D'Argo

Willo'Wisp Ventura Farscape (named for a character off the series Farscape) is a Bi-Black Shetland Sheepdog from Ventura Kennels in New Hampshire. Thanks to Martha Heckman and her daughter Sarah Foy for letting us have this guy.

D'Argo came to us in November of 2000 and really is amazing. He is a quick study and really wants to work. However, D'Argo marches to the beat of his own drummer. He is very laid back and just goes at his own pace - and that is far from the Warp speed of his littermate, Scooter, who is owned by my sister, Elizabeth Krause, DVM. His lack of speed may prove to be a handicap in Agility. But he is accurate and willing.

D'Argo is superb with children and was the first the "Ambassadog" for the Safe Kids/Safe Dogs Project.

On April 8, 2002, he was on WTTG Fox 5 news with my son Connor and myself to talk about dog safety. As you can see, the cameras and lights really botherd D'Argo! He is just amazing and handles life well!

Laid back as though he may be, he will still take on his buddy Hunter in a rousing game of tug! The two have a passion for the game.
