| Hondo on the right doing the 'group' retrieve with the frisbee |
Hondo won the 2013 Skyhounds local Championship in February.
Only his second time out! He is such a high jumper that it sounded like folks were watching fireworks when he was catching. Go Hondo!

Taken at one year of age. This boy is one of the most athletic dogs ever to grace the acers of Larapinta. Not only is he an absolutely super mover, he catches a disc 6 feet off the ground. The birds know not to fly too low at Ranchito Larapinta. He is learning service dog behaviors and is bold and confident at my side in a store or a park. Loves other dogs! He is the favorite of my daughter Susie who has Down's Syndrome. |

"CASH" Pictured here at 11 months
AKA "Larapintas Quiet Man, SD (service dog), CGC" 2009 . A Black Tri son of "Yuni" and "Baloo" He is following in the footsteps of his mother. He is already, an awesome service dog. Opening and closing doors and retrieving just about anything from a dime to a queensized quilt. He fits his name perfectly. I have to look for him because he is a quiet boy but I usually find him right by my side. I'm in love! Cash is turning out to be a super disc dog as well. Maybe you will see him out at the disc competitions some day soon!
Dare is now one year old, a Thunder x Latte' son. He has several titles already and what a handsome boy!
Larapinta Dare To Dream RN CGC ( Dare) got one leg for his CD for AKC at the National Dog Show in Dec.
Canine Good Citizen is now a title and can be listed along with other AKC titles.
Since Dec. 2012

Gaines is a full brother to Cash. He is always out and about with his human Mary Thrasher.
In his first match he took best senior puppy, a group first and a third place in Juniors 9 to 11 years with Laurel, his girl handler. What a team! He also got his Canine Good Citizen certificate that weekend as well. What a good boy! Not bad for 11 months. He also got his Rally Novice title at under a year.
What a nice breeding! These pups from the Yuni x Baloo litter last year, are maturing very quickly and are really solid. Gaines got his Therapy Dog Certification at just over a year with lots of plans for the future.
