Last stacked shots for 2 pups

[NicoleLJ]

No problem. The only one being shown is Ajax. All others are being adopted out or donated on Spay/neuter contracts and Non - breeding CKC registration which we are filing and paying for to ensure it is done this way. So far Yellow is going to be a potential Service Dog, donated to the trainer to raise and train and then donate to a person in need after being neutered(which we are paying for) and finished his training.

Rainbow will hopefully be a therapy dog, which is the main plan of the family. PLus they want to join him up with Flyball and Agility as well if he shows an inclination for it. So he will be a busy boy.

Ajax we have big plans for. We will be showing him(hubby will) and training him for agility and flyball if he shows an interest in it. We will also be seeing is he has Service Dog potential which would be great because then when Sheena is in heat or not able to work he can step in and fill her shoes. There is no garentee though. We thought Luca would have been great also but washed him out because he was WAY to people friendly and would lose focus on me for attention else where. lol So we shall see.

Red will be trained in Flyball and Agility and any other activies the family wants to try him in.

Green is going to a home where he will be doing some herding on a hobby farm and taught to help out around the farm and in the house.

Dark Blue is going to be flying. Nope not kidding. He is going to a gentleman who loves to fly his own plane. He even bought him some Mutt Muffs to wear when flying. So he will be getting a lot of air time. lol

So that is the goals of each family with their pups.

Just wondering if you will be posting the updates the families send you so the Pet of the Day members can keep track of them and their accomplishments?

Where would you show Ajax? AKC and CKC have white as a disqualifying fault. if you were to put him in the ring you would be asked to leave (dismissed)

Give it a rest you are getting tiring.

I know you must have been dreading these days since day one, Nicole. Actually, it's bittersweet I guess. You did a great job raising these sweethearts! Look at those adorable faces. They don't look like Polar bears anymore lol.

Does UKC not accept them, last I checked.. they did.

Congrats on raising the pups, I know it's definitely sad when they leave. Whenever a foster goes(especially bottle babies) I swear not even Mother Theresa is good enough for them! But I know they definitely are going to great places from the sound of it. Good luck with Ajax!

Yup with the UKC you have a choice to show them as a White Shepherd(seperate breed) or as a GSD along since their colored counterparts. There are also rare breed shows where they can be shown and specialty shows by the AWSA and the WSCC where they can be shown. There are other wenues as well.

Thanks. I remember how hard it was with the foster pups. And I didn't get to pick the families a lot of the time. Most of the time it was the rescue that did the picking. I just handed over the pup so I never got to know the families like I do now. It is still so hard though.

You know....if I was looking at breeders and came onto a message board to find the breeder I was considering nosing into other people's threads and being rude I would definitely look elsewhere.

Nicole....With each of your posts I can tell how much you love these little ones and want the very best for them. I have no doubt that all of these boys will go far...in the show ring, as therapy dogs, in flyball, or as a beloved family pet. I do hope we get the occasional update from their fur-ever families, and I look forward to seeing Ajax grow up! Congrats on raising a great fur-family!

Thank you so much. I put my heart and soul into this litter and I have high hopes for them. They will let me know as they mature if I am on the right track for my dreams of breeding potential Service Dogs to donate. So I will be watching them closely. I purposely picked people who plan to stay in contact because I want to know every training problem, healthy problem and so on so I know where to improve. I of course want to know the good also. Hope I get way more good then bad reports. lol And I will defiantely keep you all updated. With them starting out on this forum I don't think I couldn't. lol

Nicole, please wish Yellow and his trainer much success in his career as a service dog. That is so wonderful. Rainbow Sherman - whether he succeeds as a therapy dog, agility, fly ball or all of the above - happiness and much success. Same to Red and his family. To Green and family, happiness and success as a herding dog and farm helper. Dark Blue - up, up and away! Maybe his pilot dad will send you pictures of him wearing his dog ear muffs. And Ajax -- who knows? It sounds like you've got a bright future planned for him. Congratulations yet again!! Could you give them all some petting for me, please. If their adopting families would keep you updated so you can keep us updated, I think that would be wonderful.

Thanks so much. Dark Blues dad had to agree to send pictures as soon as the Mutt Muffs fit. And he said no problem. I can't wait till they do. lol And I will definately post the pics of him with them on.

And when I get updates I will update you all as well. You have all been here through their pregnancy, birth and growth. So I imagine updates are mandatory. LOL Right?

They're all beautiful, Nicole. You've done such a great job with them - your new owners will be thrilled.
