A very young 5.5 month old female of Vald

(owner update 11/19/24) “Amanda” has just passed her TD & TDU certification track in Illinois at the very young age of just turning 7 months!!
Everyone who watches her track loves this young dog. Remarking on her incredible focus and work ethic. We love this female so much, she is a joy and looking forward to much training and titling fun in the years to come.
Young son of Vlad in SAR pre-train

(fall 2022 update) He is very good at trailing. He loves the "game." An amazing dog... very smart, lots of energy, but will just chill out when not working. He's got the perfect temperament. He loves people and dogs. Only barks when he hears something strange at night. I can't say enough good things about this guy...I love him!!! (Spring 2022 update) Hi Ramona, He is a wonderful dog - super smart and super head strong! He is the star of his obedience class 😊 In trailing he has moved past the puppy runaways and is now working on a harness and 25' lead. He loves the game and is very food motivated. Thank you again for such a great dog! Julie
A young daughter of Vlad

Hi Ramona, She's been enjoying NASDA nose work classes, we're picking back up on agility in the new year, she's been a healthy, happy girl. Getting her has been the best decision I've made in a long time. I hope all is well. Garret

Hello Ramona, Hope this message finds you well. Siri is progressing well. Earlier this summer he passed his first trailing test with SARDUS here in Colorado, and he has another test coming soon. He is routinely successfully doing 24 hr aged trails around a mile long, so we have every expectation he will do well in the coming test He is very high drive when working.
