Dexter is a rock solid dog, including his temperament. Sadly, likely due to his trusting and people loving nature, he disappeared, likely picked up, within moments of an emergency stop on a rural road October 2019. Although extensive searching was done, there was no trace or sightings of this big red gorgeous dog. His friends and family still hold hope he will find his way home.

Jace caught my heart strings from the beginning but another male was not going to fit in our home at the time. The home that he was going to had a an unexpected life event occur and realized a new puppy was also not good timing. Lucky for me, a good friend expressed her interest in a boy and was the perfect fit for Jace. I got to play with him in the showring, finishing his championship, but his heart belonged to my friend's husband. Sadly, her husband passed, leaving not only her, but Jace, heartbroken. It was decided it would be best for Jace to go live with a family with children to help him over the loss. This family just so happened to be the original family that had to pass on taking him at 8 weeks! Jace had gone a full circle of friends and families. In his new home, Jace also has a new job. He goes to work once a week assisting his owner at a school for young adults with Downs Syndrome. This has earned him his AKC Therapy Dog title.

Potter's family (Escalade Bullmastiffs) exudes pride and love everytime they speak of him. He has shown himself to be an amazing ambassador for the breed. The public gravitates towards him and he reciprocates the attention. He was shown to his grand champion then got his Advanced Rally title. His most important job in life though is the constant companion and service dog for his girl.

Aksel and Paula are an amazing team that I could not be more proud of. Together they have ventured into the world of dog sports with no previous experience and no hesitation and have accomplished amazing things together. With a couple of classes under their belt, they walked away with a 5 point major at their first (regional specialty) show! They easily finished his championship and are on their way to his grand championship. His sound temperament and their bonded relationship shines through in the working events they've tackled. To date, he has his intermediate Rally title, and I see many more events and titles in their future.

As his name implies, Zeppelin lives in California with his two people and Am. Staff. "brother." He was shown to his championship and now leads the life of a pampered pet. Zeppelin has passed his health clearances including hips, elbows and heart.
