"Badger"
Born 07/02/2023​

​         Son of our fabulous "SKY" , and
 MBISS GCHG Barton Creeks Night Moves,   "SEGER",  he is quickly exceeding our expectations in terms of work performance and movement. He is a handsome boy and we are confident he will be appreciated in the AKC conformation show ring! 

Badger is currently in training for his AKC Rally, and  AKC Obedience titles. He will be back in the AKC Conformation rings starting in August 2024. He has already earned the following credentials:

International Puppy Championship
National Puppy Championship
Honors Puppy Championship



He is a rising youngster out of our breeding program and breeding decisions are pending receipt of all final health clearances ​in July 2025.
