Update Summer 2024: We made the very difficult decision to wash Flicker from our breeding program. Despite her many incredible qualities and our deep affection for her, Flicker has what we consider to be a “borderline” temperament and this is something we are not comfortable reproducing. Flicker will remain a cherished member of our family, and continues to impress in her sports and K9 SAR training. Flicker will be spayed in the winter.

Flicker joined our pack in March 2022. She was bred by Cruzyn Mudi in Oregon, and she has many accomplished American and Hungarian dogs in her pedigree. Flicker’s sire, Kilo, is a search & rescue Mudi in Alaska, and her dam, Flash, is a US conformation champion who also performs in agility and obedience.

Flicker immediately made a place for herself at Thanagar as the “wild child” – she never stops moving! This dog oozes drive and brains, and she will throw herself into any fun activity. Flicker took to both dock diving and disc quickly, but her primary “job” is search & rescue training. Flicker is training on human remains detection (both land and water) and we hope to certify her by late 2024 for deployment into the field.

Flicker is a bit taller than our other females, but very light on her feet and incredibly athletic. She has a goofy, playful disposition and is very friendly with people once she’s had time to warm to them. She’s excellent with other polite dogs and loves hiking and swimming. Flicker is very mouthy, and LOVES to tug – it’s her favorite thing ever. Stay tuned for more as Flicker matures into the graceful lady she will become!
