More Boss Boss came to us a bomb sniffer dog. We tried to place him but (so what's new!) we fell in love with him. So rather than send him back into that world, we decided to keep him. Boss will be working on his Schutzhund titles in the next year. He obviously has an excellent nose, has great obedience and a good Schutzhund bite. He is calm, yet playful and loves hanging out in the house when Rickie isn't around. (Did we mention that Boss is World Champion Tom van't Leefdaalhof's son?) |

More Panter Okay again. We fell in love with Panter and he is now stuck with us.Very handsome red sable male with pronounced pigment. His medium size and broad chest makes him a compact yet powerful dog. He has a great working pedigree and a "G" show rating. Super, mature dog. Very good bite and tracking and a great willingness to work for the handler. (In addition to all the above high powered stuff, this dog has a great sense of humor. In fact, we call him "Panticakes" behind his back of course!) |

Mark affectionate called "The Moose" is a bit gangly. He is so full of joy and playful energy, we can't seem to fatten him up. Mark has discovered his archenemy, THE SQUIRREL. He runs out in the morning, finds the "squirrel tree" and runs up and down in front of it... for hours! We believe the squirrel has decided to tease Mark. I am not sure but think that Squirrel is throwing things at him. When Squirrel is not around, Mark plays with his huge (really huge) blue ball. His dark face makes him menacing looking but he is really an old softy. |

Squishy as she was affectionately named by an anonymous source (Chuck) likes spending her days jumping and running. She eats like a horse and still stays sleek. If we could market her metabolism, we would be very rich! Squishy is a sweet dog that likes to hang out with humans more than other dogs. She likes to chase cats. She sees Pepa as a nice mid morning snack. Other than that she is perfect! |
|
More Bo "Bo Peep" is now as tall as her mother Beah but very sleek. We do feed her and she does eat but she is slender as a rail. Maybe that is because she likes running around the kennels and checking on the dogs to make sure they are "toeing the line". Bo is very good at reaching food left on the counter. She is very good at stealing cheese from the counter and hiding it. We find dry cheese behind pillows, under beds, in our wing chair... She can even reach into the sink and pull out pots and pans. We think Chepa taught her how to do that! |

Hannah Banana is Uschi's daugher. Her father is (world famous) VA10 Orbit von Tronje. Hannah is a very sweet dog. We know this because Hannah has been with us since she was born and we were never mean to her!! Hannah likes to sit outside in the rain. She always (well, not always) looks wet because she usually is. For some reason she doesn't like to come in at night and she has learned all our "getting her inside tricks" so those don't work anymore (cookies, treats, hide and seek, hide and sneak, ignoring, begging...). We are always telling her she is a goober but we are not sure she knows what that means. She is a great, fun and funny dog. |

Hexe is a very active dog. She likes to play with Boss and actually is our only female that gives him a hard time. Other than rough playing with Boss, she is very gentle and sweet (look into her eyes!). She likes to try to sit on our laps which is okay some of the time... this depends on how much mud she has been stomping in... she is rather a tomboy dog and doesn't care about tracking dirt all over the place, especially freshly laundered pants and ESPECIALLY white tee shirts! Hexe means "witch" in German. Hmmm... Love her lots. |
|
Truth be know, Tom named her Piggy when she was little because she liked to eat a lot (as all puppies do). It stuck! She isn't really a piggy anymore but she doesn't come unless she is called "Piggy" So that's that! Pig is a water dog just like her Mom Amber. She is in and out of the water in all kinds of weather. She even likes sitting out in the rain especially if it is pouring! |

More Pooka Pookey Chop Chop is an Aya x Panter puppy. She is very laid back and has a very sweet disposition. She loves watching and playing with all the little puppies and is extremely gentle with them. Whenever we can't find her, she is usually hanging out with the new puppies... either outside the whelping room, outside the x-pen or outside the kennels. She just watches and watches the little one until they can come out and play. Pooka likes to eat her food lying down?! She also has the ability to fall asleep anywhere and at anytime. |

