Meet Milo.

I'd love to say that his easy-going nature is the product of many years of research, patience, and training. But it's not true. Sure, he has 12 years of training under his collar - the boy has done everything from farm work to agility competitions. But his calm, collected persona, his uuber awesomeness, is all him. He's just a cool dog.

He's modeled for Drs. Foster and Smith's catalog. He's been in advertisements for a cinema. He's been in the Newspaper and on camera and through all of it, he is just as laid back and very James Bond with his charm as can be. What a dog!

Meet Heidi. She is a sweet girl, and a real lady.

This is Decker. Decker is a solid powerhouse of a terrier; he runs, he plays, he annihilates stuffed toys in seconds. He is wonderful with little babies - both human and animal. He can hold his own with big or small dogs - and he teaches them a new move or two. He has also taught just about every dog he meets the joys of Squirrel Wars. It's a fight he has waged for years; he chases these fat, corn fed creatures up their tree and wildly follows from the ground as they hop from branch to branch. Our trees are planted close enough together that this game can take Decker all around the yard, several times. He loves it!

Zepol's roguish grin

Zepol. Zepol is fiercely loyal. He has appointed himself the job of Patrolman and he takes his job VERY seriously. His favorite pastime otherwise is sleeping. Not that he is lazy or spends most of the day under the covers - no, he is always on the move. But if you pick up a blanket, Zepol is your buddy - he will take a snooze just about any time of the day - as long as he's done his rounds outside, of course.

Escaped Lab Experiment
Case File: RUGBY

Rugby is a special case. She appeared to be mostly terrier in origin, however, upon further examination, her many extra qualities became rabidly apparent.

Rugby is a genetic quilt.

When she grew out of the clumsy puppy stage, and her legs coordinated, we nicknamed her "the Ninja". This girl can JUMP!
She has excellent hearing, and her ears 3/4-prick so she resembles a floppy-eared bat.
She steals like a Jackal.
She plays Lookout like a Meerkat.
She has an Alligator grip.
She has a Mongoose like aversion to reptiles.
She has the ability to chirp like a bird.
She has the energy of a thousand first graders. On a sugar-high.
She can glide like a Flying Squirrel.
She has developed spots that would perhaps act as camoflage in her natural environtment, if she had a natural environment.

And she LOVES. TO. PLAY. BALL!
