He is from top European working lines with wonderful conformation and character. He is a very high energy dog with extremely high food and ball drive and a perfect off switch that combine to make him wonderful to live and work with.

Reese von Cluskey born 12/22/2024
A pupdate from fluffy Reese from the "R" litter!
"Reese is such a wonderful addition to our family.
He loves my little girl so much! They are constantly playing. He does great with other dogs and is so smart.

Obedience commands are so easy and natural for him. He does like to bark a fair bit but that’s just getting better and better as time goes on. We are in puppy classes right now and he’s knocking that out of the park!

He does great in the car. He’s already been on so many road trips, including a drive down to Louisiana and back.

He hasn’t been in a pool yet but he loves water and now that it’s warm, I’ll be getting him into the water soon.

Thank you so much! He’s very special and we love him so much.

Firro von Cluskey RN, ORT, NW1, SWN, SWA, SIE, SEE, SCE CGC, TKN born 9/5/2020
Firro and Mom had a great try at passing their NW2 this past weekend in Clancy, Montana. Although they ultimately came up one hide short of finding all hides for the day (in their first of two interior searches Firro got caught up in pooling odor and didn't follow it all the way to source) they had some absolutely beautiful runs and came away with a 2nd in exteriors and a 3rd in containers! I am so proud of this fantastic team and have loved being a part of their scent/nose work journey! This pooling odor problem has thwarted all of our group's dogs' efforts at some point and it is something we are going to make a very conscious effort to work on.

Echo von Cluskey born 5/16/2020
Today it's a pupdate from the "E" litter! Echo, aka Nitro, was originally going to be trained for hrd, but, as it sometimes does, time and life changes with his humans changed the plan, but it sounds like they are still keeping plenty busy!

"Nitro (E- litter)
I just imprinted him last week on two of the three nose work scents…I messed up and got the incorrect anise scent so that’s coming. It took a total of 3 days from the start to TFR and decreasing scent threshold to detailing searches.
I’m confident once I get him on anise next week we can get the ORT out of the way- of course the next one within reasonable distance to us isn’t until the end of August.

We restart bite work Tuesday…if I like the decoys I may pursue a PDC and possibly PSA 1 after that.

He is also great with my 9 month old, who has been crawling and adores him. Nitro is very good about just getting up and going to his bed on his own if he doesn’t want to deal with the baby, though we do make sure the baby respects his space. we enjoy him a lot….he’s a bit of a monkey but it keeps us entertained!"
Sire: Nico ze Zelene Uzlabiny, IPO1, AD, Cacib, HD/ED SV a-normal, HD-ZW77, DM and MDR1 clear

Rika von Cluskey born 12/22/2024
Got this pupdate from Rika this morning!
There are times when I go long stretches without hearing from any of my puppy families. As a breeder, my caring for and about my puppies doesn't end when they leave me for their new lives, I care about and love and want to hear about them and their accomplishments and adventures, no matter how old they are or how long it's been since I've heard from them! When I don't hear anything, which I don't from most of my buyers, I just have to hope that all is well and everyone is doing great. My 35 years in the horse business and life in general has taught me that human tendency is to reach out as soon as something is going wrong, so the fact that I don't hear a lot I try to tell myself means that all IS going well because I think I'd hear if it wasn't, but I do still wonder. So, when I get pupdates from 3 different pups over the space of 3 days, it is extremely fun and exciting! A huge thanks to everyone who does send pictures and updates--it's much appreciated!
"A little update on Rika, she's been going to baseball games and getting used to the noise and people and a ball she is not allowed to play with! She's been exploring the mountains, she is very sweet with the kids and their friends. She loves her ball, at first I thought she was going to be more food driven but I think the ball wins!"

Sako von Cluskey born 1/16/2025
Got this pupdate from Sako of our "S" litter yesterday!

"Sako update: he went on his first camping trip last weekend, hiked, and spent lots of time on the paddle board and in the water. He loves to swim and be with us wherever we go! He has tons of energy and loves to play. He is now 60 lbs and just continues to get bigger and bigger. We absolutely love our newest adventure buddy!

