Oreo - shelter Skidder - shelter Bandy - shelter Merlin - BYB came home one day and here he was my wife says that she just had to have this dog. Yes we had words. Bullet - A friends dog says he has the stupidest dog he has ever seen so he gave up on him. Turns out he is deaf. Guess who the stupid one was. Dewey - my house was the last stop before the shelter Willy- was at targets one day and a lady was out front trying to give him away saying that if she brought him home her husband was going to put him down (he has a bad paw) but Willy don’t know this. Just could not let this happen or think of who would end up with him. So off to the vet we went.

Dusty - friend, her grandfather did the breeding but then died and she 'inherited' the dogs

Pooch - stray, dropped off at my grandfather's barn

Chips- Was found running along an off ramp on the freeway. We saw him and pulled over. He ran right into the car. Tried to find his owners, but no one ever called on the ads or came by the shelter. I was going to place him, but found after a few weeks that I just couldnt.
Oliver- Purchased from a breeder as an obedience/show dog.
Gossip- I bred Gossip with the breeder that I bought Oliver from
Jack- Came to me because of relationship merging and of course, the kid has to come along too. He was purchased from a very well know, reputable breeder too
Gia- She is one of Gossip's puppies. I bred her
Haydees- Haydees is from one of the top breeders in the country. She was brought in to strengthen my foundation dogs and bring some things into my lines that I do not have.

Jasmine came from an ethical breeder, Miranda, Phelan, Kota, Mtzee, Dreamer and Caine all bred by us. Zion from a reputable breeder.

We normally have a shelter dog but after losing Frisco at 15 we have not gotten another. I just keep up our donations and fund raising for them. Although I wanted one we rescued the other day badly !! She is soooo darn cute she will have a new home in nothing flat. Sigh

Both of my girls are from shelters.

Extended Family:
parents' dogs:

Oreo: mother showed up very pregnant on a horsefarm's doorstep, she had the puppies and our vet helped place them
Gryffin: same shelter as Maggie

fiance's family dog, Lady (who may come live with us) came from a shelter originally but was being given away by a friend of his mom's, so she took her.

Honor was from a reputable breeder. DH and I are looking into rescues/shelters for our next dog, though.

Cheyanne came from a irresponsible person who didnt get his dalmatian fixed like he should have.

Lillie, Kujo, and Jayde came from backyard breeders I guess that's what you call them. Jayde's litter was planned so the owner could get a few working dogs out of them then sold the rest.

Ginger is from a reputable breeder but was born with one eye so no show ring future for her.

Felix was born at the old house from a neighbors cat.

Silk was born a mile down the road from another neighbor.I had to have her. Her fur is silky hence the name.
