Catie and Zeus starting out in the junior agility run.  These photos took place on August 4th when Zeus was 19 weeks old.


Zeus going over the "junior" dog walk.


Zeus finishing the dog walk.


Being very serious as they wait for the time results.  They did very well for their first time - their group came in FIRST!


Zeus at the "hot dog dunking" bowls


Why did you have to put the darn hot dog in the WATER??!!


Catie and Zeus after the day's events watching the frisbee demonstration.  Zeus wants to learn that - it looks like fun!


Zeus at home with big brother Jimmy.


Zeus at home with his Dad, Jim.
Looks like they're all leading a happy and active life!


Eliza on the left. Hondo on the right.
Greg & Sue brought Eliza to visit us and we took them over to a friends home that has three fenced acres.  Higgins, Eliza's best friend, enjoyed his run too.  He ran in the back field so I didn't get his photo.


Eliza on the Left, Hondo on the Right
Eliza came over to play with Hondo for a few hours.  Just getting to know each other again.


Eliza on the ground.  Max, our friends Schnauzer, ordering both 5 month old pups around!

"Riggs"
Enjoying the weather in Valencia, CA

Riggs taking a nap outside on the grass
in his backyard.   Look at that beautiful
long ridge.  He is a real nice pup.

Riggs inside and playing with
his "monkey."  Another view of
his ridge.

"Riggs" and his two best friends
Caroline and Audrey

Riggs and Caroline
Seems like she can do anything to him.
Caroline is very gentle with Riggs

Riggs playing in the baby's room.
Guess there's enough toys for both
Riggs and Audrey to keep them occupied.

Riggs and Caroline
call it a day and take a nap from playing.

Now it's time for Riggs to take a nap by himself on the leather couch.  One of his favorite places.  A true Ridgeback "couch potato."

"Hank"
Enjoying himself on the leather couch.  He sure seems to be living the good life.  Afterall, he does live an active life on the Malibu beach, in the boats, riding in the Gator, protecting the ranch and sleeping on the couch!

"Hank"
Just resting after walking on the Malibu beach.  Everyone there thinks he's a star - even the stars themselves!  Shirley McLaine thinks he's quite intriguing.  Wonder what his past life was like?

"Hank" on the skiff with his pal, "Terrington" and Mark.
They're heading for the boat.

"Hank" now on the boat with Julie.
He seems to love the boat trips on the ocean.

Triggerhill's Malibu Adventure - "Hank"
He is the white-pawed puppy sleeping on the left .
He went home to Malibu with Julie and
her granddaughter, Savanah.

Here Hank is licking Savanah's ear
and chewing on her hair!
These photos taken the day they went home

"Hank" with Julie and her grandchildren
riding in the Gator on their 14 acres in Malibu.

As you can see, "Hank" also sleeps in the Gator.
He is one flashy Ridgeback puppy!

"Hank" enjoying the good life on
"his" ranch in Malibu!

Time for a break.  Ridgebacks do love to drink out of fountains, he comes by this naturally as Tori drinks out of every fountain she gets close to!

Triggerhill's Action Adventure - "Zeus"
With one of his new playmates, Catie.
They went home to LaMirada on 5-18-07


Zeus is so happy to see Catie.
Dad, Jim, wants to work Zeus in agility.
Catie may want to show - but mostly
Zeus will be their household companion.

"Zeus" and Catie playing around the pool.
He seems to be living the good life!

"Zeus" loved by Catie and the rest of the family.
He'll be going to kindergarten classes at

Triggerhill's Scout Adventure - "Scout"
On May 19, he went to his Palos Verde home with
Don, Deanna and Charlsey (14 yr. old daughter)
And by all reports is doing great!

When we saw this license plate we knew these people would be getting a puppy.  They also have a 4 yr. old spayed Ridgeback, Jesse,  trained in agility and therapy work, we're hoping Scout follows in her pawprints.

The other part of the family is "Higgins"

She went to her new home Ontario, CA  5-20-07

Triggerhill's Mountain Adventure - "Riley"
Riley is being loved by Debbier and Mike of Carlsbad, CA  They took him home on 5-20-07.

Riley with Debbie & Mike's 2 yr. old grandson, Charlie.  Wonder how they got them to both sit still that long?  Riley is one handsome boy - so is Charlie!


"Riley"
He's growing and loves to play.

"Riley"
Is he praying or looking at a bug?

"Rita" moves right in and takes over "Kimbu's" bed!
These dogs have a wonderful home and fenced
2-1/2 acres to play and run in.

A close up of Rita on her bed.
You may remember Rita as the puppy with
lots of white hairs on her body;  well they're mostly gone
and she is a gorgeous red wheaten with a shiny coat.

"Rita" outside by the plants.
She starts Puppy Kindergarten classes
next Monday, July 30.

"Rita" checking out the plants on the porch
while "Kimbu" watches.

It's been a big day and Rita has decided to take
a nap on the landing - apparently one of her favorite spots.