06/03/2025

Got this awesome pupdate from Onja and Fen and their super human Alexis this morning! Onja joined Alexis and Fen (onja's daughter pandeia von Cluskey from the "P" litter born 2/24/2024) earlier this year after being retired from my breeding program.

"Onja is doing great and settled in perfectly! We have been working on AKC scent work and tracking and will hopefully be competing by next year! She loves using her nose and is such a snuggly lady at home!

As for Miss Crazy Fen, she is the love of my life. She has recently earned her BCAT, CA, DS, SIN, and SCN titles. She loves training and working! When we are not training or working she loves hiking and playing with Onja (until Onja says enough). Fen has been invited to the NADD regionals! This is so exciting for us! She loved the dock and I think this will be such a fun opportunity. We're hoping to finish her overall scent work novic title by the end of year but there are not too many trials near us.

The three of us are going to travel and train a lot over the summer and i'm looking forward to it, the ladys are great travel and camping companions. They enjoy all our adventures and I couldn't have asked for better dogs."

NADD regionals for Fen's area will be held August 17. She will be competing in both distance and hydro dash! We will be cheering for her from afar and are looking forward to hearing more about this outstanding trios many adventures and accomplishments together!

Cian von Cluskey born 10/24/2018
Cian and I had a fantastic morning yesterday at the NACSW L1V (level 1 vehicles) element specialty trial over in Columbus, Montana. We passed all 4 vehicle searches and successfully earned our L1V certificate; 1 of only 10 teams out of the 38 teams trialing to do so. Cian worked great and was very confident in all her search behaviors and trained final responses which made me feel very confident in calling our alerts, all of which earned us yeses and no nos for the morning! Cian now has her level 1 interior, level 1 containers and level 1 vehicle certificates--we just need to find a level 1 exterior element specialty to enter to try to complete our entire level 1 elements! Very proud of my Cian girl and absolutely love training and trialing with her!

Neall von Cluskey born 3/29/2023
Please join us in sending out huge congratulations to Neall, now called Justice (how perfect a name is that for a police K9?), and Officer Halacy on their certifications and addition to the Rawlins Police Department! May they have many safe years together helping to make the world a cleaner, safer and ultimately better place. Go do great things, Justice, we are so proud of you and your accomplishments!

🚓🐾 Welcome K9 Justice to the Rawlins Police Department! 🐾🚓

The Rawlins Police Department is proud to announce the completion of 120 hours of intensive drug detection training by Officer Halacy and our newest K9 partner, Justice.

Justice and Officer Halacy were trained by Retired Carbon County Sheriff’s Office Lieutenant and Master Trainer/Evaluator Kyle Rosentreter, whose experience and dedication ensured the team was thoroughly prepared for their role in the field. Their completion and certification of the training represents the successful accomplishment of this foundational training phase. Ofc. Halacy and Justice achieved another milestone, obtaining the certification of the team through the United States Police Canine Association (USPCA) in narcotics detection.

The addition of Justice to our department was made possible through the incredible generosity of our community. Kyle and Cathy Rosentreter donated $2,000 toward Justice’s purchase and training. A&C Towing contributed $1,000, and Mike Lujan covered the remaining $1,000, bringing the total investment in Justice to $4,000.

Justice—originally named Neal von Cluskey—was purchased from Tonya McCluskey of Von Cluskey German Shepherds in Hamilton, Montana. After seeing a photo and video of the young pup’s drive and obedience, Rosentreter knew Justice had the potential to excel with the right training and handler.

Officer Halacy and Justice will continue to expand their skillset with advanced training in tracking and evidence searching, making them an even greater asset to the Rawlins community.

📸 Pictured: Officer Colton Halacy and K9 Justice proudly display their USPCA Narcotics Detection certification in front of the Rawlins Police Department K9 Unit vehicle.

Please join us in welcoming K9 Justice to Rawlins. We look forward to seeing this dynamic team hit the streets!
