Logan (Dec 8, 1991 – Jan 12, 1996)Logan was my first shepherd. He was bred and raised by Ann and Roger Gafke (King’s Pride) in Columbia, Missouri. I adopted Logan when he was 18 months old. He was an easygoing, affectionate, and protective friend. I will always treasure his gentle companionship.
Jake (May 12, 1993 - Nov 13, 2001)Jake was my second King’s Pride shepherd. I adopted him when he was 6 months old to provide Logan with a playmate. Jake was remarkably intelligent, playful, agile, and brave. He loved me with his all his heart.
Cody (August 9, 1995 – March 10, 2004)Cody was my first shepherd from Carolyn D’Orta (Tiffany). I adopted Cody at 4 months. Storm later became his playmate. Cody was independent, spontaneous, and a very cunning escape artist. He brought our pack boundless play and joy.
Calvin (Dec 5, 1995 – Jan 9, 2007)Calvin was my second Tiffany and King’s Pride shepherd. I adopted him at 12 months. Calvin was gentle, intelligent, brave, and affectionate. His love for me was remarkable. I treasured his insistent nudges, urgent hugs, and joy of living. He protected our pack and taught me about courage.
Storm (Dec 8, 1997 – August 12, 2010)Storm was a wolf-malmute hybrid. I adopted her at 11 weeks from John and Carrie Gaines. She was a playful and loving companion. She was too clever for her owner and ran our pack. We will miss her steadfast loyalty, courage, and gentle spirit.
Samantha (May 29, 2008)Sam is my third Tiffany and King’s Pride shepherd. I adopted her at 8 weeks. She has helped me raise Bama from a puppy and is my constant companion. She has boundless affection and energy. She returned play to our lives.
Bama (August 18, 2010)Bama is my first shepherd from Covy-Tucker Hill in Cotati, California. I named him after Aaron “Bama” Truitt. I adopted him after one look at his soulful face. Bama is Sam’s constant playmate. He is steadily growing into his huge paws. His gentleness and sweet disposition have made him one of my favorites.
