Congratulations, Radik & Teri! Very proud of you!
12/31/24: “Just received Radik’s certificate. We’re heading out to do another therapy visit in a few minutes. He loves people fawning over him and also making people smile.”

Kaiser (PAM-B RACH Celhaus Romeo Stole My Heart UD BN GO RM3 RAE2 PT FDC DCAT SWE RATM CGC TKI) at 5 years 7 months
“Kai did a Triple Q in Rally today and got three perfect 100 scores for High Triple and High Combined!! Yesterday was his first try at Open B and Utility B on the same day (for a possible UDX leg). He didn’t pass one exercise each class, but he had very nice heeling and passed all the rest (including both articles!!). Overall he was an excellent boy this weekend. I can only hope he is in such a good place for rally Nationals!! We are going this year, finally. July 2-5 at Purina Farms in St. Louis.”
1/31/25: “These two got to barn hunt today! Kai got a 1st place and High in Class for his 4th leg towards his Rat Championship.”
Kaiser at 5 years 3 months
“The Pueblo show was a success. I made the trip down to qualify Kai for 2025 rally nationals since I found out they would be held at Purina Farms which is significantly closer than the last couple of years’ venue, and it was scheduled on a weekend I wasn’t working. Southern CO Kennel club show was the last mostly local show that hadn’t closed when I found out these details (qualifying period ends December). Hayley Stevens went down with me for the same reasons and we had lots of show success and a great time both at the show and checking out the local food establishments. Kaiser triple q’d all three days with 3 first places, 2 second places, 3 third places, two High Triples, and a High Combined as well as the needed scores to compete next July at Purina.”
Photo 5: “Belly rub invitation! He is so danged cute! At home he always sleeps on his own bed right by mine, but if he’s hurt, doesn’t feel well, or anytime we are away from home, he always sleeps with me. Competition is fun, but afterwards we all need a nap.”
Sadie (Celhaus Rhapsody in Black) at 5 years 8 months
(no photos)
2/12/25: “No agility training for Sadie at the moment, and she will miss our Feb trial. Gary is back to PT with a strained/pulled/tweaked quad muscle which radiates pain into his hip when it says…’that hurts’. We finally returned to our therapy visits this week, having missed last month due to us being sick with covid/the virus, weather being so bad, and the nursing homes cancelling activities due to the residents being so sick. So many of the folks have passed away since our time in Dec. It was a quieter visit. always…Gary, Jan, and special wags from happy tail Sadie…she is never crabby!!! Happiest pup ever…Cody was often annoyed with her behavior!!!”
Sadie at 4 years 5 months
(no photos)
(no photos) “Sadie is doing fine by the way….still working on her CDX title.”
Sadie at 3 years 3 months
“Sadie is non-stop, always ON, never tired, and look out if she does rest!!! And soooo friendly. Many have told us they do not like GSD, bad rep, bad experience, including some vets and vet techs. Except for Cody and Sadie, unlike another they have treated or met. Our Rehab vet actually had Cody for a test and it was taking a bit longer. She said the tech was hesitant to pull his blood work. The Rehab vet stayed and said it was ok…they ended up playing on the floor, getting kisses, etc. Sadie makes Cody look like a tired, crabby old guy. She loves her agility classes, and obed, too… again Gary too is learning. Often have said if he could’ve only done this more when he was YOUNGER and not so achy and sore. They all do exercises and warm-ups.”
Thought you’d enjoy seeing Sadie’s pic. She was high scoring GSD in Obedience at the Western PA GSD club’s trial. She did very well. Hasn’t received a score below 190; has her Beginner Novice title and is working on her Novice (CD) title this weekend. She’s an amiable companion; works hard and is full of energy. We’re not moving along as quickly in Agility since she likes to “run-her-own-course” 😉 I know, it’s all my fault that I didn’t show her where she should go. But we’re getting there.”
Ruger (Celhaus Ruger Wesley George) at 5 years 4 months
“We went for mountain therapy today. Ruger is so photogenic.”
Ruger (Celhaus Ruger Wesley George) at 5 years
““We celebrated Ruger’s birthday. He is doing great! We just love him so much.””
Rudi (Celhaus Rudolph) at 1 year 4 months
Name story: Rudolph, loosely translated, means well-known wolf.
Rudi is enjoying being “big brother” to Ava, from the SS litter.”
1st photo: watching the squirrels.
“Rudi and Ava are doing well. Ava is growing up quickly – physically and mentally. She’s such a pretty girl and is quite a thinker. She was a hit in her puppy class – again, had the instructor tell me she was impressed and had been telling the other instructors about her. She was great with the other puppies and just approaches everything with a calm confidence. Rudi tends to be the “goof” and Ava the watcher. They are well matched – she stands up for herself and they have a ton of fun playing. Rudi continues to be the perfect big brother!! As I write this, they are sharing the job of shredding a flossy bone – one on each end. ”
