From L to R:
Lady’s Chocolate Moose II JH, HR Sun Valley’s Lil’ Jack Crash JH, and Sir Houlton YDE. For those familiar with AKC/UKC titles you may be wondering about the black dog. In the spirit of today’s “everyone goes home with something” culture, we bestowed “Sir” upon him along with YDE: Yard Dog Extrordinaire. Wouldn’t do for him to get a complex. Well, a worse one than he already has.

For the uninitiated: JH = AKC Junior Hunter, basically a dog capable of retrieving ducks on land and water, in cover, as singles, and deliver to hand. HR = UKC Hunter Retriever, a dog that has passed (or capable of it) at the Started level and can make longer more difficult retrieves as doubles, can be handled via hand-signals to a blind retrieve, deliver to hand, and honor (watch unrestrained) while another dog works. So the Moose has quite a way to go before he passes the old man of the yard. And then there’s the YDE, undoubtedly a democrat since he does absolutely nothing in return for his room and board.

I will bet that YDE’s main job is to bring a smile to you.
Ohhhh, I just want to throw a tennis ball for each of them!! Big hugs for them. They look very sweet and on their best behavior.
