Mandy - AKA Big Bertha

Mandy in August 2001. A much happier and confident girl. She is the Canine Boss of the house and has no problem keeping the other 6canines in line. Mandy's favorite past time is "pouncing" her toys or the other dogs.

She has recently begun dieting to go down to the comfortable weight of 140 pounds.

 

DJ - AKA DEEJER DOG

DJ is an absolute doll. She "talks" to Rick all of the time. He has taught her to say. "out". She shakes, gives high five, says please and thank you, and will fall over when shot with your finger. What a character.

August 2001 ( 2-1/2 years old): DJ is 130 pounds, 30.5" at the withers.

Poppy - AKA PopTart
This is Poppy, Brittany's little dog with a big attitude. Poppy does not like other male dogs and is not very accepting of Vladimir, Benson, or Rocky. Luckily for everyone the boys don't care if he likes them or not. Poppy wants nothing other than to be the center of your universe, and luckily, Brittany is that for him.
Vladimir - AKA Vladimir Konstantinov

This is Vladymir,one of the 3 additions to our family. If you know Rick you understand his name. He is named in honor of Vladymir Konstantinov because he takes as good as he gives and loves every minute of it. Vladi is better known as "Devil Dog"

At 7 months he is approximately 110 pounds and full of the devil.

This is Benson, one of the other new additions to our home.

Benson also lives up to the attitude of his namesake.(The TV show Benson) He is quiet

until he decides that it is time to strike and then he pounces. Benson definitely has the

Omega attitude on our home. He is better known as "Momma's Angel".

At 7 months he is also near 110 pounds.

At 1 year Benson is approximately 160 pounds. We are keeping Benson lighter as he has trouble with his rear end.
