UU litter pedigree
Mr. Blue (now “Radar”) & Miss Pink (now “Jazz”) went to Gillette, WY, to be trained for police work).  Neither excelled at that.  Radar ended up being a personal protection dog, while Jazz is a pet in Utah.  Miss Yellow (now “Nisa”) went to Portland to do agility.  Miss Purple (now “Beadie”) went to Colorado to do agility and nosework.  Mr. Green (now “Marshal”) and Mr. White (now “Cody”) went to Colorado to be pets.  Mr. Red (now “Ursa”) went to SW Wyoming to compete in nosework and be a pet.

Beadie (Celhaus Ultimav Udo) at 4 years 10 months
“A thousand apologies for the years of no communication! Life got a little crazy! Starting up a new business and construction on the house. Anyway – I wanted to drop a line and some pictures of my sweet Beadie.  Beadie continues to be a very opinionated dog, often trying to dictate where we walk around the neighborhood – which is usually to check out a yard where she knows there is another dog. She will eventually correct when I stop and have her sit, but she never stops trying. After a few trials at a luring course with her black lab friend, we figured out Beadie was way more interested in herding her lab friend who was chasing the lure than following the lure, which we did run for her solo. The gentleman who owns the course let out his 5 GSDs to play with Beadie and she was SO taken back at the amount of activity. It was fun to watch!  We have continued nosework training using some of the training items we got from you, but it has become clear to me that she very much just wants to be a pet, which is perfectly fine with me! She is by my side daily as I work from home. We go on adventures, have play dates with other dogs, and she absolutely loves her splash pad in the summer where she presses on the device, hooked to a hose, which dispatches a splash of water that she attempts to bite. She will end up picking the device up and running around the yard with it. Everyone who interacts with Beadie always comments on her sweet and enthusiastic disposition. Loads of compliments on her beauty, which I always respond to with a “Thank You”, even though I had nothing to do with her physical outcome!  I had a pool put in the backyard last year, and I have tried to get Beadie to come in and swim, but the stairs give her pause. Instead, she watches the neighborhood kids like a hawk when they are in the pool, so we are seeing her herding younger kiddos for safety.  I joke to friends that Beadie likes to dominate water (as in biting the splashes from the splash pad) versus swimming in it. She absolutely loves children and goes running outside to play with the girls next door.  I have attached a few pictures for you in the past year, and a video from November, just showing how chatty we are with each other. The photo near the window was taken 1/25/26 on her 5th birthday. Time has just flown!”

 

Jazz (Celhaus Unlimited Jasmine CGC) at 5 years
Jazz and I celebrated her birthday  She had rice cakes, and plain yogurt. She really loves it.  Then we went for a walk and played ball.


Jazz at 4 years 8 months
“Just wanted to give you an update on Jazzie.  She has been working very hard, and has accomplished her AKC Good Citizenship title.”

 

Ursa (Celhaus Ursa Minor) at 5 years with his sister, Zinna (Celhaus Zinnia Elegans), 2 years 7 months
Ursa lives with his sister, Zinnia, from the ZZ litter.
“I actually remember to snap a couple pictures this weekend, and one of them turned out nice.  Crazy weather for February 7th and it was 60 degrees!”


Ursa at 4 years 6 months
“Reporting from Leadville after our NACSW trial.  Ursa was in NW3 and we had two errors in six searches but did finish third in the exterior element.  They just do one level per day. NW3 was 34 teams x 6 searches each.  It flows really well with two judges, an experienced host team and about dozen volunteers.”

Ursa at 4 years 4 months
“Ursa and I earned the Elite Nosework title at the Utah UKC Club’s spring trial.”

Ursa at 4 years 2 months
“We just finished up the NACSW NW3 trial in Laramie. We achieved our first NW3 title so a proud handler day.  This is a cute snapshot from today as we were getting ready to go to our 6th search of the day.  He is usually in the kennel in the back, but we let him relax here since we were going to the search shortly.”

Marshal at 4 years 9 months
“The dogs had their first professional photo shoot with me a week and half ago. They rocked it! We have LOTS of amazing shots.  There were two photographers, they’re both friends of mine. I had taken each dog separately, as the photo shoot location was five minutes away from my house. Both photographers told me at the end of the shoot that they aren’t comfortable with big dogs, and one of them actually has a fear of German Shepherds. And they both said that dealing with my dogs was amazing, and that after being around my dogs they were now over their discomfort and fear. The dogs and I also showed off a bunch of our tricks and they were highly impressed, not just with the tricks and the way the dogs acted in the actual photo shoot segments, but with their overall disposition. So it was a really wonderful experience in many ways.”

 

Nisa (Celhaus Unstoppable Nisa) at 4 years 
“Nisa’s birthday walk today.  She’s doing great today – missing Pria, and Pria is missing her but is adjusting to college well.”


Nisa at 3 years 2 months
“Nisa says, ‘Let’s do something!’ We were in a park and she was trying to figure out why we weren’t playing.”
 

 

Cody (Celhaus Uncharted Life Adventures CGC) at 4 years
“Four years and Cody has finally gotten Pearl to do the “lay on back for belly rub” pose.  Cody was requesting a lot of belly rubs this morning and how can you refuse when he does that….  Carson is getting a little arthritic in his back (and gained ten extra pounds) so we are all exercising more to get back into better weight.  Wicked cold this week so we won’t be out for long periods of time.”


5/20/24:  “Cody loves to be outside.  I was watching all three run around the yard a few days ago.  Cody has given up three turtles when asked (no snapping turtles in area so far but they may be around locally…).  I relocated the turtles far away from the yard to keep everyone calm.  A small bunny has taken residence under the little kids house outside the fenced area.  Few nights ago, the bunny was in the fenced area when we went out and all dogs went into frenzied search mode.  Suddenly, something between the dogs and I super-sprinted past me and out of the fenced area. It was the baby bunny…”

Radar (Celhaus United We Stand) at 2 years 2 months
