They Call Me Mr. Trouble v Riata

Finally I am able to upload photos again. That is why there is such a gap with my last blog and this one, could not get photos up to the site.

The pictures below are of my Trouble and his new family. Trouble was born March 17, 2008. His dam was my Moka, Witch Witch Witch v Riata and his sire is CH Been There Done That of Edan PT. My friend Paul who lives in Austin started talking about getting a German Shepherd from me a few months ago. I thought he would be getting a puppy from the litter I will be breeding in December but instead he is taking my Trouble. This is going to be a great home for the dog, Paul does a lot of hiking on trails and wants Trouble to be able to go with him on some of those adventures. Paul's son claims that Trouble will be his dog, not his father's. :-) They came for a day visit to see Trouble in person and to play with him. Trouble loves anyone who will throw the tennis ball for him! I have had some people ask me how could I give up a dog that I bred and raised for 2 years, the best answer I can give is, I want what is best for this boy. They will give him the one on one attention that he so deserves. Trouble has to share me with 9 other German Shepherds and I know he does not care but I do. It will tough going for Paul and Trouble to begin with, but with unconditional love from Paul, Trouble will return it 100 fold. I am happy to say that Paul has allowed me to be a co owner on the dog. I will be taking Trouble to Austin in December to start his new life and when I will leave Austin I'll be leaving a piece of my heart behind.

This is Paul's son, Paul playing with Trouble. He does so love those tennis balls!
This is the picture I sent them, showing what Trouble looked like. He is a handsome dog just needs to fill out and finish growing up. Paul is going to take Trouble to obedience classes. He wants to put an obedience title on the dog, which I think is great. It will help with the bonding process.


This is Paul on one of his adventures. Not an adventure Trouble would be going on. :-)

Another photo of Paul. I love this one, that is a chickadee sitting on his fingers
