Career Highlights

For those of you who wanted to see Kaleb's titles etc, here you go :)

Kaleb is almost 7.5 years old, and I am just so appreciative of the time we have been able to share together. I know how lucky I am to have him happy, healthy and sound at his age, AND for his breed. I can't see retirement anytime in his future, and when that day comes, I am sure he will tell me, actually nevermind, he won't, that will be up to me.

Putting this list together of his "Career Highlights" really puts things in perspective, and puts makes eyes water, must be my darn contacts :) . He has accomplished so much in his years, and let me tell you it has NOT been easy. We started competing together when he was 3. He was Pete's SAR dog until that time. So it took us a while to build a good, now great relationship. For those of you who know Kaleb, you know how much work it has been, and what an ass he was (and can be :) ) but I've enjoyed the whole the journey. None of my other dogs have put me on such an emotional rollercoaster, which is why I can appreciate what he has accomplished even more.
