Currently, we're into packing, drafting, weight pull, herding, water rescue, and much more obedience.  Check out our SWDA group for more info on upcoming events. 

Coffee Table Sleeper

Type & Structure: Beautiful headpiece, strong limbs, large paws, and very well muscled.  Currently 132 lbs at 28 inches. Sound and well angulated. Powerful and fluid movement.  Very Tight Feet.  Check out his International Show Critiques.   He has also been objectively evaluated by many professional handlers and judges.  References available. 

Running along the beaches of Florida - showing off those pearly whites

Heckling the neighbors! Showing off his structure - naturally.

Free stack in the front yard - 3 years  showing off his structure - naturally. 

Spotted by the Bryan/College Station Eagle.

Temperament: High tolerance to pain, quickly bounces back.  Persistent and great worker.  Strong herding and protective instinct (especially attentive to sounds of distress).  Determined to save anyone on land or water.  See water rescue page for more detail. Stable and strong.  No Aggression in any way shape or form (I wouldn't tolerate that in my house anyways). 

Loving on Sergeant Bunny.  It was the best bunny ever.  

Personality: Does everything with enthusiasm.  Falls in love easily with humans.  Gets along great with animals and humans.  Very playful.  I've had many trainers describe him as a true alpha dog, very confident in himself.  He is so confident that he doesn't mind when getting humped, and I think he might like it.   Extremely attuned to other dogs' body language and great in all social situations.  He's a dog that presents himself in a non-threatening way and does well with shy, fearful, or reserved dogs.  He is used often to get a dog to warm up and get comfortable in obedience class.  When it comes to rescue, we get the worst fosters because Mouse always does so well in getting them into shape for their new families.  He's so cool, calm, and collected.  Oh, and did I mention he's a goofball?

Being a really cute Baby Mouse.
