Awesome Twixx pup

Trexx, in her first couple weeks of working the streets of Detroit, has found over 79 grams of Marijuana, multiple Heroin packets and an AR15. Her work has led to more than $3100 in seizers with multiple arrests.

AAZK animal art

Kludde's art work is part of a fundraiser with other peices done by non-human animals (and peices of art done by people).  I understand that Kludde's painting was one of the first items to be purchased.

AKC Museum of the Dog

Three levels- first is mostly fine art work (no paintings by dogs) but also a dog cart. Second is special exhibits, currently dogs of St. Louis. Last is working dogs.  There were a few Dutchies doing police work displayed here.  Last pic was Kludde's favorite part of the museum.  This was only non-posed shot and he did turn his head and opened his mouth but I was able to prevent performance art of a working dog demo.

First herding lesson

Had good lesson at Rasberry Ridge Farms. Our other training caused a little confusion but he did pretty well (only two grips).  Will likely do it again. Kludde and the camel had a friendly nose touch.

Karma pup - Rhaeger

A big one and ... I think the decoy is one who Kludde is also fond of.  The decoys with the ear holes and many tattoos make Kludde's tail wag.

Kludde supports his wild canid brethren.  His painting contibuted to the Endagered Wolf Center's recent fundraiser bringing in more than $4000.  Of the five species they support, Kludde gives the biggest smile to the African Painted dogs.
