~~~Jackson is our FOURTEENTH certified K9 in the SAR discipline, passing his first test at 15 months of age! He is the first son, sired by K9 Bodie, to certify as a SAR K9. Team Jackson will continue his training working towards his certification in (Live find) Wilderness search.
 
Being a breeder that only produces 2-3 litter a year, we are considered a "small" kennel. We are so grateful to the knowledgeable canine professionals who continue to place their confidence and trust in our breeding program for the last 3 decades.~~~

Here is a little video to commemorate Vista's journey to her Excellent titles. (the 3rd of 4 levels in AKC agility) Qualifying in Excellent requires a perfect or "clean" run.

In light of that, and Vista's fast rise through the levels Paula decided to show Excellent/Masters level adventures as they really are...
