​


DJ

Picture
D.J. (short for Darling Joker) is from Jester’s first litter with Starr.
D.J. was born on June 8, 2007. D.J.’s registered name is:
Argus’ April’s Fool, CD, RN, AX, NAJ, NF (SR42826301)
​

DJ was active in agility and obedience. He completed his novice obedience title was working towards more advanced titles when we retired him due to a heart murmur.  He is currently being used as a 4-H Youth Dog, helping to “train new trainers.” He is a wonderfully tempered boy with a sense of humor but full of lots of love! He is definitely a heart boy and is now following in the footsteps of the other Argus boys as our oldest. DJ also has completed his AKC Rally Novice titles as a veteran!

 Matilda

CH Argus' Waltzing Matilda, CD BN RAE (SR80633301)

Sire: CH Masters Top Hat 'N' Tails CD, BN, RE, NJP aka Fred
Dam: Argus' Caribbean Rose O'er Derby BN RN
DOB: December 11, 2013

Matilda is one of those dogs who we should have named after the novel by the same name and had her registered name be Argus' Sometimes You Have to Be Naughty. Seriously though, Matilda is a rare gem, giving us pieces of her grandfather, Jester and her Nanna, Sunshine. She is a pleasant dog with strikingly beautiful features. Easy to train, she has a strong desire to please. Matilda is very nurturing and loves to be held. 

Matilda completed her AKC Championship under the care of Team Black 'N Gold (PHA Laurie Jordan Fenner) with three major wins under highly respected judges. We are absolutely thrilled to have this beautiful champion as part of our family. Matilda has returned to the performance competition arena, earning her Rally Advance, Rally Excellent, and the RAE title. She continues to train for agility even as she has whelped her own litters.

Pollux and Castor (Paulie and Cassie--the Gemini Twins)

 Cas Argus' Royal Court Starr BN RN and Argus' Heavenly Look to the Starr BN CD RN
SR87091001 and SR 87091002


Sire: CH Masters Top Hat 'N' Tails CD, BN, RE, NJP aka Fred
Dam: Argus' Caribbean Rose O'er Derby BN RN
DOB: April 1, 2015

The Twins were born on April's Fools Day but we knew we needed to keep their names separate from the actual day or else we would be in trouble. And yet, we still were!!! It is rare for us to keep two puppies from the same litter but we instantly fell in love with these two and couldn't decide which to keep. Paulie showed some great promise as a young boy in conformation and the performance events, taking after his daddy in the ring. Cassie is also doing her fair share of placements and is excelling in the obedience and agility venues. Never a day goes by that these two don't remind us of the wonderful Argus dogs that came before them.

Both of The Twins have earned their AKC Beginner Novice and AKC Rally Novice titles. Paulie is working on as a service dog. Cassie has taken to the obedience and Rally venues. She earned a first place for her first AKC Companion Dog qualifying score with an impressive score of 191 out of 200 and completed her Companion Dog title. Cassie qualified for the AKC Invitational in Novice Obedience.

Paulie is now living with our friends, Joey and Stephen having retired early as a service dog. He is enjoying life, carefree with tennis balls and big sticks!

Diva

​Argus' Season Full of Sunshine BN RN RI (SR94648501)

Sire: CH Masters Top Hat 'N' Tails CD, BN, RE, NJP aka Fred
Dam: Argus' Caribbean Rose O'er Derby BN RN
DOB: July 5, 2015

Nicknamed "Monkey" because of the way she holds on to those she loves, Diva is an unexpected treasure. She was born the day shortly before we lost our oldest girl, Spice. In fact, Diva is named after her grandmother, Sunshine and Spice. As our youngest, Diva showed a lot of promise in the performance events having already earned her Rally Novice and Beginner Novice titles. We are looking forward to working with this little "monkey."

Dusty

Sire: Am CH. Shyan’s Argus’ Tribute, CD, AX, AXJ, NF
Dam: Int CH Argus’ Rise of the Phoenix, CD, MX, MXJ, OF
DOB: January 7, 2009
DOD: October 9, 2020

 
Sometime surprises come when you least expect them and that is so true of our Dusty. We were not planning on keeping a puppy from the Sunshine x Jester litter but something kept drawing us to these babes and finally we had to give in to the fact that this was kismet. Dusty is the granddaughter of Derby and of Ted. She was a confident pup, making her an incredible mother. She had  an excellent temperament, and was easily trained. She produced some of the best puppies we have ever bred. After motherhood, Dusty returned to the performance arena, earning her AKC Beginner Novice obedience title and an AKC Rally Novice title. She passed away unexpectedly in her sleep. Deeply missed.

Halle

Argus’ Rainbow In the Storm, CD, NA, NAJ (SR50472301)
 
Sire: Am CH. Shyan’s Argus’ Tribute, CD, AX, AXJ, NF
Dam: Int CH Argus’ Celestial Seasonings
DOB: June 29, 2008
​DOD: February 22, 2020

 
Halle was our “rainbow” from the Spice x Jester litter. She was destined to be the new “queen” as foretold and she is taking the task seriously. She trained for conformation, obedience, and agility ring in order to follow in her “pappa’s” paw-steps. She retired as an active service dog and enjoyed her last days hanging out by the pond.​ Halle passed away after a brief battle with hemangiosarcoma. Her family was by her side as she crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge.