More Juni AKA as Junior, Bug, Juni Bug, the Bugman. NOT "June Buggy"! |
|
|
Pepa, the tiny black dog, is the most ferocious of the bunch. In her spare time, Pepa likes to hunt for snakes, rodents and any other small critters. Pepa is also known as the black monster. |

Eyelash is in Connecticut living with Nick and Mary and her son Bosco. More Aya Aya, also known as Eyelash, is a real sweetie. Eyelash especially likes sleeping with The Child. Aya loves going for a dip in the pool. She uses the pool stairs, does a lap or two and then gracefully exits via the stairs. She is loved almost to death! |
|
Chepa is with Janet in Cape Cod, tracking in sand and she is probably figuring out her food stealing tactics. More Chepa Chepa is our smartest dog. She figured out how to open the kennel latch and she wanders around and helps herself to the dog food whenever she is hungry. She also opens the milk bone tin so that the other dogs can help themselves. It would be upsetting if it wasn't so funny! Chepa is no longer a little puppy. We just can't get a good picture of her?! Maybe she thinks we are trying to get a police "mug" shot of her so we can put her on the most wanted food stealing list. |
|
The Lady is enjoying her retirement by eating lots and sleeping. She has unfortunately gotten quite "round". She remains as sweet as ever and patiently tolerates all the different puppies as they climb all over her. More Beah Lady Beah is a gentle soul. As one of the permanent (not rotating) house dogs, she is the universal "mother". It doesn't matter to her if a puppy is not hers, she is sweet and tolerant. She lets babies, toddlers, children and dogs walk (literally) all over her, a patient yet resigned expression on her face. She loves riding in the car best of all. |
|
She will be living with a wonderful family in Cambridge...and is now looking forward to living the city life... Lattes, sidewalks, traffic and leash walks. "Nally" is gone but will never be forgotten. "Nala" thinks this picture is too formal. So we have included a "dorky" picture of her. Usually, her ears stand straight up and she doesn't look so much like a bat. But we feel bad just showing her goofy side so.... we added a nicer picture of her! |
|
Tammy continues to be her happy, playful self. Tennis balls last about 5 seconds (okay, minutes) in her mouth before they become fuzz with rubber guts. We have started throwing her apples. We figure they are edible. She likes those as well, they are healthy and we don't care if nothing remains! |
in "chicken jail" |
More Maya With great sadness, we announce that on December 17, 2001, Maya lost her long fight with cancer. She was a faithful and loyal friend and we will miss her forever. Maya you will always be in our heart. |
|
Rickie the Pickle, frog catcher supreme, loved by all has now joined Maya. He continues to watch over us. Joyous memories of his silly antics help us hold back the tears. More Rickie Rickie has decided that Tom is his special person. When Tom leaves, Rickie plants himself on the bed (rain or shine - we do a lot of laundry here) that has a window view overlooking the driveway. He just waits and waits until he hears the car and then... with one bound, he is down the stairs and out the door. If the door happens to be closed, well that is a story unto itself... Did we tell you about the window? (That is how he got his nickname Frankensnout) |
|
Bea is the guarder of the food. No matter how much food is out, Bea feels it is her job to guard it. An Australian Shepherd, Bea likes to spend her days either guarding food or herding... big dogs, little dogs, puppies, chickens, people... |
 |
Our sweet "Ari Calamari" - gone but not forgotten! More Ari Ari hasn't changed much. He spends most of his day trying to bite the water from the sprinkler. If the sprinkler isn't running , he looks for faucet drips. If there aren't any drips, he likes to attack the hose, bite the connector off and leave bite holes everywhere. We estimate that we need to buy an average of 4 hoses - extra long ones at that - twice a year (about 24 so far!). We are contemplating buying stock in a hose manufacturing company soon. |
|
We will miss her tremendously. She will always be a part of us in spirit and in thought. More Amber Amber loves to play in the mud with her Boomer ball and just loves to come bounding into the house covered with mud. She waits until an unsuspecting being is near her and ...then she shakes, spraying mud all over the place! This works especially well when we are eating dinner. (We think this is why our friend Gerlinde refuses to visit us) |
