 Ledoux Aussies welcomes “Hazer”, Vaquero’s Helluva Hazer. Many thanks to Ken and Debbie Lyle of Vaquero Aussies, ASCA HOF Kennel #35, for sending me this special boy!

Hazer was bred to be a versatile, working dog. His sire, HOF Misty Ridge Nitro STDs RTDc “Nick” lives in Canada on a ranch. Nick, OFA Good, Elbows Normal, and Cerf, is an outstanding cattle dog. Hazer’s dam, HOF WTCH Vaquero’s Silver Belle, HRD IIs, JS-O RS-O TN-N CL 2-R CL 2-F earned 2004 ASCA Nationals High Combined Open, and placed 8th MVA. Belle is OFA Good, and Cerf. All four of Hazer’s grandparents achieved HOF, as did six of his eight great grandparents.Hazer’s paternal grandsire, “Wolf”, WTCH 45 Ranch Wolf PATDcs RTDcs earned 1999 ASCA Cattle Champion, and 1999 ASCA High Combined Finals Champion. Wolf was bred to “Buff” WTCH Bar LW Miss Red Spur RD.

Hazer’s maternal grandsire, “Tag”, WTCH Deharo’s Shaman of Vaquero PATDc RTDc earned 1998 ASCA Cattle Champion. Tag was bred to CH Starswept’s Hifalutin of Hisaw. Hazer arrived from Oregon at 4 months of age, and did great on the long flight. It was LOVE at first site. He’s my Hazer Hound!!!!Hazer was initially a bit reserved compared to my other dogs; though after attending a few agility trials, he’s as outgoing as the rest, just better mannered!   Everyone loves Hazer, as he’s adorable. It’s that sweet face!!!! Shamie and Hoo have found a new playmate, and even Scamp gave up the cold shoulder after two months!

Hazer is a “people” dog, very focused, not easily distracted. He is very agile and athletic, and gives Shamie a run for her money with his airborne leaps, going eye level on all fours!

Hazer earned his CGC at 10 months of age, is currently training in agility, and entered his first trial in March of 2009. Hazer and I will also be taking weekly lessons on stock starting this spring. Hazer has tons of drive, can be a bit of a “pistol”, yet has a nice off switch, and is always ready to go when I am! He is so much fun to work, and tries very hard to please! I am excited starting our performance career!!!!!!!!

Hazer enjoyed a three day stock seminar this summer.

Hazer earned his first agility title, NADAC Novice Tunnelers on July 4th, 2009!  On September 12th, 2009 Hazer debuted in ASCA agility, also his first time running standard classes.  Hazer earned High In Trial Novice Dog with four 1st places, also earning his Novice Jumpers Title! Hazer earned ASCA Certificate of Merit # 9 Novice Jumpers Dog for 2010!!!!!
