Doc had a long weekend at the IABCA show this weekend. We walked away with 5 V-1 (highest) ratings and Doc earned his International Championship!

Slide through to read judges comments about our boy, and a bonus picture of Doc doing what he does best. 😂

Looking forward to Day 2 with my very best show boy 🥰

In search of stud for Spring 2025 breeding:

We are looking for a stud for a performance-focused litter in 2025. Conformation is important, but we are specifically looking for a stud that has trialed and titled in SCENT WORK to advanced levels.

> AKC/UKC Scent Work, NACSW, Tracking, and BarnHunt titles preferred.

> IGP/IPO/PSA, Agility, or Obedience/Rally titles also desirable.

> Conformation titles (AKC/UKC) would be nice to have, but this is a purpose bred litter for sport so not a top requirement for titles we're interested in seeing.

Puppies from this litter will be scent conditioned from birth with the intention of most of the puppies going to performance homes. Both Co-Owners of the dam in question are heavily involved with Scent Work training and trialing (one of which is in the final stages of earning a judging license for the sport).

———
Health Test Requirements:

DM: CLEAR

ARVC 1: CLEAR

Preference for studs with passing OFAs on file, but if stud has passed or is 8+ years old, would like to see progeny with passing structural OFAs.

———

COLOR is immaterial. Fawn/Brindle Flashy/Plain — all will be considered.

Open to both European and American pedigrees.

Structural Preferences:
Square head with tight bite and upturn
Strong front

Temperament:
Lots of confidence
High biddability
Handler-focused
Food/Treat Motivate

Intended Dam:

Gambit’s adventures over the last few months!

We believe heavily in the benefits of early socialization and getting as many experiences in as possible during puppyhood.

Gambit has been on so many trips— in and out of state, visited with trusted friends and dogs, gone to events, shows, classes (Barnhunt was her favorite!), and has been taking it all in stride.

We are so appreciative of our friends in the dog community who volunteer their weekends to borrow a puppy and give them new experiences to help broaden their horizons. Gambit is well on her way to becoming another excellent doggy citizen and we can’t wait to see what all she achieves! ❤️
