Blue, (aka Blooper or Bluedog) did wear the blue collar as a puppy, but was named Blue because in this "Desert Litter" he was Desert Sky......which we all know is mostly blue.

This boy started his show career at 6 months and 6 days, going Winners Dog at his first two shows for two back-to-back majors, and he has never let us down since.

After multiple Specialty wins and Bests in Show, and ranking in the top three gordons in the country for four years in a row (shown exclusively by Joyce Standish and Regina Maxwell), Blue is now retired.

And loving every minute, sleeping in the big bed with his own pillow.  He is my buddy, knows when I feel sad, or when I feel silly, and acts accordingly.  He enjoys hanging out with his mom Ripley - respecting her age.  He plays with his granddaughter Java - teaching her to respect his age.
