Temperment
Oskar is a dominant male, with wonderful manners.  He has a true 'Swissy' temperment, will alarm bark and is reserved around new comers, until he is told they are 'OK'.  A high energy boy with a strong work drive, we are working on, 'cats are friends...not food'.  He is especially fond of Shane, and loves to go anywhere in the 'chick pea'.  He is quiet and patient while Shane adjusts horses or dogs, and is great with all kids.  He also loves his treadmill on cold, windy or rainy days!! 

Movement
Oskar is a very correct flat mover.

CERF # - SMH - 1087/2008-15  Non symptomatic distichiasis

Temperment
Breeze is a quiet, reserved girl, until you get to know her.  Like Jessie, she loves water and will occasionally chase a ball around, to annoy Fitz if nothing else.  Breeze 'speaks' to us in her sweet woo woo voice and is quite the charmer.  She loves children and is very tolerant with them.

Congratulations Shannon Grabill and Quiet Valleys Whispering Breeze for Best of Breed and their 2pt major at the Lloydminster show!!   Unfortunately Breeze injured her leg playing in the field and is unable to finish her Championship.

Our beautiful easy Breezy girl has now been retired to a wonderful pet home.  It ia a very difficult decision to make and an even harder one to carry out, but we believe our girls deserve to have a great life after their breeding and show careers.  So we place them in pampered pet homes where they can have the much deserved attention they need, while we focus on our up and comers.

Thank you so much Patti and Steve for giving Breeze such a wonderful life....we still miss her so much, but know she is where she deserves to be!

CH. Crooked Creek Bobby George
Bob is out of our Breeze/Dylan litter, a big chill pill, who lives in town with Doug and Claire and loves to visit 'Shane'.  We are very proud of our big stellar boy.

Congratulations to
 CH. CROOKED CREEK BOBBY GEORGE
our first home raised breeder/handled CHAMPION!!!
Special thanks to Doug and Claire for giving Bob such a great home!

Dandelion Sana
Sana joined our family in August, she was born June 27th.  We are excited to see what she can do!!  Thank you to Peter and Regula Strehler of Dandelion Farms, P.E.I. Canada, for blessing us with such wonderful foundation stock!

Although Sana hates the conformation ring (lol), we are going to give it one more try this spring summer, and if things still don't go well, we will try for other titles on her (herding, drafting, obedience etc).

Sadly Sana was taken from us far to soon.  Rest in Peace my Sweet Sana Girl

June 2010 - Sept 2012

Salvatore of Crooked Creek

We are so thrilled with the new boy out of the Jessie/Klaus litter.  He is a sweet laid back boy with exceptional conformation and we are so excited to see how he progresses.  Sal is our special 'lump'!
