Geddy spent the weekend at the Leonberger Club Of Texas Performance trial in Conroe where he picked up a 1st place Q in Master HD. On a whim Barb and Geddy participated in and picked up his FETCH! Retriever title!!

Then Barb had a sneaky surprise for me. Geddy and novice stock handler, Allison Burleson, are starting stock lessons together. Geddy had an instinct test as a teenager but hasn’t seen livestock since. Today was his second time on any type of livestock and I think he and Allison will do so well as a team! I am over the top excited about this newest adventure with Geddy!

I am reposting this again out of necessity and with some edits:

While we do stand our dogs on a limited basis at stud we require the following

FIRST

1) Know my dogs because if you don’t know who they are, their names, or anything about them, it is clear that your breeding plans have not been well thought out.

2) Health clearances. A compatible DNA panel to the boys, OFA hips *and* elbows or the equivilant in a foreign country. CAER eye clearance. Disclosure of any health, color or temperament issues in immediate relatives (grandparents, sire, dam, siblings) that might impact the outcome of the breeding,

3) A complete five generation pedigree and the ability to discuss the strengths and weaknesses.

4) A correct temperament

5) Correct structure.

6) Correct color to the breed standards

7) Titles in a major organization (AKC, ASCA, FCI, Canada) Performance titles or conformation.

8 ) Brucellocis testing within 30 days of the breeding.

9) A video of puppy evaluations at 7-8 weeks and photos of each puppy at eight weeks.

10) A list of buyers and that the bitch owner provide our contact info with the puppy owners so that any important information or developments may be shared. We can not make educated decisions about our boys without communication.

11) All owners of the girl must be in good standing with ALL registries.

12) Have a well thought out goal other than simply producing “nice” puppies and be able to intelligently discuss that goal and how my dogs and their pedigrees help you achieve that.

And this last point is just an etiquette pointer: it is disrespectful to come to me to shop for other people’s stud dogs - go directly to that owner, ask them your questions.

It only took three attempts, multiple emails and a few proactive BOD members to get a correct version of this kennel Hall of Fame certificate to me.

I am thankful to Heidi Mobley, Jillian Ward, and Susan Byrne for their assistance and for following through.
