Siren is the only result of our first breeding. It was unplanned, so Siren became a very pleasant surprise. Siren follows in the footstep of her father, Hooch, with insane prey drive and a great love for catchwork. She was tested very early on and showed maturity and determination beyond her age. She has been used regularly as a catchdog at a local farm when it is time for vaccinations, and even kept a feral hog from entering a neighboring cattle farm, where it might have wreaked havoc. Her drive is exceptional and you can just ask her Dad (Allen), she will catch anything, including his dirtbike! She also showed a lot of promise for sportwork with early tug work. Before going to her new home, Parker was always impressed with how quickly she picked up obedience excercises and retained them. Maybe we can convince Mom and Dad to do a BST? lol Her conformation is just about perfect and she acheived her Jr. Championship by winning several individual classes, as well as taking Best Female Puppy in Show, and the final win being Best Puppy in Show at the 2004 Summer Sizzler!It has been so fun watching this little firecracker mature and we are so thankful to have her in such great hands! Allen and Lindsey are truly the perfect home for her. It is wonderful to watch the bond that she has with them. We are continuing to show her, now as an adult, in hopes of completing her Championship this year. We also hope to have her accompany her father on a hunt or two in the near future. |

Siren doesn't just watch
the action, she loves to ride in Allen's truck when he is rock crawling...
she wedges herself between his seat and the back to keep from falling
out and LOVES it!
|
The truck ended up in a roll-over
accident with Allen, Lindsay, and Siren in tow. She somehow managed
to keep herself in the upside down truck until they could get her out.
Moments later she was ready for another go round.... Siren is fearless!
