QQ Litter (Mercy bred to Cantor)
Whelped 3/7/19: 6 females & 2 males
Miss Orange (Envy) went to Utah for Search & Rescue; Mr. Blue (Olaf) went to Durango, CO for Search & Rescue and to do therapy dog work with veterans; Mr. Purple (Cash) went to Minnesota for agility, nosework and obedience competition; and Miss White (Ranger) went to Denver for possible competition and therapy dog work. Miss Yellow (Neutron) went to Idaho Falls for all kinds of competition: agility, obedience, tracking, scent work and possibly barn hunt. Miss Green (Maya) and Miss Pink (Hilti) went to Colorado as pets. Miss Red (Quizz) went to my good friend, Laurie Schwabauer, to be trained as a service dog. No one qualified to take her when she was ready, so we placed her in a great home where she will compete in agility and other venues as well as be a therapy dog and, hopefully, be part of the Underdog program if/when it is approved statewide. Those are the dogs who go with children when they have to testify in court, to comfort them and give them confidence.

The UU litter, whelped January 27, 2021, is a repeat of this litter.
Maya (Celhaus Querida Maya) at 5 years 8 months
“My elderly parents moved in with us this summer so that we can help take care of them. Maya has been great with them, and they love her. My mom is afraid of big dogs and never could imagine how friendly a GSD like Maya could be. They are best buds now. Kinda cool.”
Photo 3: “Took Maya on a nice three-mile walk today. Weather here in Denver was mid-50’s and sunny.”
Maya at 5 years 7 months
Photos 1-2: “The Halloween costume was Jennifer’s. The teachers dressed up as ‘Super Hero Teachers. Then she put the costume on Maya.”
Photos 3-4″ “Remember Jack Nicholson in the 1980 movie ‘The Shining,’ based on Stephen King’s novel?”
Cash (Celhaus Quiggley) at 5 years 10 months
“Happy Thanksgiving. Here is Cash relaxing after our ball sessions this morning. We’re finally getting cold weather, so Cash is happy.“
Quizz (Celhaus Question Me Or Not) at 5 years 5 months
“At County 4H Fair, Quizz scored 195 points out of 200 in Novice Obedience. She scored 99 out of 100 points in Senior with Pre-Advanced Rally. We’re going to Casper in a couple of weeks for the AKC trial. Hoping to have the same performance there. Then they go to State Fair in mid-August.”
Olaf (Celhaus Quasi Prince Olaf) at 4 years 7 months
“We got our therapy dog certification from Southwest Canine Core Volunteers (SCCV). They have been really picky and helpful. Great bunch of ladies. Oli loves them! We did the VA Hospital and Hospice Saturday on Veteran’ Day. We are going to Presbyterian Hospital Thursday.”
Olaf at 4 years 5 months
“Thought I’d send you an update on Oli. He has passed the evaluations for the SCCV (Southwest Canine Core Volunteers) group and starts his clinical training next week. We will be at a Beehive facility in Albuquerque. He loves the work and the trainers put him through the ringer two weeks ago in his final evaluation. We passed with a 52 out of 55 possible points.”
Ranger (Celhaus Queen Ranger) at 4 years
“Ranger is doing great! We moved recently from downtown Denver to the suburbs of Denver in Lakewood, CO. After COVID, Matt and I each only have to go into the office once a week, so it was time to get out of the city. Ranger now has a big yard for her to chase the ball in and we can walk to the hiking trails from the house — she’s in doggy heaven! She’s taken up bringing balls to the sliding door that connects to the kitchen and the backyard and throwing them at the sliding door to let us know she wants a ball session. It’s hilarious. She’s been doing well — we can’t believe she’s already four, although if you asked her she’s still two in her heart. We taught Ranger a new trick — spin — and it’s been funny to watch her offer it randomly to try to get some treats.”
