I sold Savvy as a puppy and wished later I had kept her. She had two litters for the H Cross, and I got her daughter and look like, Tavi.. Due to Savvy starting to roam and Tavi’s obsession to work (and I really don’t have the regular work for a dog), Bob and I made a trade, partly to benefit both Savvy and Tavi and partly for our own benefit. Later due to Tavi having the same desire to roam, now I have them both! Bob said a while back something to the effect of, “The highest drive cattle dog I have had is now Terry’s house dog.” Both true. Savvy is a very very special part of my life now but show her cattle and she has to heel every one of them, turn them around, and them heel them again and then she comes back when called. I kept a daughter by Maverick out of what is probably her last litter.

Tavi is pretty much like her mom. Black, tough, loves to work cattle, another “sweet dog” descended from Sweet N Innocent “Whicket.” A high drive dog working but easy to be around. I am glad I got her back; she has come from H Cross to Slash V, back to H Cross and back here – to stay. None of that bothered her in the least. Grips heads, heels, silent, sensible. She is producing some really keen dogs bred to Deuce and to Kid.

Slash V Shining Tide X Slash V Remington Steele

Blue merle female whelped 6/11/17

Bonnet's Pedigree

I borrowed my granddaughter’s Remi to breed to Tide and decided to keep a daughter as he was turning 12. My “keeper” turned out to be almost a carbon copy of her ¾ sister Selkie except for the color of her eyes. They even both have a black right front leg. Bonnet has a unique black marking across her head and on her ears and thus her name. She is good on cattle and has proven to be a grown up keeper and not just a prospect. She is from Tide’s last litter and her mom has produced many outstanding dogs by Maverick. Bonnet is proving to be a great cross with Kid so far and I have kept two of their daughters.

Slash V Danger Zone X Aggieland’s Texas Hope

Red Tri Female whelped 11/4/15

20” OFA AS 35693F26F – NOPI

Mig's Pedigree

Mig is a real laid back dog to live with and a little reserved with strangers. She gets along with other dogs and has that “look you in the eye’ thing that I like about her sire, Maverick. Her mother, who I leased for the litter she was in, is a hard hitting cow dog, tough on heads and heels. I like a real correct athletic dog, and she is very well put together. Mig has had limited exposure to cattle but goes right to them, has a good sense of group. It seems like she will be a little stronger on heads than heels but time may change that. Her pedigree has some of my favorite old dogs in it and also some dogs that belonged to others and that I admired. She has both Smokey and whicket back there but some other outcrosses. Mig has crossed well with Cutter and has also wormed her way into being a house dog. Pups are working!
