My current Dogs
Agilqwest AZ-MT Sol Starfish and Coffee - Aster
I brought Aster home on the 4th of July in 2020. So much of the world was in flux and this little girl changed my flux from the moment I saw her.
Her Breeder, Sonja Schroeder, picked her for me and we've never looked back. Aster has been the canine partner I have been looking for all my life.
In 2023 we achieved her AKC conformation championship, and together we've put several performance titles after her name - Trick Dog Advanced, Farm Dog Certified, DCAT, Scent Work Novice, Scent Container Advanced, PT (Herding title), and Canine Good Citizen. We've also complete our Nose Work 1 (NW1) and ESE1 through NACSW - had two close attempts at NW2; have 2 legs of a Rally Novice (RN) title in AKC, and before life got too crazy we were active on a Search and Rescue team for HRD. She really is a versatile little dog. And in fact she has earned her VSA - Swedish Vallhund Versatility Advanced Title!
For 2024 - Aster has finished her Scent Containers Excellent Title. We continue to pursue fun on the farm and in the performance rings.
Asterias' Aoraki Qwest - whittaker
Whittaker is Aster's singleton puppy born 11/23/23. His Sire is a lovely New Zealand dog: Rahkantra Silver Fox with Vanaheim - Marko. Between Aster and Marco, this pup as a lot of get up and go! And he's going to give us a run for it for sure!
So far he's outgoing and bold. Sweet and smart. He's got a lot of sass and is very cute and he knows it! At 4 months of age he earned his Trick Dog Novice title.
We can't wait to see where he goes and I am excited to be on the end of his leash. A huge thank you to Candyce Orchard and Natalie Morgan for allowing the use of Marco and being amazing mentors across the globe.
