Maximus aka Mouse was born on June 4, 2002 to Ch Bluegrass Dixieland Lullaby CGC, TDI, HIT, ROM and BISS CH Rise and Shine's Blazing Riot, SMET, CGC, TT, ROM. Dixie and Blaze are both HUGE, magnificent creatures with awesome personalities.  Mouse is not only a beautiful working example of the breed, his temperament and personality are unsurpassed.  He has high working drive and is highly focused on the task at hand.  He's just an awesome dog. Mouse became an angel at 13 years, 7 months, and 1 day old, and we're very grateful that he worked until the end of his life and passed peacefully of old age.
