Dogs Past and Present

This was Bear-dog. Bear was the dog of my children's youth.  He was part chow and part lab.  He wasn't the smartest dog, but he was the protector of my kids.  He lived to be 17 years old, we finally had to put him down, due to cancer.

This was Rudolph Valentino.  She was not a he.  She was part Aussie and part Border Collie.  I called her Rude Bitch, Rudy.  She was extremly smart, very easy to train, and very much a lover dog.  She was also very dominant, with the other two I had at the time.

The Iceman Cometh.  Full name Cinnamon Iceman.  Ice came from his ice blue eyes.  He was a rescue from a breeder.  He was a DEAFIE.  He was also one of my heart dogs.  This boy was very smart.  Deaf dogs can be trained just as well if not better than hearing dogs.  Iceman, took third place in showing with my nephew in 4-h.  He was the only deafie in the group.  

This goofball is my heart dog at the present time.  His name is Domino Archer Rhydian.  He is a minimal blue merle Australian shepherd.   I purchased him from a breeder in the expectation of turning him to my hearing service dog.  He is not completely trained yet, but he does his job well, in announcing something isn't right or someone is at the door.  He also does well with smoke alarms, and lets me know the moment something is burning in the house.

This is Dandelion Allain, she is my current soul dog.  Yes she is a yellow Aussie.  She is a big dork.  She is called Dandy.  She is also very smart, but in a completely different way than Domino.
