UKC CH. (US) Kimmelot's Thunder God

Hi Dawn,

Just wanted to send you a updated picture of our Maverick. He is a Soda/Boomer baby. He'll be one in Feb. 2008. He's a GREAT dog and we LOVE him a lot!

Connie

Thanks, Dawn. Susan's calling her right now to get the details. We are so excited!! Solomon is our pride and joy. Everyone comments on his beauty and size. He really is a presence, and so loving at the same time. We couldn't have asked for a better companion and friend.

You have all done such a wonderful job at Kimmelot!

Charmagne and I are doing just fine she was 8 in July and is still as beautiful as ever. She is still the most beautiful and loving dog I have ever had the pleasure of living with.

I just went on your site. There is no mistaking where Charmagne came from. There is a couple on there that are her double. You sure breed beautiful dogs Dawn. I don’t like to think about it but when the time comes for me to get another dog I will be getting one from you.

I just wanted to send an email out to you to sat a huge Thank  you  once again for taking Sascha in exchange for Yokon. He is Perfect, we all love him. He is sweet, smart, funny, protective, everything I ever wanted in a dog. He fits rights in with us, sleeps in the bed and just instantly became one of the family.

I can never thank you enough for helping us the way you have, the stress that was lifted when Sascha left and evertything else that Yukon has brought with him was a breath of fresh air.

Please let the family who gave him up know that we love him and are taking the best care of him.
Thanks again,
 
Denise

Breeders note:  Sascha was another breeders higher drive female, who we re homed to a family who wanted more activity/ protection.  This family wanted the typical calm natured Kimmelot dog.

Hi Dawn,

Hope all is well for you guys there. Here is a picture I took at Bodega Bay of Maverick and my little girl Caitlyn. He's such an awesome dog!

Take care,
Connie Knight

OH thank god I was worried it was your Ryker!!!  I hope everything is going well with you, I saw the photos of the new babies I want them all LOL!  I need to move to a farm so I can have a bunch of them!   

Some things my Ryker does that makes me crack up:

He insists on carrying my purse to the car every time we go out, I can ask him to get either my purse or my makeup bag and he will get whichever one I ask for!  He is so smart. 

Here is a video of Ryk bringing my makeup to me.

Hello Dawn & Whisper,

Thought you might like to know how my girl Jessie is doing. She is a GREAT puppy. Smart, intuitive and loving. We took her on a trip to Montana with us and she did great! She is 24weeks old and smart!!! Been working on teaching her "gentle" and she is doing great! Here is a picture of her in Montana it is only a week old so it's very recent. She is doing well happy and healthy. Her and my 3yr old Labrador are best buds and play all day long. They are funny they tease each other with rawhide bones and balls love to watch it they are really funny. Her affection includes of course licking but she loves to nibble on your ear lobs and it is sooo funny. She is a house/outdoor dog mostly in house with us. Thought you might like to see how she looks now. Slowly getting color on her face she is gorgeous.

Thanks
Kevin & Kathi Ricks

God bless you all in all you do!

Matt came along to herding class today so somebody could operate the camera and get some good pictures of Tiki! So, here's some pics of Tiki, doing her new found love in life, herding! She's fantastic at it, trainer even thinks she can be ready for her first trial in a few months. Can't wait. She now stands outside the sheep pens and barks and pulls and does everything to try and get me in there with her (she's surprisingly strong for a 55 pound puppy!) She doesn't understand that she has to wait in line! "I'm a princess, I don't stand in line!" Here's Tiki at 9 months old:

We started the morning, warming up on DUCKS! Tiki's first time seeing the ducks. She did pretty good with them. She likes sheep better.

 

Bringing the ducks around the fence. She's a little blurry. Trainer said she was a little too fast to work well on ducks and that it'd be wise to stick to trialing her with sheep. She showed me how it's done with her dog, who pretty much trotted and walked the whole time, Tiki seems to like a breakneck speed better.

 

Now on the the fun stuff in the afternoon, real SHEEP! She was catching this one that broke from the flock (she's a bit tangled in her leash the whole time, she was a little over zealous today and the trainer didn't want to remove the drag leash just yet, since she ran a sheep into the fence first thing in the pen).

 

 

Fetching the sheep back to us (that poor black and white one is the one she drove into the fence. Guy was terrified of her, but she calmed down after a whack on the head with the staff for that):

 

 

Moving the sheep around:
 

 

Trainer was stopping her here with a halt command and the staff. We're trying to teach her to fold into a down when she's ordered to halt. She's not quite gotten it yet. As you can see, she does start to crouch, but her elbows don't actually hit the ground yet. Tiki kept looking at the penned sheep and couldn't quite figure out if she was supposed to be in charge of those, too.

 

 

A nice storm rolled in as we were starting to work, which dropped the temperature considerably and gave a nice cool breeze to work in, it was very nice. Didn't actually rain until we were pulling out of the driveway. The trainer said she was really too powerful of a dog to just work on 3 sheep, she had the sheep really stressed, and she said she really needed a bigger pen and more sheep next time, but there were a lot of dogs there, so the other pens and sheep we being used. Except for the sheep being held, but they were doing something, I forget what.

We had a UKC dog show yesterday, and another one tomorrow. She did great, got a reserve best female! Raiden won Best of Breed over some stiff competition! The judge LOVED him, absolutely gushed on and on about him. And no one seemed to notice Tiki'd had a hair cut :) She did manage to open up her crate and as I'm standing in the ring with Raiden, Tiki comes running in, so proud of herself for finding me! Ring steward had to hold her while we finished being judged. Silly puppy!

Just wanted to drop you a line and send you a pic of the most beautiful GSD ever. Koda just turned a year old and is over 80 pounds and still has a lot of filling out to do. He is the best dog we ever owned. He is extremely intelligent and we are stopped everywhere we go with him by people that want to see him. He is a puppy from Freightliner and Infinite Lexus and we couldn't be more pleased. He is receiving his Hip checks shortly and we are interested in breeding so if you could pass us on to any interested parties that would be great. Thank you again for breeding such amazing and beautiful animals.
