I just purchased a pup from Don and couldn't be more pleased. Don told me he breeds 'working/hunting dogs' and thats exactly what I want, I'm not looking for a show dog to prance around a ring, I live in 'the country' and want an 'all around dog' that will guard my property, follow my horse when riding, and also have strong hunting instincts and plenty of grit and drive.When I picked up my pup at the airport, I expected to see a scared, confused little dog in the crate, (after eight hours of flying, transfers e.t.c.) instead, I found a calm, confident 'little fella' that when taken out of his enclosure, started walking over to a cactus, to 'check things out'. He rode home snuggled in my lap and spent the night in his crate, (no whining). I constructed a temperary kennel in the yard, put him inside, and again, no whining.He was 8 weeks when he arrived, and by 12 weeks was housebroken and sleeping on a pad at the foot of my bed.At 13 weeks I am taking him on hour long walks in the desert, firing guns over his head,(no problem),he comes when I call, curls up at my feat in the evening and doesn't want the other (large) dogs to take 'his spot'. I have had many pups and never seen one with this degree of confidence and tractability. Don told me he has spent many years developing a line of 'super airedales', and I believe him. I can't wait for 'little Jake' to become 'big Jake'.

I have a dog by High Country Titan, out of High Country Natasha. Julius, dob 07.13.08, is awesome!!! Eager to work, even temperament, great appetite, solid nerves, adapts quickly to all that is presented. Worked well in 1st series of obedience classes; getting ready to start in Rally-O in Feb. 09. Plays beautifully with all sorts of other dogs at park. Was house-trained at 4 months.
Never mind the fact Julius is gorgeous, IMHO. Great coat, true black, nice red, perfect ear set and good working proportions.
Best of all Julius is my willing partner.
As for Don, his care for his pack, his study of dogs, and overall integrity - can't go wrong. He lives for them and takes no shortcuts in his breeding program. Temperment, health, drive, and looks. It is all there.
