Keeper
As we looked at the litter that keeper came from, it was the pup with the brown collar that I kept going back to. He became my Keeper. The square body, typey headpiece and calm steady approach to life endeared my “Keeper” to me and his breeder.
Keep went on to complete all the goals I have had for a show dog
Grand champion at the Silver level
Multiple speciality wins including the most recent out of the Veterans class
An all breed Best In Show was the icing on the cake. this was achieved at the very prestigious Bryn Mawr KC in scorching temperatures. He always gives us 110%.
Achieving his Register of Merit status through the achievements of his get leaves a legacy that will carry his qualities forward through time
Keeper has been by my side for his entire life. It takes the talented Dennis Collins with his long legs to keep up with this boy when he shows. Dennis and Carol Collins have believed in Keeper from the beginning and have been his exclusive professional handlers
I look forward to many more years with this exceptional dog,

We lost Keep in the fall of 2022. He passed due to cancer and is sorely missed.
