This is White Eagle Saints "Takoda"
FATHER is West Winds Kodiak.
Takoda has been a winning show dog
SOME OF OUR SAINTS ARE CERTIFIED AS THERAPY DOGS
We will only show at two or three shows a year, it has been fun and its nice to see what the dogs can do but its not about the blue ribbon,its about love of the breed
Please go to FETCHDOG.COM and purchase the Dog Tag Chewy Shoe, its made from the same mold used to make army boots; part of the proceeds goes to
"puppies behind bars" program where puppies are trained by prison inmates, then turned over to military soldiers coming home,to help them deal with trumatic stress and flashback issues
PP
Got a chance to try agility, it was fun, and its good for the dogs to try these different things
Also , got a chance to try Rally,it was fun to do that too. And may try it again in the future it
In addition to dog shows, we have several dogs involved in therapy work, we visit, hospitals,schools,hospice homes, etc
Getting a blue ribbon at a show is nice but this is far more rewarding; Seeing someones face light up that is dying from cancer or just had an amputation because of war or illness;
These dogs bring joy to people when they are depressed. If you ever get a chance to do therapy work,please do so; what the dogs do for someone is amazing

There are no bad days when you come home to a dogs love

Its been medically proven that within 15 minutes of petting a dog that your cholesterol and blood pressure will lower
There are big advantages of letting people interact with the dogs. Elderly patients have less depression,less anxiety, and more self esteem. Peoples faces light up when we bring the dogs; many people want to talk about a pet they have had, so the dogs actually give people memories of their past and brightens their day
Please consider donating your time with your pet, its good for the people you visit, its good for the dogs, and its good for you !!!
CGC is
required
for therapy dogs
