Rumpel in
Tiburon, California.
I have to admit
that when Elisabeth first called and said that
she could not
be put on our waiting list, I was suprised.
When she
explained that it was because she was 74 years old, I was amazed!
After all, who
would want an Yngo puppy when they are 74?
After many
phone conversations, I was determined to meet with Elisabeth,
even if I
wasn't going to have a puppy available. She seemed like an extraordinary
woman and I was
intrigued to say the least when she offered me a history of what
she had
accomplished in dogs. Most importantly, she seemed to
truly love them.
When I met
Elisabeth, I wasn't disappointed.
Yngo gave her
his seal of approval, and off she went with Rumpel...
And
for those wondering, Rumpel
means "Little Klutz".
Elisabeth
did an outstanding job with Rumpel, earning his AKC TD and TDX
titles with ease.
The
report that I got said that he was the youngest dog, she was the
oldest handler,
and
that they did their track the fastest!!! We are so proud of
this team!
In her love for
Rumpel, Elisabeth has made the decision to pass on the torch.
Rumpel is now
with his new owner, Tara Arndt of Nebraska (below) and will
pursue his FEMA
Search and Rescue Certification.
Thank you,
Elisabeth, for giving Rumpel such an excellent start in life and
for allowing
Tara to continue on with him! We know you won't be disappointed.

Watch
for more to come from Tara and Rumpel...
As
you can see, they really are happy together!
Some photos of Rumpel growing up...
Rumpel's idea
of "crate training"
And as you can
see, Elisabeth had some helpers in raising Rumpel.
Above is 11
year old Nina UDTDX
The note on the
back of this photo was "I get my ears cleaned by Nina"
And on the back
of this one,
"I get
killed by that Aussie"
Rumpel is well socialized.
This photo was
captioned "what the heck is that?"
Rumpel also
lives with Oliver the cat, but I don't have any pictures.
From the
reports that I've heard though, that cat not only rules the house,
but the entire neighborhood!
Nine Month old
Rumpel and Eric, Elisabeth's Son.
Elisabeth
reports that Rumpel will do anything for Eric.
What could be
better than being loved so dearly?
Possibly being
loved that much AND living by the ocean!
