Thanks guys, to be honest it wasn't a hard decision; I just knew it had to be done. My boss (at the time) came with me, and though she wasn't sure it was the right decision, she trusted my instincts. She told me afterwards that she agreed with my decision when we walked through the door and sat down, and he just continued to lunge at everyone who walked by. I'd never seen anything like it. He was the dog that loved other dogs more than any dog I ever knew, and when I got him back he just tried to kill everything. He had become food aggressive (which he was anything BUT before, he would have gladly shared his food), dog aggressive (which was the complete opposite of him when I had him -- he loved other dogs), people aggressive... I just couldn't believe what had happened to him, it was unbelievable.

Yes I'm very happy with Kira. Her owner told me yesterday that she plans to get her first tracking certification at the end of the year, and is hoping to get her PT in herding before the herding specialty next year.
I'm definatly going to show Tandem. He is absolutely gorgeous, I couldn't have asked for anything better. He's got Visa's structure to a T but with a deeper chest, which is exactly what I was hoping for. Visa's structure is (not biased) perfect except for her one fault -- she has a very shallow chest -- not just a bit -- it's bad lol. Atleast it doesn't cause her elbows to turn in and out so it doesn't bother me as it doesn't affect her movement, but I chose a male with a nice deep chest to hopefully improve upon her's, and it worked. Neither pups' chest quite reaches the elbow, but there's such a small space inbetween it will go unnoticed. Tandem also has a much nicer head and earset than Visa. Honestly not sure where his head and earset came from -- it's very much beyond his lines -- but I am happy!! lol. He's going to be such a nice boy. I'm hoping he will influence the breed quite bit, as we have such a small gene pool, and nobody uses these lines anymore.
