Sarge was returned to us because of his owners declining health, so we are fortunate to have him join our breeding program. Sarge was raised in a child foster care home for children with disabilites, and was at all times a perfect gentleman. Soon after sarge was returned we saw first hand how much he adores children. We have never seen a dog get so excited when a child comes into his sight. Sarge is a deep blk/red and on 1/2006 was weighed at the vets and now weighs 141 lbs (vet verified)and is 29 3/4" at the shoulders. Sarge not only has a wonderful temperament, but is extremely intelligent, which we learned quickly about, when he started opening up gates and doors soon after he was returned to us. He is a thinker, and has a great nose for tracking. He now resides with his new foster parents, and their young daughter, and is waiting for us to call on his services. Take a look at some of our offsprings on our photo's page.

He is our tallest boy at 31" at the shoulders, and is 139.8 lbs (vet verified on 10/2004). I took these pictures when he was out in my driveway, and then on the deck. My deck railings are 36" tall, so this will give you an idea how tall this boy is. In the last picture he is at the door waiting to come in the house. He lives with his foster dad in PA, and is waiting for us to call on his services. Rugger will be retired in December of 2007.

Colton (Retired)

Colton is our youngest boy, and he lives with his foster mom here in Michigan, and we are waiting for him to grow up and join our breeding program. Colton is picture at 1 1/2 yrs old, and he is a really deep blk/red, but for some reason my camera did not show his true coloring, so I've added another close up picture below to show you how deep red this boy is. No vet verified weight or height taken yet. But my measurements were 27 1/2" at 11 mths old. Watch for updates on this boy. His foster mom is a trainer, and she said he is extremely intelligent, medium drive, with a stable temperament. She said he loves everyone, and is a very happy boy.

Colton (Retired)

This is not a very good picture, but it shows how deep a blk/red that colton is. And we expect his blk/red to become deeper has he grows and matures...................................................TO SEE SOME OF COLTON'S BROTHERS AND SISTERS GO TO OUR PHOTO'S PAGE AND CLICK ON OFFSPRING.
