About Doreen (aka Dory)

This is Doreen (aka Dory, daughter of Halor and Terry). Dory has decided to not matriculate into CCI's Advanced Training next weekend and instead has taken the "early out" program due to her extreme allergy to bee stings. Dory has been raised by and now lives with Lynn and Fred who are 3 time puppy raisers of "Daniel Dogs." They have raised several other successful pups but I tend to concentrate on the ones I really know. We had planned to travel to San Diego (and Oceanside) to see Dory matriculate, but since she is not, we are still planning to travel to San Diego to attend graduation - but we'll make it a fun-filled and exciting dog extravaganza. I'm pretty sure we'll be meeting up with famous blogger "Irish" too! Dory has been working very hard for the San Diego Police Department and the DA's office helping children who are victims or involved in heinous crimes. In this photo, Dory is in the children's waiting room at the courthouse. Lynn reports that she does her best work here.

Dory has become quite the model - as you can see, opting in at any opportunity to pose in a beautiful setting. Lynn reports that this was another of the freak snowstorms in the mountains about 30 minutes from her house (which is just east of San Diego).

Pictured here, are Naya (rhymes with Hey-a) and Dory in the snow. Naya is Natoma's sister from Piniella's third litter by Gibson. Naya was released for a congenital kidney condition but is doing beautifully in Lynn and Fred's care. Lynn and Fred also raised Elsey from Piniella's fifth litter by Terry - Elsey is a service dog in San Diego.

After her medical release, Dory plans to keep working for the police department and the DA's office. I believe she has become such an important part of the children's program that they don't want her to stay home from work. No early retirement for her! Rumor has it that she enjoys swimming, travel, and long walks on the beach in her spare time.
