Tsali is the biggest doghouse in the South East! The numbers stay low so all the dogs can live in the house. The girls go out in the kennel while I’m working (so I have a house to come home to) but have the run of the property and house most of the day and night. I have dogs because I like dogs - not hot house flowers! Everyone runs together unless we’re in heat, when Fire has to live alone, and everyone is expected to get along - no small feat with all three girls birthdays in November (ages 3, 2, and 1 very soon). Everyone is socialized and loved.
"Team Moses" help out with the conformation shows just because it’s expected and I’m finally financially able to do it. Thank you guys for five champions in five years! I play at the performance stuff just because it’s fun. The dogs pick their own performance venues, or lack thereof, because they are companions and if they’re not having fun, why do it? My dogs come first and we have nothing to prove.

Sire: Ch Brigadoon’s California Dude CD, HS, StdS (sire of Ch Bayshore’s Flapjack)
Dam: Carolina’s Touch My Heart (Game Plan Daughter/Rusty Granddaughter)
I’m not really IN to boy dogs so “Firedog” was supposed to be my second homebred champion and just a show dog. He’d have none of it. He decided he was going to be MY dog at an early age and wormed his way into my heart, where he’s been ever since. The boy ain’t no wuss! In 1996 he passed the GSDCA Temperament Test and tried to eat the agitator! I keep telling everyone “He is so a real shepherd!” Fire is lord of the manor and self-appointed guardian of his domain (and me, and the girls, and the house, and the truck, etc.) Fire just celebrated his eleventh birthday on August 17th and just CERFed clear for another year!! His one and only litter to date turned two the same month! They say the mark of a stud dog is in his progeny. Ch Flash and Ch Coal have made their dad proud and little sis, Dancer, will be in the ring soon.
Fire is from a multiple champion litter and ½ brother to BIS Ch Bayshore’s Flapjack.

Ch. Tsali Destino Show Me The Cookies HIC CGC TC
DNA# V150043 Microchipped - DOB: 11/8/98 - CERF GS-948/2002-41
(AKA the Cookie Monster or the Monster for short - sometimes affectionately known as “lil’ miss perfect”)
Sire: Sel Ch Bar-N’s Magnum v Destino OFA
Dam: Ch Tara Airway’s Reba of Eberling HIC
All I had was Aussies in the house and I’d been looking for a sable bitch for about two years when Bev Anderson offered Mary Gattone and I the opportunity to lease Ch. Tara Airway’s Reba of Eberling HIC (Thanks again, Bev). We bred her to Sel Ch Bar-N’s Magnum v Destino. The pick bitch was mine and I put in my order early - I wanted Reba with Magnum’s bone and substance. [Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it!]. Reba is a lovely bitch and very accommodating. She waited for Mary and I to return from the ’98 National and whelped that night (Nov 8th). All I wanted was a sable bitch. I didn’t care if she had three legs and two heads - I wanted another sable bitch. Puppy after puppy came - no sable bitch. Reba decided she was finished - no sable bitch. I couldn’t believe it - eight puppies and no sable bitch. About five hours later Mary and I decided she wasn’t finished so after a trip to the vet - numbers nine and ten entered the world. Number nine was the “monster.” She was the only sable bitch out of ten puppies.
She was mine from the moment she popped out of her mommy and she knew it. Mary constantly fussed at me - “what if she’s not good enough?” I don’t care. “You’re spoiling her.” I’m trying to. “Show dogs can’t be house dogs.” She’s going to be! “She’s too big.” So???…………… “SHE’S ROTTEN!” Isn’t it wonderful! Sorry Mary, I’m not changing my mind! You can’t have her!!!!! I’d walk into the whelping room and nine puppies would charge the door of the run. The’d leap and yell and raise cain. Not “lil’ miss perfect.” She‘d just sit and wait. When I made it to the gate she’d stand up and walk right through the others like the parting of the red sea. She knew I was coming for her and didn’t have to compete for attention. After all, she was little miss perfect. She is exactly what I wanted and if she hadn’t been, I would have changed my wants! Is she perfect? If not, I don’t want to hear it. Let me be blind with just this one. She has the heart and soul of a German Shepherd Dog. She is physically sound and agile. She is bright, inquisitive, and the biggest brat in the country. And she's mine, ALL MINE!!!!! HeHeHe…… Hey Mary, she FINISHED, and I GOT THE PICK BITCH!!!!!
Cookie is now home enjoying her new retirement!
