PRESENT
Hardin's Hot Rod Hemi, "Hemi"
.jpg)
Hemi's career in dog trials has just started, so far she shows tons of promise. Hemi is an excellent marker, she is full of drive, speed, and style. She wants to work/train as much as she can whether she is training for a hunt test, obedience training, or practicing agility. Everyone LOVES to watch Hemi run! People always say, "That dog is REALLY fast!". Hemi has 2 AKC Senior passes, 1 AKC Rally pass, and is training for agility. While training for Agility, Hunt Tests, and Rally competion Hemi also waterfowl hunts. This is Hemi's second season in the duck blind and she progresses each time she goes out.
Hemi is also a joy to have in the house. She finds just as much joy in running around the house with a squeaky toy as she does running in the field! She also loves to relax and cuddle on the coach.
Hemi was born June 12, 2009. Hemi's sire is FC AFC Wayda Go Call of the Wild, "Drake" and her dam is Jacob's Hermione MH, "Mione" a Master Hunter out of AFC Portland's Muddy Waters, "Muddy". Hemi is a dark chocolate with a very athletic build, she weighs a little under 60lbs. Hemi has all of her clearances and will possibly be breed late in 2012.

Red Roses for a Blue Lady, “Rosie”
Rosie is a dog I bought for my mom so that she would have a nice, calm, intelligent, Chocolate Labrador and Rosie is just that. Rosie is beauty and brains. Although my mom has not competed with Rosie, she does everything my mom asks of her and is a GREAT dog. Rosie lives with my mom in Coos Bay, Oregon and gets to spend a lot of time on the beach.
Rosie not only is a great companion she is also very pretty, with a broad but feminine head and dark chocolate coloring. Rosie's sire is Ch. Sooner or Later XIII and her dam is Latte's Miss Leah CD. Rosie has whelped two litters of exceptional puppies and will have one more litter this summer and then be spayed.

Now Gussi is in retirement and loving it! She spends her weekdays helping people new to Hunt Tests learn to run a dog and her weekends hunting ducks and geese. Occasionally, she helps out with the 4-H group and obedience classes I teach. Currently, Gussi is training to compete in Team Obedience at the 2012 Rose City Classic. Although Gussi is retired she has a lot of life to live and will live on in her puppies and grand puppies.
