Silverback was born on my bed ... the last pup out of his mama (who I raised by hand) ... and in addition to being one of the best dogs I've ever had ... he was THE most obedient all around house dog I ever had ... and the last direct offspring of either Poncho, Missy, or Ruby ... so that was a hard call to make when I put him down.

I've owned and bred several hundred dogs over the years, and if I could only have 1 dog to keep as an all around companion, super-looking specimen, and consistent producer he would be it.

Poncho was a great dog, and superior to Silverback in some ways, but he was an absolute pain in the ass to own.
