The Original Counterpart - Babi the Dog!
This pit bull came into my life just as I was graduating high school. She is the main reason for my path here, and I credit so much of who I am to her. Dogs are truly the best! If it hadn't been for this dog, well...I don't really know. But thank gosh for her! Babi dog taught me to have discipline and compassion, to be patient, and to be a leader. When we met, she was far from the dog she would become. She was dog reactive, resource guarded, had separation anxiety - the whole gambit. I would come home to messes, escaped crates, doors chewed up - you name it! The worst part was - sometimes she was GREAT! There was a lot happening for the two of us and that's when I knew - I HAD to do this! After years of training and time, she became a demo dog in my career, a Canine Good Citizen, and a Novice titled Barn hunter. She will forever have my heart, and I strive to carry on her legacy in everything I do.
CH Reflection du Joie de Vie CGC TKN RA - The Show Dog!
Reflection is a beautiful beauceorn bred by JDV Beaucerons. She was my first pure bred dog from a reputable breeder. Through this commitment, I began to learn even more about dogs. I dived deeper into the world of sports because of her and learned what it meant to preserve the majesty of the dog community.
Reflection earned her Champion title in Conformation, exclusively owner handled by me. We have also gone on to have fun in sports like Rally and Agility, earning titles in those as well!
She is my true Reflection and the inspiration behind this very business. It is true what they say after all...your dog is a Relfection of you!
Link the Malinois!
This boy has been my greatest teacher yet! He came into my life by surprise, but I was committed to leveling up to be the leader he needed. I have had a blast beginning to learn about another arena of dogs and learning. I have since began to research the inner workings of drive channeling and play with your dog, incorporating that into my training regime. I have also learned about different obedience disciplines and the introductory phases of a bite sport. We are by no means trainers of protection or bite work, but owning Link has given me a respect and a sparkling desire to learn more! He is yet another example of the importance of knowing and giving your breed an outlet to be who they are!
We have been slow to start our sporting career, with only one title in Barn hunt and a couple Rally legs. A perfect lesson in expectation and patience. He is an incredible dog, but we are moving at HIS pace - NOT mine! I am excited to see what he and I accomplish in the future! STAY TUNED!
Buster Brown Boy - the cute one!
This little boy snuck into my heart even more unexpectedly than his brother before him. Bred by a former colleague of mine, he attended a puppy social I hosted. The rest is history - I remember naming him Buster right then as I said, "You're a little buster for being so cute." He has been the perfect addition to my pack and the sweetest little boy! We plan to have a big agility future ahead, as well as Rally and other sports, I am sure. He has excelled at so much so far at such a young age. He has begun to demo alongside his sibling for other dogs and become a good example of a canine counterpart.
STAY TUNED!
