Laura deservedly has all the credit for what this beautiful animal is
accomplishing. A Co-owner that others dream about.
Boss (Not BOSS!<VBG>), is Fairhopes' PitBoss OFA (Sel CH Backacher's Ruggiero
v Milo OFA x Fairhope's FireDanceOFA) (AND YO"S litter Bro!)
I'm really getting eager to see what Boss is doing in both rings, and see his
