The Outlaw Gang
Many dogs have shared their lives with us over
the years. Some came to stay and some were just guests passing through
our lives. No matter what type of visitor, we have learned from
all of them and enjoyed sharing time with them. |

| Bandit belongs to our friend Beth. In the realm of be careful what you wish for, Beth had been talking about how much she liked Corgi's and within two days one was being walked past our house that needed a new home. Long story short, Bandit has a new home. | |

| Bear came to us via some folks that knew we had Labradors. He and his litter mates were found on a screened in porch in northern Minnesota. Bear has had lots of media exposure including being the only Hanukkah Hound in the Star Tribune Holiday Pet Spread. | |
| Int'l CH PR Mystic
Banshee, CGC A happy, demanding and sneaky dog with an opposable
nose gave him access to everywhere. His offspring have been excellent
show and working dogs and have produced wonderful examples of Chinook
dogs. Banshee's Pedigree |
|
| RR Honcho's Black Phantom, CD, CGC, TDI was a great companion and taught many people about dogs being able to sense seizures in people before they occur. He and his travel companion Moses got lots of television and print time for these abilities that are more accepted now, almost 15 years later. It is heart warming to look back at all the letters from schools, group homes, long term care facilities, hospice facilities as well as doctors, medical schools and such seeing how much this dog touched people's lives. | |

Hoppa spent a
great deal of her life working with developmentally delayed adults in a
home setting. This is another dog that showed people the value of the
human canine bond. Not only did she share love unconditionally, she
also shared a sense of spirit and dedication that surpassed her own
health issues. |
| Moses Malone, CGC,
TDI was another second chance dog. He was being put in a crate to
be taken and put to sleep when I saw him at a training center. I asked
about his history and why he was destined to be destroyed. Apparently
the people who lived with him thought he was violent and dangerous to
blonde women and all children. Not too unexpectedly, it was the people
with the problem, not the dog. I ended up taking him back to Minnesota
with me where he was a fantastic demo dog for Seizure Alert Dogs,
Assistance Dogs and general dog learning opportunities. |
|
| Toten, CGC came to us in a strange way. Another "short list" for being put to sleep. This dog had been badly abused by some unknown moron in North Dakota. I was living there while in school and happened upon an animal shelter when driving back from visiting friends in northern Minnesota. There he was, full grown and about 43-pounds. Not a pretty picture. The people at the shelter said that their kennel help were uncomfortable with this dog and that he was unpredictable. Again, not a bad dog, but a dog from bad circumstances. | |
| Rascal was
another stray that came to stay. An over the road truck driver had her
in his cab and when he got to Minneapolis, dumped her in the parking
lot at a moving company. It was her lucky day as my father picked her
up and brought her home. |
