(fall 2022 update) He is very good at trailing. He loves the "game." An amazing dog... very smart, lots of energy, but will just chill out when not working. He's got the perfect temperament. He loves people and dogs. Only barks when he hears something strange at night. I can't say enough good things about this guy...I love him!!! (Spring 2022 update) Hi Ramona, He is a wonderful dog - super smart and super head strong! He is the star of his obedience class 😊 In trailing he has moved past the puppy runaways and is now working on a harness and 25' lead. He loves the game and is very food motivated. Thank you again for such a great dog! Julie

Hi Ramona, She's been enjoying NASDA nose work classes, we're picking back up on agility in the new year, she's been a healthy, happy girl. Getting her has been the best decision I've made in a long time. I hope all is well. Garret

Sirius of Sapphire Mountain, SAR Trailing Wilderness.

Hello Ramona, Hope this message finds you well. Siri is progressing well. Earlier this summer he passed his first trailing test with SARDUS here in Colorado, and he has another test coming soon. He is routinely successfully doing 24 hr aged trails around a mile long, so we have every expectation he will do well in the coming test He is very high drive when working.
