A young son of Brec. Photo taken during a break in training at the new stadium where he performed his first "sweep" and screening of a few carts. This male has good health, superb character, lives in a multi dog household with little children without issue, has high drives in training with a great "off switch" at home. We expect him to complete his explosives detection and criminal apprehension training/certification next year.

SAR female in training; Good morning, Ramona., Just wanted to send you an update on Lizzy. We are doing well and training hard. She just passed her temperament test with the Clackamas county sheriffs office. She got a perfect score!! The temperament test is more like a CGC test, pretty much all the same elements. She had to heel off leash within a crowd (right turn, left turn, and about face). We had to do a figure 8 around two other officers and their dogs and then sit and have the same dogs turn round her. She had to pass the non-reactivity test to an officer in a bite suit (the SAR team does not allow dogs with bite experience to be on the team). And she had to be left alone on lead with me leaving the room and then be handled with an officer. She was amazing and quite the charmer. Everyone loved her sweet demeanor and small frame. We are getting quite close to our certification test. I am hoping to get her certified by the end of the summer. She is great, I just need to work out some of my own kinks with line management and working blind trails. Being able to read and trust your dog on a blind trail the hardest part, in my opinion. I hope all is well with you and your family. Thank you, as always, for giving me such an amazing dog. She is beloved by everyone she meets. Brooke

Young Orion, an SAR prospect in training. Owner Paul reports he's a very trainable, fun pup to work with and that several head trainers have stated positive remarks on this youngster's ability.

Pup Saber swimming with PSD RHAEGAR Dual Purpose, Specialty Narcotics K9. Saber is in training to replace Rhaegar.

As you know, tomorrow he will be 8 months old. He's gorgeous, a big puppy with a big personality. He's very active, loves helping with feeding livestock and collecting everything he can get in his mouth and decorating the house and yard. He steals everything in his reach, but the tv remote and Jim's glasses are his favorites. Sometimes both in his mouth at the same time! He's affectionate and loves to ride in the truck. Diane

Hi Ramona, It’s impossible for a pup to be loved more than this one! He has been perfect for us. He is crazy smart, so well-adjusted and LOVES training. He is a “steady eddy” nothing rattles him (just like you told us). He is going to be a great service dog for us! JH
