Here are some pics of our beloved Monty! What a great dog he is! He is very patient and loveable with the kids! The last pic is of him at obedience training..........he doesnt really love doing that ....... he does great at it - but only because he loves being with me. He would rather be home on the farm!

What a wonderful dog he is!! THE BEST!! Monty just finished his AKC CD obedience title this weekend!!! SEE WHAT A RESCUE DOG CAN DO!!! ...I wonder every day if whoever gave this wonderful dog up, realizes what a mistake they made and how much they gave up. We are truly blessed to have him!
