Welcome to the forum. It's good to read the posts from breeders that appear here, because all your suggestions and information is welcome to all of us non-breeders.
Welcome and kudos to you for helping with rescues! It sounds like Kowboy was a great introuction to the breed. I'm sorry for your loss of him and Indy. this is a great place to share and keep memories alive. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a speedy relocation back to your family in CA!
