"Darwin"

Darwin (Ninebark Natural Selection, CGN) is from Jackpot's first litter, brother to our Hustle and from the first litter I'd helped whelp. I can clearly remember Darwin's first minutes and his sense of adventure at only hours old. Darwin had the best home a puppy could ask for with Milena and Jim and we were fortunate enough to visit with Darwin several times as a young puppy. He was a happy and smart boy who loved life! His life was tragically cut short in a terrible accident. Our hearts will forever ache for Milena and Jim and for the loss of such a wonderful young boy.

"Heist"

Heist was a beautiful black bi girl in the Jackpot x Fergie litter who sadly never took a breath. Heist was lovingly buried with one of the Best of Breed ribbons that her Daddy won the weekend she was conceived. She now overlooks our back pasture and we hope her spirit walks with us every day. It was and still is a hard loss for us. She will always remain in our hearts. We named her Heist because she stole my heart!

"Shadow"

Shadow was Mike's Border Collie cross that to this day every dog we have gets compared to. Shadow was a big part of Mike's life as a young adult. Her constant companionship, intelligence and love will be missed. Her personality was part of what led us to the Australian Shepherd.
