    Ramona, Eight yrs ago you 'gifted me' Marrok.  I've not accomplished as much as I wanted to with him (life happened), but we accomplished enough. He is an amazing demo dog for my training facility. He has been in multiple TV picture shows/series. I have trained him for antler/shed detection (as a hobby). He is also an amazing PPD. Every trainer/decoy that I have worked with truly enjoys him, they all comment on how great of a dog he is (I agree but am biased). I am looking into getting another dog sometime soon and I would love to stick with you. Lisa

    Hi Ramona, “Mac” is doing wonderfully. Always loyal, always by my side, and by far my best worker. This dog exceeded all of my expectations. I wonder sometimes if she is more machine than dog for how well she remembers everything I've taught her and how happy she is to work with me. Almost 7 years old now and recalls happily, lives to please, and smart as ever. She was spayed after 4 and never had a litter. We are hoping to step back in the ring after our pause and trial to finish her CD this year in April/November and I have no lack of confidence in her ability to do so. No real health issues to report. Thank you so much for selling me a dog who is truly like no other, who I will always compare any future dogs to because she is simply amazing. Rest assured she couldn't be more loved here. Alicia, Porta Rico

    Hi Ramona, Pax is doing great. He has one of the best temperaments I've seen in a dog. Non aggressive, very kind and so much fun. Good with kids, puppies, kittens....everthing! Definitely has become a best friend. Tylar

  • Denali of Sapphire Mountain

    (owner writes)
    Hi Ramona! Denali is doing very good, is a wonderful friend and she definitely knows how to make us laugh! She’s very caring and protective of us. She does enjoy showing off her “bubba shovel“ as we call it. She carries it around and slides on it across the yard like a skateboard. It’s an aluminum grain shovel she has a good time with. She’s truly the best!

  • Ahza of Sapphire Mountain

    (owner writes) Hi Ramona,  Ahza was able to help find young calves that were missing for over 24 hours.  It was like a needle in a haystack and the rancher just couldn't find them.  It took Ahza about 30 minutes, I rode past them but he just stopped and stayed by the calf until we got to them.  I'm really glad you matched him with me.  He has enough drive, energy and work ethic to be able to work alongside me on the farm all day and help with the stock. I could not ask for a better match.

  • Grizzly of Sapphire Mountain

    Family dog also in PSA Training; 
    (email from owner)
    Ramona, Hope you are doing well.  It has been 1 year since we drove up to your place to pick up Grizzly.  He is attending ongoing PSA training after graduating through a year of weekly training classes.  He has incredible skills of obedience, and all the work associated with PSA.  We brought him home weighing 9 pounds 1 year ago, today he is just shy of 90.  Beyond his fierce appearance and PSA work, he has one of the biggest hearts I have come to know in a dog.  He watches over family members, neighbor's chickens and is gentle with a moth or grasshopper that has managed to enter the house.  I have never experienced a dog like this, he has truly changed our lives in a great way.  You have provided us with something that is hard to describe with words, to be honest.
    Thank you again Ramona for all the help in getting him for us.  Chip
