Via phone conversations, Margot has stated that Gunda demonstrates endless drive and nerve level needed to do police work.  Her tracking instinct is very strong.  She is heavy boned, dark and gorgeous.

Yes, perfect.  Took her to our vet today and you got the highest compliment.  He was very impressed.  We are too. Max, our husky, loves her.  She, of course, has already stood her ground with him and won. They play good together. I am very pleased on how the transition has been.  She seems to be potty trained as well?  She cries when she needs to use the bathroom so we take her out.  I am surprised about that.  Thank you again.  I will keep you posted on her. By the way, how much does her mother and father weigh?  If it was in the paperwork than I am sorry.  My husband took it to work today.  I am just curious on how big she will get.

The puppy Margaux is doing wonderful.  My husband and I are so pleased with her.  She is so calm. Max, the husky, adores her.  I take her to obedience class every Tuesday. She gets one on one with the instructor and she has also paid you and Margaux multiple compliments.  Thank you again for our Margaux.  I will forward you a new picture soon.

We have enjoyed Margaux very much.  We have a creek on our land that we take the two dogs to, and Margaux just loves the water!  She is finally the alpha male...ha.  She has made herself the queen bee already.  Which that is what we wanted.  I had her going to obedience school since I adopted her and she did so well that the teacher dismissed her for a while.  Good news to us. We will start her training back up soon.  Please tell me again that I am
doing the right thing in not spaying her too soon.  At what age did you recommend it?  My email has been down for some time and so I did not have the one that you sent telling me about this.

Quinn working a water-cadaver problem.

Michalle is a member of Lake County Search & Rescue.  Michelle is currently in training with Quinn to become a certified team for LCS&R. Michelle is a training partner of mine and it has been very interesting for me to watch these two progress in their training.  Quinn is an exceptional dog from the Rocky/Pearl cross, strong drive, absolutely solid nerved,  exceptional tracker and excellent cadaver dog.  A wonderful working dog!!

8-18-06; Hi guys, Just wanted to send along a pic of Sky working a 200 foot trail with 2 corners and a cross trail.  He did great.  I had to stop him once where the trail entered some tall weeds, he diverted a couple of feet.  But did not pay any attention to the cross trail.  Made both 90 degree corner with out a hitch.  He loves to trail, and is working totally for his toy on trails. Glenn
8-16-06; Ramona! Were doing great. Sky is running Scent discriminating trails every other day now and working cadaver on the alternate days.  He went along on a cadaver search today to follow along and was very mature.  He is a pleasure to work with.  Acts very grown up. Not hardly any goofy puppy stuff.  Is getting very reliable on recall.  Stays with me like glue out in the brush. Glenn
8-2-06; Hey!  This is a picture from our second session with cadaver scent at the scent board at age 10 1/2 weeks.  I think part of the reason we are getting such a good indication is the height of the source, and the fact that we have been working on the sit command.  So far he has sat every time and has correctly located 10 of 10 source placements  with a little encouragement needed twice.  His trails are better without any food in the trail.  He takes the scent article very well.  Still swings between toy and food for reward. Glenn

SKY 8 weeks starting in tracking.

Showing indication at the scent board 10 1/2 weeks.

Dear Ramona, Hello Just wanted you to have these pictures of Rocky. He is a big beautiful male. He has a great temperament and lots of ball drive ,  he's  so willing to please . He is a great addition to our family as a our guardian and friend. He will be a great stud dog in the future. His sound temperament and levelheaded attitude allows us to take him everywhere we go. He is wonderful with our 3 year old grandson Jacob.  We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful dog. Thanks so much. Cindy Gehring

YAN LIA of Sapphire Mountain: 
(aka Samson) male
Classification:  Detection & breeding prospect.
Owner: Betty Stoudt,  www.amulettk9.com, PA.
Betty also owns VICKY of Sapphire Mountain a (Rocky/Petra) female.  She is preparing her for detection and protection work, may pursue sport with her.

Hi Ramona, I wanted to tell you how pleased I am with Vikki and Sam! They are everything that a K9 handler dreams of, and you have provided them with early training that is priceless. Through proper socialization and exposure to all kinds of environments in early life, your dogs develop confidence in themselves and trust in humans that help them to fulfill their inherited potential.
   
Vikki has just starting training for Personal Protection. We chose this because of her high drive, natural protective instincts and the close bond that we have developed. Down the road, I anticipate Narcotics Detection training. She is a head turner and everyone at the Training Center has commented on her gorgeous looks as well as her working potential.
   
Sam is the PR man! He makes friends everywhere he goes. He is so sweet and lovable that he makes everybody smile with his funny, playful personality. He is truly a "sleeping giant," because I see in him, the ability to do anything a handler would want to do. He is confident, focused, smart as can be, learns very fast, and once he's got it, he wants to do it right for you every time!  We have done basic obedience and the sit association. We are beginning Tracking/Trailing now, and will add Human Remains Detection. I think Sam will be wonderful for our demonstrations for kids.
   
Many thanks for my exceptional K9s of Sapphire Mountain.
  Betty
