Would love to have a female that we could breed to my daughter's dog,
Ranger.

Thanks Dusty
Our Lassen is out of Shasta. Shasta is out of Burl Fords Buddy her Father is
the Son of Rover brother to Shep which makes her a Granddaughter of The
original four she also has Little Bit in her pedigree. Little Bit is one of
the females from that litter with Keppie being the final female in the
group. Of course her grandfather Buddy is a Grandson of Shep. So she has
three of the original dogs in her pedigree.
She is beautiful with eyes that speak
As far as I know this litter had the highest concentration of OTFS that was
bred in many years.
if I'm not mistaken Robbie is a litter mate to Buddy
