Thank you for the insight Dave. Like I said before, I am really excited about that dog. He is in the best hands possible. Did you look at the pics below of the sibs? I am trying to get some more pics as well of other sibs too. That Jazzmen female is now finally recognized as a Jr Champion in ABNA, all she needs now is her major as an adult, which she barely missed in Freeport, and she will be a Champion Adult. training has begun with her for a bst. I am told by her trainer she should be ready next year.
I may have found some people to train with down here in the valley, so I will hopefully be working with Pudge my waldo/gunny pup and Maddie, my pup I kept form my last litter out of Sidney. Hopefully down the line I can put at least brevets on them.
