Tina's Additional
Comments:
This
boy has personality PLUS!! He is also a real talker,
with an extremely strong desire to communicate his emotions at
all times. His new owner will have to focus on providing
him with a variety of stimulating tasks, to prevent boredom -
resulting in mischief ;(
Structurally he is a perfect Apache Joe- Captain clone!
He has Joe's personality & structure, with Captains
markings & size! As if someone morphed those two
dogs to create this special boy!!
Is he perfect? No, I would like to see just a "tad"
more reach in his movement, and I would make his ears just a
"tad" smaller (more like his brother's) and I would
darken his muzzle, just a "tad" and then he would
certainly be a perfect representative of our breed ...
Nevertheless since nothing in this world (except God) is
perfect, this guy sure comes as close as you can get ;-)

Tina's Additional Comments:
This
boy will be even bigger then his brother with more bone and,
the greatly sought after, perfectly shaped ears!! If I
could change anything at all on this one, I would add just a
"tad" bit more leg to give him that "flying
trot" capability, and darken his muzzle.
Otherwise, this guy will certainly look (especially his head)
like a Captain clone!!
Although he tested out as "medium-hard' due to his
"tough guy" attitude, he is a lot more "laid
back" then his mischievous brother. Bogie would
rather take a nap, then look for some new adventure, yet if he
is awakened just right ... he is off and running!
I
just can't wait to see these boys in the show ring, I know
they will turn heads wherever they go!!! |

Tina's Additional Comments:
This is a beautiful girl that will make a wonderful pet for
someone that is able to spend a lot of time with her.
She is not as adventurous as her littermates, and will need
more patience in training, but she is a very willing worker
- if she understands what she should be doing. She
will not be a good SAR prospect, because she prefers to be
with her human at all times.
If shown she will certainly turn many heads, even though she
has minor "faults" that may prevent her from big
wins, but certainly will not hold her back if shown against
other "faulty" competitors. Her huge size
and general appearance alone will demand attention
wherever she goes. With some basic training, she will
certainly be an excellent ambassador for our breed, as well
as a great therapy dog prospect!

Tina's Additional Comments:
The "Brain" with a true "Ria" head &
perfect ears!! This girl seems to have it all!! She is
certainly a thinker, with a slight streak of independence
that was very evident when Karen tried to get her into a
flying trot. As she went one way, then the other, then
back again .. yellow girl quickly realized that the
poor women had no idea of where she wanted to go .. so she
just sat down & waited for Karen to "make up"
her mind!!! You could almost see those wheels (between her
ears) turning. In the maze, she looked around,
analyzed her situation, and quickly went through it like she
had been doing it all of her life! A very interesting
attitude!! Will she be a good worker? Of course
... when she WANTS to be! If she thinks that her
humans do not know what they want, or are asking something
foolish ... well, that's another story ;-)

Tina's Additional Comments:
This girl is an extremely "happy-happy" worker,
as long as she has a purpose in life. If left to her own
devices, she could easily keep her owners entertained LOL with
her slight streak of ingenuity! When the tester was
finished with the ball she placed it behind the tree &
took the tug, but our "firecracker" wasn't finished
playing ball yet ... so when she saw the tug was being
presented, she chose to run out to the tree & picked up
the ball instead! At that point the tester called her,
and she immediately returned the ball (that went into the
tester's pocket this time) but she refused to loose focus on
it. The other tester then tried to introduce the tug,
but now our girl saw those great boots & decided that they
would be a lot more fun!!
In conclusion; this girl certainly has one heck of a
personality!!

Tina's Comments on the Litter: I
know that wherever these girls go, they will make us all proud!
The
overall size, bone, and confident- outgoing temperaments - not to mention
beautiful heads - make this a truly exception litter ;-)
