October 2026 NEWS!
SO MUCH NEWS!!!
Wow! So much going on already this fall!!
September 26th & 27th, our IGP club The Sirius Working Dog Association hosted our somewhat annual trial.
Top row from left to right, Nevr von der Leidenschaft achieved her IGP3. The scores give us much to work towards, but it’s honestly my FIRST IGP3, and achieving it with my Handler Bred Owned and Titled girl is extra special. She had a beautiful Tracking score of 90, squeaked Obedience with a 71, and with too much handler help, her courage and grips still got us a 74.
Smiling proudly with her FPr3 medallion, Fyokla vom Gleinalmblick (Flirt) scored a convincing 80 points in Tracking.
And to her right, her goofy son Rommel von der Leidenschaft achieved his BH title. Rommel has been looking for his forever home for more than a year, so Ron decided to train him while he was still with us. That work turned into the intro IGP title!
As is customary, we took a week off from training to regroup from all the excitement.
AHA! Flirt had other ideas. She decided a week after trial was the perfect time to come into heat! So off we go to Ontario, to meet a boy from Nebraska!!! We had as long as it took to get a tie, it didn’t take long, then Axel and Bruce headed South, and Flirt and I headed East. Zoom zoom!!! PEDIGREE HERE A quick snap of the happy Daddy-to-be before we parted company! 😉
The final photo is of 3 year old Qira, who was returned to us because her owner became ill and was having ongoing mobility issues. She was hard to photograph, having the post grooming zoomies!
October 11, 2026, our first day back to training. Our friends and club members returned from their chaotic summer. I had decided I may as well start doing formal training with Qira while she was with us. I didn’t even get the chance, after spending the day with her, they swooped her up on Thanksgiving morning.
Rommel on the other hand went home with another club member on the Sunday to continue his journey in the sport.
Super excited for these dogs and their new packs. So we are back with our original 3, until (we hope) December 10th, when the T-litter is due!
The T-litter Due December 10th, 2026
Anyone interested in this litter is welcome to submit a Potential Puppy Owner Questionnaire! This combination will produce high drive working and sport prospects. We match temperament and drive carefully to new owners. Companion puppies may not be available. Stay Tuned. 🙂
Canadian Buyers:
If you place a deposit with us and YOU back out, you lose your deposit. If you place a deposit with us, and we’re not able to select a suitable puppy (REGARDLESS if we have puppies available, REMEMBER we match our homes based on temperament and drive) you can choose to wait for the next litter, or we WILL REFUND your deposit in full.
American Buyers:
Due to the US import regulations not allowing puppies into YOUR country until age 6 months, and due to the incredibly taxing demands on our time, (correctly socializing, house training, crate training, confidence building, manners, etc) we will NOT hold any puppies to go to the US.
We will however consider selling to a US buyer if they/we can find a trusted foster home for the additional four month wait time.
Please understand this is a really hard decision for us, but based on our experience from 2024 it’s the only one we can make.
