Deputy Dog!

Shawnee von Bachbett is pictured here with her handler and the judge at her swearing in ceremony last night.  Judge John Damon, (who also swore in Shawnee's Mom Heline several years ago), gave Shawnee the oath during the monthly meeting of the Trempealeau County Board.  Shawnee and handler Deputy Travis McDonah then went out and promptly got their first three drug arrests!  Good job!

Not to be outdone, brother Sabiye, one of LaCrosse County Sheriff's Department's K9 Boxers, did a successful criminal suspect track last night as well.  Also new to the job, this was Sabiye's first track.  Another good job- congratulations Deputy Stoughtenger!

Another Happy Home

This weekend yet another of Cliff's and Sofia's German Boxer puppies left Bachbett Boxers to start a new and happy life! Frank and Kim picked up their boy on Saturday, and he joins their female Boxer Tes. Kim reports that the new boy, whose call name is Samson, is the hit of the neighborhood.

Fourth of July a Real Blast!

The Fourth of July weekend saw two more of our puppies go to their new homes! Charlie H. drove down to see us Saturday morning and picked up his U-V-W litter puppy whose name is "Udo Josef." Josef bonded to Charlie immediately, and when we went into the kitchen to do some paperwork, the little brindle boy quickly found a comfortable spot perched on Charlie's legs, and promptly fell asleep! Here's a picture of him- how cute! Saturday evening our fawn T litter girl, Tawny, was picked up by her new owner, Warren H. It was love at first sight for that pair as well, and we know they'll be very happy together in the years to come! We still have a few puppies available, with at least one more leaving us next weekend!

First Puppy Gone!

Yesterday the first of our UVW litter pups went to her new home! Lisa W. picked up Ursa Mukki von Bachbett, and they are headed home now. That's Mukki posing in the mailbox. It's always sad to see the pups go, especially the first one from a litter, but it is great to know that she is going to such a super home and will have a happy life! Bye little Mukki!

I Can See Clearly Now

The rain has gone! It's gonna be a bright, bright, sunshiney day! After more than a week of dismal, drenching rainy days, the sun has reappeared and the working German Boxers von Bachbett are happy campers! The puppies in particular are enjoying the bright, warm sunshine and clear blue skies. They run and romp and play all day and try hard to make as much mischief as they can! In fact, I had to take a break from writing this post, because the Cliff and Sofia U-V-W litter of puppies had pulled part of the tarp over their pen down into it, and were playing "trampoline" on top of the suspended tarp! The picture on the left is one of the girl puppies snatching treats I was using during a photo session yesterday. They all have great noses, and this girl smelled the meat from across the yard and made a mad dash for it! They are eight weeks now, and will start going to their new homes next week. I miss them already!
