Timberline Paws Breeding Males
Ace : We are saddened to say we lost Ace in the spring of 2014, but wanted to leave him on the website as he is the father/grandfather to a couple of our females. He was an amazing dog with the sweetest of personalities. He had a champion bloodline and was shown in the show circuit for a couple of years before he came to Timberline Paws.
