Sawyer is bred and owned by Mike & Heather Mabrey. He is from our Rosie/Huck litter and is a great example of how the Flying M and Dynasty bloodlines have come together beautifully. Under the guidance of Arvind DeBraganca, Sawyer finished his championship at just 9 months of age. He then returned back to the farm in Alabama to mature.
In April 2025, he returned to Arvind to prepare for his Grand Championship. In his short time showing in 2025, he finished the year in Orlando at Royal Canin with a huge Best of Breed win. He also finished #2 Breed and #3 All Breed.
2026 started out with some huge group placements as well as two RBIS's in Mississippi. Sawyer offers a nice strong topline, oval bone, a beautiful headpiece, correct front assembly, and nice rear angles. His structure results in a lovely, fluid side gait. Adding to his correct structure is his lovely temperament. He is a kind dog who just enjoys life and all those around him. He has developed into a crowd-pleasing showman. His bond with Arvind is very evident both in and out of the show ring. We are excited to see what the rest of 2026 holds for Sawyer and Arvind.
While Sawyer is being actively campaigned and is not standing at stud to outside females, his sire Huck remains available, along with Boone. Both boys are proven producers.
