Zeus PCD BN RN CGC (American Pit Bull Terrier, 9/13/03-3/23/19). Zeus was rescued by Zandra from an abandoned drug house. He was her "foster" dog until her dad said "Now that's a good looking dog. You should keep him." Done! Zandra's dad got her an American Pit Bull Terrier as a child so he sparked her love of the breed. Zeus was a love bug and unlike Zena, he didn't want to be in a tracking harness 20 or 30 feet away from his mommy and he would rather sniff the flowers than the scent of a stinky human. That's when Zandra started AKC performance events--obedience and rally--so that Zeus and she could be a team beside each other. Zeus hated being an only dog briefly so when Zena came on board they were "besties" until she went to that proverbial bridge.
Zena VST TD RN CGC (American Pit Bull Terrier, 4/11/07--9/5/17). Zena was a rescue dog who came to live with Zandra and Zeus when she was a puppy. Zeus desperately needed a pal and he and Zena were inseparable always. Zena had brains and drive and loved outside activities. She earned one AKC title in Rally but was insulted by the whole experience. She took to AKC tracking (dog tracks human scent) where she could be outside and her exuberance rewarded. Zena was extremely smart but she liked to do things on her own terms. When she wanted to track, she was spot on, but when she was not in the mood, she would protest by eating grass!
Smooch PCD RN RAE, (American Bulldog, 1/13/11--3/28/22). Smooch was a street dog of Houston who was taken in by the Houston animal shelter, BARC. He was emaciated with half his hair missing. He went on to be a performance dog earning numerous AKC titles in obedience and rally events. He was eager to learn, eager to please and eager to be a part of a family. Smoochie was not supposed to be Zandra's dog, but so much for that. He was having no part of that and desperately wanted to be included. Smoochie loved people and while performing an event he would get that look in his eye and dart out of the ring to see his friends. His antics only endeared him more to all his fans!
