Keeper is a breeders dream...and Ann Gunderson is a breeders dream of a person to find that gives a home to a dog and continues to prove that dog in so many different venues.  I cannot say enough about either Ann or Keeper without sounding gushy!!  Ann came to meet the boy I thought would be just right for the activities she wanted to do with a cattle dog.  Ann arrived down from Canada with her friend and maybe 5 very large gorgeous Pointers.  Keeper was not at all intimidated walking underneath all these giants, he fit in from the start.  Ann kept me updated and the time went on and there were so many many venues they were doing together successfully.  EVERY title that Keeper garnered was with Ann, I finally got to see them in action at the 2007 Canadian Nationals in BC, Canada.  That boy was so focused on Ann it was understandable why they were doing so well, plus he is one of those silly boys that does everything with a huge cattle dog grin!

Ann gets to take Keeper to work also, she is a teacher and you can see in the photos below that this is another adventure he relishes.  I have asked Ann to write her own reflection of her and Keeper and I will add that very soon.  I am so proud of these two that my jaw hurts from grinning to read about them.

This is one of my favorite  links on Keeper  doing   Agility at Chuckanut   




While this is an old report of Ann's - it illustrates all they accomplished by 4 years of age!!  Keeper's  Birth Date is  April 26, 2004  Believe me a CDX on a cattle dog at 2 years of age is quite an accomplishment!!



Keeper finished his Obedience Utility title at the Victoria City Kennel Club's show on August 10th, 2008!
