| Whew! What a year! This year was the biggest year to date for putting titles on our dogs...seven titles total...all owner/trained/handled. Hike earned his OA, OAJ, AX and AXJ. He also started his MACH, MX, and RN. Payton earned her RN and NAJ. She also trained hard for her obedience titles and we hope to bring her out next year. Magnum earned his NA. Race and Lance began their tracking, obedience and agility training. Chubbs began his agility and obedience training. We are very blessed to share our lives with these wonderful dogs. And, we are so grateful for their health and happy spirits. Many from our Pepper/Payton litter began their training in different venues. Lance and Race are mentioned above. Annie earned 2 of her RN legs and is training in tracking, obedience, rally, agility and herding -- she's a BUSY girl! Mack received a VP rating and 3 SG ratings, represented us well at several AKC all breed shows and several ARC specialties, and earned his CGC. He also started training for his obedience titles and dabbled in agility. Carley was very active in 4-H and even placed second in her county! She began her agility and obedience training. Sage, Jager and Mojo are all thriving in their homes and are leading active lives with their families. We are so very grateful for the homes we have for our babies. We appreciate each and every one of them so very much! There was sadness this year also... Losing Connor and Austin just 13 days apart was a very hard thing. There are no words to describe how much they are missed... We wish for all of you a wonderful 2006 -- filled with many exciting adventures with your special "kids". We pray you and your companions will have happiness and health... See you in 2006! 12/11/05 ~ WooHoo!
