In the mind of a Cattle Dog.

Emma barks, "Tucker, Charlie sniff the southeast. Kubba watch the north. Mattie, Josie, Benjamin, Sophie patrol our flank. Everyone else check our borders. B'lanna, Emma, Lulu watch and learn. And Theo, you guard the door.

Max prepares for his challenge with Ginsberg.

Rosy lends a helping hand to Max (a.k.a. Little Max, Smackx, Maxie) whipping him into perfect tug condition. Good luck Max. Don't forget Ginsberg is the 16time Heavyweight Rope Tugger Champion.

Welcome Lulu!

Lulu is a Cattle Dog mix who I think may be a new recruit for our Fetch Team. ;)

Welcome B'lanna!

Technically this is her second day. :) She's a Rotty pup who has been through Dogs Bay Training, and now is going to socialize here at Canine Antics. What a sweet heart!

Welcome Emma!

Don't look so sad Koda, There's always tomorrow.

Faster than a speeding chipmunk, able to leap small obstacle's with a single bound... Its Mikey and Rusty!!!! .

Mikey and his trusty sidekick Rusty. These two travel around fighting crimes and saving the world. :)

Here's a couple of pics of "The Pack" in action.

I could never, in a million years, ask for a better group of dogs to spend my work days with. They make the thought, of working another 30+ years until retirement, not seem so bad.

Canine Antics first ever doggie basketball game!!!

Kubba, Boone and Tucker warming up for the scrimmage. LETS GO DOGGIES, LETS GO! (clap, clap, clap)

If I could just get my lips around this thing.

Tucker really enjoyed basketball today. Tucker showed (human) John this afternoon how defense is played in the dog world.

Gus. 5-minutes in the penalty box. Not respecting the personal space of others.hahaha.

Judging by his smile, I feel Gus doesn't mind a time out.

Hey guys, whats goin' on?

Chloe is Groomer Lindsey's new girl. She can play both sides, but really likes being with little dogs. Good Girl!!

Charlie shows how he can help around the house.

I can only imagine how helpful he is at home. hahaha.

O.K. Charlie, give me the basket back, photo time is over... Charlie..... CHARLIE!!!!:)

Help! I've fallen and can't get up.

Kubba being silly as usual.

For those of you who question the royalty of my "Swiss Mountian Beagle".

Sedona (left) is a pure swiss mountain dog. Max (right) the newer breed. If you question, just look at the similarities. Right down to the white tip of the tail. haha ;)
