Dauntless Greats
The foundation of Dauntless comes from a blend of old Ruffian and Rolls Expert lines. Some of our top dogs are BIS Ch Dauntless Hyperion of Intrepid (Dante); Ch Intrepid Nefertiti of Ironheart (Titi), Multiple BIS, BISS Ch Dauntless Hyperion's Diamond (Perry)- shown above; Ch Dauntless Barkley Indy Zimmer AX OAJ UD (Barx), Ch Dauntless Diamond Lil CDX AX AXJ RA (Lil), CH Dauntless Diamonds Are Forever RA CDX AXJ OA (Bond), and Dauntless Winter Stormwatch RN AXP AJP (Blizzie). These dogs represent multiple generations of Dauntless winners in obedience and conformation. They exemplify the Dauntless breeding philosophy - correct size, excellent temperaments and obvious breed type. I have worked closely with my puppy owners to further these principles and enjoy the excitement and fun of raising these wonderful dogs. Included below and on the next page are photos some of these wonderful Dauntless dogs. Please check out our recent winners in performance and conformation on the Winners pages (pp 6&&) and look at the photos of agility and obedience winners on pp 9 and 10. Enjoy!

Bond and Lil
Bond and Lil were from my first Perry litter. Their almost identical markings make them a natural brace - I show them in both conformation and obedience. My goal - UD's on both these sweeties. Lil needs one leg and Bond is ready to show. In the meantime, they share my couch with their grandmother, Ch Dauntless Intrepid Stormwatch CD NA NAJ RN - another great Dauntless dog!!

Titi - the Natural
Titi was bred by Linda Cooper and was my first real show dog. She did me proud, winning numerous group placements and two National Specialty Awards of Merit. This girl was bigger than life - loved by all humans, feared by most dogs! She lived on my bed until age 14 - I still miss her.

Ch Dauntless Barkley Indy Zimmer, UD, AX, OAJ (OFA good)
"Barx" Ch Dauntless Barkley Indy Zimmer UD AX, OAJ (OFA STA-718G24M-T) is black and white with lovely natural ears. He is a natural athlete and highly intelligent. At 20 inches and 65 pounds, Barx is able to easily leap 6 feet into the air as he chases his favorite indestructible (not!) ball. Barx's quality was recognized by judges - he finished in under 2 months with 4 majors when he was less than 2 years old. Barx was my first obedience and agility performance dog, and I learned a great deal from him. He has taken Titi's place as my "bed dog".

Dante
2008 was a melancholy year with the loss of both Titi and Dante - two great dogs. Ch Dauntless Hyperion of Intrepid was bred by Linda Cooper. He was a fun dog who loved children and enjoyed life to the fullest. He won a Best in Show and multiple group placements, an unusual feat for a small (18 inches) brindle dog without a lot of flash. But Dante's "flash" was his personality.
