Tex is our liver boy who started out as my husband’s dog. However, my husband didn’t realize how much work was involved in training the dogs, so I took over.  Tex is one of the sweetest dogs in our house.  He enjoys his therapy dog work.  He is a maniac about the water and enjoys his birds.  He is an honest worker and tries hard for me.  Tex is 4 months older than our other youngster, Zealot.  Having 2 puppies so close has been an experience that I would not repeat, but I would never give them up.

What a girl! Piper has now qualified for the FCRSA Hall of Fame. We couldn’t be more proud of her!

My first love when it came to dogs was Shetland Sheepdogs. But most of my friends had Flat-coated retrievers and the more I hung around with them, threw birds for them and went to 2 FC Nationals with a Sheltie, the more I saw the wisdom and the light of getting my very own FCR back in 2001. Breezy was my first and has shown me the ropes of owning a FCR. Over the years we have become fast best friends and enjoy doing obedience, agility, hanging out, and her favorite–field. She has also made me realize that I can have two first loves.
