Greatly Missed
Achielles --- Achielles was the "old man" of the group. Achielles was a German Shepherd Dog and was almost 13 years old. Jessi adopted him from the Rolla Animal Shelter when he was a 4 or 5 month old puppy. Believe it or not, the pound had him listed as a Shepherd/Lab mix! Anyone who has seen him knows he was a purebred GSD. Achielles was the start of Jessi's obedience show career. Achielles has his CD, CDX, UD, BH, OB1 and CGC. He also had one leg towards his Rally Obedience title. He consistantly achieved high scores, seldom was he not in the ribbons, usually placing first or second. He was truely an amazing dog. Click on his name for more pictures. I let him go after the vet's had done everything they could but he wasn't getting better. He had congestive heart failure, not uncommon at his age, and drugs were not helping. Rather than have him suffer and deteriorate further, losing his dignity, I let him go at 12:30pm on September 19, 2007. I will never forget him. He was my once-in-a-lifetime dog. Luv ya bud.

He achieved his AKC CD title and two Rally Novice (RN) legs (never got around to showing him for that last leg before he passed) as well as the CGC. Axel had been a challenge but a pleasure to work with. His coloring scared many people, but he was truely a teddy bear and sweet heart to his core. He is sorely missed by all who knew him.
Ghost --- Ghost passed away November 12, 2006. Ghost was a Great Pyreneese and she lived to about 13 years old. She was the start of Jessi's dog training interests. Ghost was rescued from a "breeder" who had two 9 month old females left, but couldn't get rid of them and had decided to shoot them. Jessi found out about them and took both girls, found a home for one and kept one. Their life had been nothing but living in a barn and were lucky to have been remembered once in a while to have food tossed in to them. They never left the barn and were in bad shape and extremely skinny. Through training, Ghost got over her shyness and fears. Ghost was typical of the Great Pyreneese breed, very intelligent but very independant. She earned one leg towards her CD before Jessi decided that showing just wasn't what Ghost wanted to do. She does have her CGC and has been in some of the Rolla parades in the past with Happy K-9's. Ghost was the beginning and will always be thanked for her lessons she taught to not only dogs, but Jessi too.
