Amber's brother Zak

This is Amber's brother Zak (Stillmoor Red Flame), who has just passed his level 2 Search & Rescue. He is now a operational search dog. He is a full brother to Amber, but from a different litter and only just over a year old.

Congratulations to his owners and trainers and to his breeder Paula Ackary, Stillmoor Border Collies.
