In Loving Memory
Sting
Sting, as he was called (his official name was King) was Krista's first working German Shepherd, and the founding stud dog of Happy Valley Kennel. Sting was a gentle family dog and an accomplished Schutzhund competitor, earning his SchH I, II, and III titles under Krista's training and handling. In his later years, he became Jacob's first training dog, giving his young handler the opportunity to learn how to train dogs in obedience and tracking under the guidance of a patient and wise old canine friend. Sting's legacy will live on in the family-oriented nature of Happy Valley Kennel, in the hearts of the Wade family, and in the progeny he sired. We'll miss you, old friend.
