Gator boomeranged back to Salishan (Lois Clough) after his owner decided the destruction of their couch was the final straw in a long list of terrier misadventures.  Lois decided that I really needed to see this terrier, who we both had decided was pet quality at 8 weeks of age.  One look at this "overweight bundle of happy" and you could see the incredible terrier beneath all that hair and poundage.  In his first trial, Gator was Reserve Best Dog Pup.  The first time out in the field, he earned his NHC to groundhog.  And in 2005's first show of the year in California, Gator was Reserve Working Terrier Champion (both days).

Gator has inherited his father's movement, beautiful head and bone, and working ability, as well as his happy outlook on life.  Thank you Lois!

Sweetgrass TJ

Sire: T-Bone Well Done		Height: 12 1/4"
Dam:  Rancho Fiasco Kaddy		Coat: Tan/whi lightly-broken and harsh
		Date of Birth: 04/08/09
		PLL Status: Clear

Introducing Sweetgrass TJ, who has some very big paws to fill. TJ is the cross that we've waited to do for a very long time. Since Briarpatch Temper is no longer viable, we needed a replacement. The old man has produced some fantastic working, show, and companion terriers for us and we'd like to continue that. "TJ" is by a Temper grandson, out of a Temper daughter, but he looks like his great granddad, Maven's Tailor, one of the most incredible terriers ever and one of the foundation sires for the JRTCA. TJ will be started in the field this summer and we hope he fulfills every expectation.

Zac's Pack Shaman

Sire: DayDream Quest		Height: 12 1/2"
Dam:  The Hollow Miss Bianca		Coat:  Blk/Whi Rough
		Date of Birth: 10/27/07
		PLL Status: Normal

"Shane" comes to us from Shelley Taylor in Oklahoma. This terrier caught my eye as a young pup and I begged Shelley to sell him to me, but she wouldn't. Time passed, circumstances changed and Shelley thought of me when it was necessary for her to downsize. The Rainier Hunt Classic was Shane's first trial and he was Reserve Open Dog under Terri Batzer. I will be getting him out in the field this fall and hope to have him join the working ranks. Thank you so much, Shelley, for entrusting him to me. We hope to make you proud!

Rancho Fiasco Tirade

Sire: Briarpatch Temper		Height: 14"
Dam:  Rancho Fiasco Knotty		Coat: Tan/Whi Rough Coat
Earned: NHC to Opossum		Date of Birth: 03/05/07
		PLL Status: Carrier

"Tirade" is the last son of Temper and a full brother to Rancho Fiasco Kaddy (Bronze Medallion). He came to us by way of Joy Krietemeyer, who understood the connection with Temper and me being able to carry on his bloodlines. Tirade was picked up in October of 2009 on our way to Nationals in Maryland. His first time in the field was on that trip and he earned his first Natural Hunting Certificate to Opossum. He has also hunted nutria and raccoon successfully. I have no doubt he's going to follow in his sister's and father's footsteps and earn his bronze.
