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 Clauson, picked her for me and we've never looked back. Aster has been the canine partner I have been looking for all my life.
2025 was a lot about her son (below), but Aster also continues to shine as my best girl! She earned more performance titles, earning her Versatility Excellent designation. She also Qualified for Crufts an in January 2026, we went to the Westminster Kennel Club Dog show where she was awarded Best Opposite Sex! She continues to be the best partner a dog nut could have!

Whittaker is Aster's singleton puppy born 11/23/23. His Sire is a lovely New Zealand dog: Rahkantra Silver Fox with Vanaheim - Marco. Between Aster and Marco, this pup as a lot of get up and go! And he's giving us a run for it for sure!
Whittaker is loving scent work, rally, herding training, and the show ring! He had a HUGE 2025 - from finishing his championship, grand championship, versatility excellent award, Westminster invite and all around good buddy. He was the #3 SV for 2025 an the #2 Owner Handled dog. Also earning a Crufts invitation. We started 2026 off with Westminster Award of Merit and more performance titles to earn his Versatility Championship at just over 2 years of age.
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.
