Meet Jazz (Boomtown Jazz Ma Tazz, CGC, FGDCH; OFA Good). She is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier born in 1997. Jazz lives for flyball and holds the prestigious Flyball Grand Champion title. We recently made her retire at the age of 11 and she was not at all happy about the decision. In the fall of 2006, Jazz was diagnosed with liver failure and was not expected to live past February 2007. We did not give up on her and bombarded her with prayers, holistic supplements and special food. In July of 2007 (yes July!) we ran blood tests again to see where she was with her condition. Praise be, all the tests came back normal and the vet released her to "be Jazz" as only she can. Jazz's nickname of "Staffanator" has followed her through her racing career. She is known for regularly breaking the top boards on the flyball jumps; even the Sintra boards which are supposed to bend and not break. At home, Jazz loves puppies and children and will go out of her way to stop and see either of them. She also has an affinity for Jack Russells and would only allow the Jacks in the whelping room when she had pups. Jazz has her Canine Good Citizen title and points towards an AKC Championship, although she finds showing in the ring extremely dull.

R.I.P. October 1999 - January 2010 ---- You were my heart dog, PJ. May you have no more pain. I miss you.
PJ (Tempest Pagan In Pajamas, CGC, FMX; OFA Good). PJ is a female Staffordshire Bull Terrier born in 1999. She is blue brindle in color. She began her flyball career slowly, taking time out to have two litters of pups. PJ has earned a Flyball Master Excellent title and Canine Good Citizen title. We were very proud of PJ for the CGC because sitting and staying have never been her strong suits. PJ has many very terrier characteristics such as the yappy bark and high energy nature. Being very silly, mischievous, and extremely cute she has many nicknames, including "The Peej", "Peejers", and "PJ Roo". PJ is Alisa's right arm and soulmate, and can usually be found at Alisa's side. PJ is Klondike's sister and Phantom's mother.

Meet Klondike (Tempest Klondike Express, CGC, FGDCH; OFA Good, L2HGA Normal). He is a male Staffordshire Bull Terrier born in 1999. Klondike is laid back around the house but is a total yodeling fool at flyball. He currently holds the flyball title of ONYX and has more fans at the tournaments than Elvis had at his concerts (really!). Because of his hard-charging flyball performances, he has earned the flyball nickname "The Machine" and his handler preference is anyone female who adores the ground he walks on. Around the house our favorite nickname for him is "Klonnie Bear" because of his resemblance to a small polar bear. Klondike has points towards his AKC championship and was awarded "Best Puppy in Show" at a UKC show when only five months old. Klondike loves the springpole, frisbee and anything that requires him to go full tilt. He also likes to sleep on the bed at night with his butt on the pillows.

Meet Tempest F4 Fighting Phantom, CGC, FMCH, (OFA Fair) a/k/a Phantom. He is a PJ son born in June of 2004. He is quite the character and surprisingly different from all our other Staffies. He definitely has his Daddy's head which was one thing we aimed for out of that breeding. In mid-2005 Phantom was diagnosed with Valley Fever but has made great strides towards recovery. He enjoys running through the desert with the quads and will bark at us when we stop. He also likes rides in the car; especially if those rides end at flyball practice. He is a big talker and will "tell us" how happy he is at the drop of a hat. He also will sneeze on command and will do both talking and sneezing to extreme if you don't give him attention. Phantom has become an important height dog for our multibreed team and always races with gusto.

Meet Kimber (Volando Concealed Weapon at Tempest, L2HGA Normal). She is a female Staffordshire Bull Terrier born in 2009. She is Klondike's granddaughter and Jazz's great granddaughter. So far she's a very smart Monster. We love her and expect to have her in the AKC show ring and on the flyball field at some point in her future. At the moment, however, she's just entertaining for all of us. Not only has she proven to be fearless, she's also bold. She hopped into the hot tub and didn't panic when she went under. She really, really just wants to be with her people.
