The Dogs
The Dogs here are family members first and foremost. They live in the house and sleep on the sofa. We never place our adult dogs, they are members of our family forever. The dogs that you see on this page were all born here at Milbrose (with the exception of Beckett) and when they are ready to go off to the Summerlands they will leave from here as well with us at their side.
They are busy and we view training and proper behavior as an important aspect of our responsibility to them A well trained dog can do so many more things that other dogs can not do because of behavioral issues. Dogs do not live long enough and we want them to be able to participate in as many things as they can while they are here.
Sheldon and Polly are working on Obedience, Rally, Dock Diving, FAST-Cat, Scentwork and agility at this time and Maria is just about ready to go into the obedience ring and continue working on the next level of Rally and Dock Diving. Beckett, will be showing up in Canada soon and continuing to work on his obedience and of course lure coursing. Viviane is the latest addition to the family and is also hard at work. We will hopefully be adding a lovely boy from Marias second and final litter that is happening in early spring of 2027.
If you are interested in what the dogs are doing please follow us on social media. The link is on the HOME page. I promise to try and do a better job updating that.

Sheldon is a sweet, sensitive boy who is also very smart. He finished his Canadian Championship and has been focused on Rally and Obedience. He is not available at stud at this time as he does not have all of his health clearances but he is hopeful that someday he will be.

Viviane is the latest edition to the Milbrose clan. She is the daughter of Maria born on Mayday 2026 and she is everything that we wanted from this litter. She is very smart and has all the right angles in all the right places. She finished her CGC at 4 months of age and is currently working in tracking, rally obedience and standard obedience as well as conformation. She is a rockstar, not only does she have amazing drive but she is biddable and sweet to boot.

This is Polly, she is the head of the dog household, she is definitely our top dog. She is smarter than any dog I have ever known. She is the classic golden retriever, ready to go when I am ready to go and very happy to lay on your lap and chill. Because of COVID, Polly did got get the training she needed to have many titles after her name. She is working in obedience and rally at the moment.

Louise is our happy happy girl. She is mostly interested in doing things her own way, at her own speed, in her own time. I have done several heeling patterns by myself while she sat watching me at the start. Right about the time I felt that she was solid enough to enter her in a trial again Covid hit and our plans were dashed. She is the mother of Polly and Curb and is now happily living the retirement life.

Curb is our special boy. He was never meant to stay here at Milbrose. I had a great home lined up for him but sometimes there is a puppy who just can't leave, and Curb was that puppy. We had noticed that he had a very odd shaped head as a infant. This was the first time I had done a breeding using an "American Style" dog so I thought ok, perhaps it is just a stage that these dogs go through that I am not used to. As he got older his head became increasingly odd, his eyes were not set properly and I was fairly certain he had vision issues. I took him for an eye exam and while there was nothing structurally wrong with his eyes, we do know that Curb does not have great vision or depth perception. He does have repetitive behaviors and does not like change at all. That having been said he is the most affectionate dog in the house and I thank my stars that he stayed here with us.
Beckett
Ch. Sarea Treacle Tart at Milbrose CGC, BCAT, JC
Clearly Beckett is not related to anyone but he is the Best Friend of Sheldon, Maria, and Viviane.
Beckett is our first Saluki but most definitely not our last. While he is quirky and a bit frustrating at times, he is the coolest guy. At this time he has finished his AKC championship and will be heading up to Canada to show there for a while. He is also working on Rally, Fit dog, Trick titles, coursing and some basic obedience.
