Over the past year I have had the pleasure of working with, and being one of the main cheerleaders for, a few of the puppies being trained in Search & Rescue from the co-bred BasqueLaine-BigMtn Detectives litter. When Kelley asked if I was interested in doing a re-breed (resulting in the Explorers litter), my answer was a resounding YES! Like his older siblings, Braendon is everything I was hoping to get in a Brenner off-spring; plucky, confident, fearless, charming and happy, happy, HAPPY! He has discovered the power of the nose and is already doing puppy trailing problems and figuring out the fine art of telling me about the people he finds. Braendon's name translated from Irish Gaelic means "the mountain of Brendon". It is stated that Saint Braendon, "The Navigator" climbed to the summit of this Irish mountain to survey the lands before him before setting sail in 518 A.D. which eventually resulted in his discovery of Greenland. I thought myself lucky that I was able to merge my desire of naming my dogs after mountains along with Kelley's desire to have the puppies named after explorer's/exploration (however the spelling and pronunciation still needs practice!) to come up with his registered name. I am hoping that Braendon will be able to fill his daddy's big paw-prints to become our next multi-disciplined SAR dog. Like his older siblings he is proving himself to be a remarkable young lad more than fulfilling my expectations at such a young age. note: Braendon was diagnosed with non-inherited/non-congenital, trauma-related 7th Cranial Nerve damage at 4 months of age. This most likely occurred within 24 hours of birth with a misplaced step by either dam or siblings resulting in the bruising of the nerve that runs behind his left ear. The "lazy ear" on the left side, which gives him a perpetual inquisitive cocked-head/wide ear-set look is one of the side effects of CNVII nerve damage and is purely cosmetic in nature. Neurologists are optomistic however, due to the amount of improvement already exhibited, that the nerve has a very good chance at complete regeneration/recovery. Braendon's ear leather is erect, placement on head correct, however nerve involvement prevents him from pulling it completely up to the top of his head at this time which is affecting an otherwise nice, tight ear-set as possessed by his siblings.
