GRCH Poochville's Orlando NBT BIMBS
Our Cruz, GRCH Poochville's Orlando, has proven himself to the best foundation dog I could have asked or hoped for. He is now going on 13 years of age and is in excellent health and full of vim and vigor. He is an incredible companion and role model for younger dogs. Cruz has sired many top producing dogs. His grandson "Marti" was the first Rat Terrier to take Best of Breed at Westminster and took it the second year as well. His daughter Shevaun/ "Cruzin's Raven Irish Beauty" has carried his ability and produced many fine offspring as well. We are very proud and grateful that the Lord saw fit to give us the gift of Cruz almost 13 years ago. He has blessed our lives in untold ways.
We are so grateful to Julia Kleutsch of Poochville Kennels for this truly amazing dog. Cruz achieved his champion status in one weekend at just 8 months of age and he was Champion of Merit award winner at the UKC Premier in June of 2004. We then went on to Grand Champion Cruz in only three weekends of showing. He is the foundation of our line and a grand little dog with a gentle heart of gold. With the Lord's help this little dog has done more than I could have asked and hoped of him.

NUMBERS 14:14 And they will tell the inhabitants of this land about it. They have already heard that you, O LORD, are with these people and that you, O LORD, have been seen face to face, that your cloud stays over them, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of FIRE BY NIGHT.
I love this passage as it so beautifully illustrates the loving relationship that the Lord desires to have with His people if we will only follow and trust...He is so magnificent, so loving and so very GOOD...
*****MEET CRUZIN'S FIRE BY NIGHT aka RUGER****
Ruger is a dark exotic black/white/mahogany tuxedo male. We want to give the Creator God all credit due Him for His precious hand in creating this handsome dog. We also owe our dear friend Dr. Deb Tibbitts a HUGE thank you for partnering with us to produce this boy and his siblings. She did an AWESOME job!!!
Ruger is what I envision a quality Rat Terrier should be. He has solid structural integrity, which allows for lovely movement, and deep rich color genetics. Ruger is the wonderful and unusual blend of fire and sweetness, intelligence and devotion. Thank you for stopping by and seeing our boy.
God Bless!

6/7/2012 We took Ruger to Big Sky Animal Hospital in Great Falls. It's a very nice cutting edge veterinary hospital that performs ortho surgeries and many other specialty services. Ruger's patellas are rock solid and his heart is clear/normal. As well, his hip X-rays looked great. The doctor remarked repeatedly that she has NEVER seen Rat Terriers of such wonderful quality and such lovely temperaments. We're looking very forward to the quality puppies that Grace and Ruger will produce for us! Our veterinarian's website address is below: http://www.bigskyanimal.com

PSALM 84:11 For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. ****GRACE NOW LIVES IN TENNESSEE WITH HER BREEDER AT RAGANRAT KENNELS. SHE BLESSED US TREMENDOUSLY AND NOW SHE WILL BLESS DARICE'S PROGRAM AS WELL. JUST AS IT SHOULD BE****
We are really excited to introduce RaganRat Essence Of His Grace. Grace is just what I had hoped and prayed to find for my breeding program. This little girl was bred by my wonderful, long-time friend, Darice Ragan. Gracie is a lovely, classic, chocolate tri piebald. She possesses good breed type, solid structural integrity, a gregarious, balanced temperament and is just what we were looking for in a future brood bitch. I waited a long time for just the right Bailey pup and my patience has paid off. Grace's dam Matisse, her granddam Brandy and her great granddam Grace are all fantastic mothers and we believe she will be as well. We are enjoying her as a part of our family and she's moved right in and made her lil self at home! Grace has the most personality I have ever seen in a Rat Terrier!! She is so hilarious, NAUGHTY and fun!!!
Grace's sire GRCH RaganRat Bailey Boy is 11 years old, enjoys marvelous health, solid structure and a loving balanced temperament. He has sired many quality, healthy offspring. Gracie's dam, RaganRat's Matisse Masterpiece is a structurally sound, typey girl with a loving balanced temperament and solid health. I pled with Darice to do this repeat breeding and I am so thankful to her for granting my request. I'm just so grateful for my Grace...
We look forward to the beautiful and typey pups that Grace will produce with our Ruger. Thank you for visiting and have a blessed day!!
