“We had a professional photographer contact us and take pictures (for free!!) and build a calendar for us as a fund raiser for our SAR dog group. I thought you would enjoy this one of Sabre, as it is my favorite. He is also on the cover of the calendar (a different photo). Sabre strongly passed his Cadaver 1 certification in October. We are planning for our Cad 2 certification next spring, and will go for our Level 1 tracking /trailing then as well. He continues to work hard and challenge me with his busy nature! He is brave, confident, yet highly social to both people and other dogs. He remains intense, always wanting to do the job right and focus’s intently when he observes something new (watching Craig skin and trim his deer, watching Gator do something, watching the horses, learninga new trick or activity, etc)…He is always with me, happy, and likes to be in contact. He adores Gator, and they play frequently, although extremely competitive with work. He weighs 75 pounds, and aside from filling out more, I think he is done growing. He gets compliments wherever we go, always. Some of my SAR folks keep trying to steal him – I have to keep a close eye on them!! Wishing you all a Happy Holiday season!

Bonnie, Sabre and Gator too”
