Congratulations to Promise!!!

Great news! Promise passes her OFA(Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) hip and elbow certifications with results of "Good" hips and "Normal" elbows! 

 

In addition to receiving this news from OFA, Promise becomes a 3rd generation CHIC! The parent club requires hips and elbows to be screened for dysplasia and also requires the dog to pass a temperament test. Since Promise was screened for hip and elbow disease and passed her TC, she completes the requirements for her CHIC recognition! Just like her sire, Major, and paternal granddam, Pixel! Wooohooo! 

Promise, Arnold, Pieta, and Walker wish everyone a Happy Halloween!!!

September Successes!

We had some fun accomplishments from a few of our dogs in the month of September, 2018! On September 15th Walker earned his Canine Good Citizen title from AKC! On the same day, Promise earned her TKN(Novice Trick Title) from AKC! On the 22nd and 23rd, "Arnold," a dog from our Major x Pieta 2016 litter owned and loved by Caroline and William, debuted in UKC conformation and won best male all four shows, best of winners twice, a best of breed, and a herding group 2! He is close to his championship in just one weekend! Good dogs! 

     

        

Major 

January 4th, 2008 - July 15th, 2018. 

It is with great sadness and broken hearts that we share the news of Major's passing. He holds a very special place in our hearts and always will. We are comforted only with the blessing of having so many kids of his in our lives and the joy of knowing we will see him again in our true home in Heaven. We hold you in our hearts, Moomoo, as the Lord holds you in his arms. 

Promise earns her TC!!!

On June 23rd, 2018, at a German Shepherd Dog Club of America temperament test hosted by the German Shepherd Dog Club of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Promise earned her Temperament Certified title! She was excellent at every station of the test...we are so proud!! Good job baby girl!
