Koda
This dog. My heart dog. Koda was truly my first dog. He was a one person dog and earned the title of Mr. Batman for being off in the shadows judging everyone else. He played show dog, agility, rally, and obedience and never placed a foot wrong. He lost his fight with an aggressive lymphoma after an almost two year fight.

Macey
Macey's story is one where the stars aligned just right. She was a rescue from my first job but I managed to find her breeders, learn her history, recover her coat, helped her lose weight, worked through her reactivity, and eventually compete in a multitude of sports, shows, and grooming competitions. She is the dog that can do it all.

Basil
If Robin is the perfect child, I'm not sure what that makes Basil. He is comically troublesome and mischievous but his puppy eyes make every wrong a right.
