JJ Litter
Quasi bred to Soleil (who was from the GG litter), whelped 12/20/15
Mr. Blue (Riker) went to southern Colorado for Search & Rescue; Mr. Green (Connor) stayed here in Sheridan to train for Search & Rescue; Mr. Sparkle (Ruger) went to Utah for Search & Rescue; Mr. Red (Charis) went to northern Colorado for obedience, herding, tracking and agility competition and to be a therapy dog. Miss Pink (Jamboree) stayed in Wyoming, is a service dog and is competing in agility and nosework. I kept Miss Purple (Celhaus Jubilee Year of Mercy) for breeding, nose work and agility competition.
12/20/25 Mercy’s Snowy Playtime: We had rain that turned to snow overnight and woke this morning to a gorgeous snow-covered world. I decided to take photos before the sun evaporated the sparkling flocking from the grass, fences and branches. Cloud cover was still pretty heavy from last night’s storm, but the lighting was good enough – and it was 25 degrees so I could work the camera, which I can’t do well if I have to wear gloves. I have to throw the ball with the ChuckIt, drop it, then then grab the camera and try to photograph before the ball holds the ground, which just can’t be done with gloves! Since it was Mercy’s 10th birthday, she got to play first.

Riker at 9 years 2 months
“We’ve been in the southwest for 3 months on a temporary work detail. This past weekend was our last before heading back to the Tetons. We explored more of the desert near Nageezi, NM. Found some amazing formations. Pups had a great time exploring a completely different environment. Riker always has to carry his Chuck-it ball with him. He loves that thing. He was having a blast bouncing it off the hardpack and chasing after it as it bounces off all the formations. His version of ping-pong. Riker is still keeping up on the adventures like he’s only 4 years old, not 9+. Still up for new adventures. These two love jumping in the car and going places.”
