CH Cordillera's Lil' Bombardier RN x CH Moonvalley's Major Impact

In February 2018 we said goodbye to Ranger - and end to an era for sure.  He has left a void in the house and our lives, but we look back at almost 12 years of life with him and smile.  Ranger was an amazing representation of the breed and brought so many great friendships into our lives.

Along with being an amazing part of our family, Ranger was a show dog from his first steps to his last.

CH Shadetree's Annie Oakley x CH Evander V D Regenhalde

In March of 2014 we said Goodbye to Lillabit at 11 1/2.  She fought cancer for over a year, and was a beauty until the last day!  She is missed, but lives on through her pups, grandpups, and so on.

Lil made the best bridesmaid at Katie & Stephen's wedding

Lillabit and Mike were a great team for 10 years!

2004 - Lil becomes a Champion with Mike
2006 - Lil and Mike win Best Opposite Sex at the National Specialty
2006 - Lil and Mike take home a Group 3 Placement
2012 - Lil and Mike win Best Veteran Bitch at the National Specialty

Although she only showed for a few years, she had a great time in the ring and upon becoming a veteran loved being back!


Chali was our 12 year old lab that came to live with us when she was 5, and Lillabit was a year old.  Chali lost her battle with diabetes and the complications over the summer of 2010.  She has joined Mr Stitch and Daniel at the Rainbow Bridge.

Chali was diagnosed with diabetes in April 2006, and was completely blind in less than 6 months.  She received surgery to correct her sight, and within a few months was diagnosed with Glaucoma.  As a result, Chali has lost her left eye and is about 95% blind in her right.  She hears (different than listens) just fine, and her smell is spot on.  She is a little limited in her activity where she is not familiar, but does quite well on her walks and around the house.  A BONK here and there - especially when we do not put things away!

Ranger is her BEST friend in the world...


Daily cleaning from Ranger...Chali wears a harness so that we can "steer" her around better.


Mr Stich was a singleton born to Lillabit's second litter on June 18, 2007.  As soon as he was born he needed surgery for an umbilical hernia, and at three weeks of age he was back in surgery for a twisted intestine.  Mr Stitch stayed with us for 10 weeks before passing over the Rainbow Bridge.  He is buried at 9700 feet, forever to be a Mountain Dog.  He is missed by all of us every day.
