Bachbett Boxers in the News!

K9 Cliff vom Grand Kevin is retiring from the LaCrosse County Sheriff's Department, and young Sabiye von Bachbett will be covering Cliff's "beat" from now on.  And of course, Sabiye's sister, Shawnee von Bachbett, has been sworn in as a deputy in neighboring Trempealeau County, where her and Sabiye's Mom, Heline vom Talersberg, is ALSO an active police K9.  And this past week, all of the K9s made the local news, with articles in the LaCrosse Tribune and in the Trempealeau County Times.  Here is a link to the Tribune article on Cliff and Sabiye and it includes a photo of the two together. http://lacrossetribune.com/news/local/article_76ac3220-d389-11e0-9600-001cc4c002e0.html.  Unfortunately, the Trempealeau paper does not have a web site, but here is the picture of Deputies Shawnee and MacDonah. Congrats to all and a very long and happy retirement Cliffer!!
