Rip is a working-line German Shepherd selected for his biddability, athleticism, and drive. He is Health Tested. He is more than capable of producing pups that can excel in sport, work, and highly active companion homes. Rip demonstrates strong toy drive, environmental confidence, and a willingness to work work. He's a "go go go" type of dog who wants to work until his brain can't go no more (which is never). He is currently competing in AKC Fast CAT, and is actively progressing in the foundation skills for IGP as part of his continued development. Coming to me with foundation in all 3 phases, he will be starting back up shortly so we can solidify those skills and get him titled. I did add BCAT to his name, and that is because we have already entered in for a run on July 31st which is where he will get his title and ribbon his first run. By end of September we will be getting his DCAT! Rip is intended to complement females that share same priorities: Sound structure, stable temperaments, solid health, biddability, and functional ability. At this time he is NOT available for Stud until we get the following title: BH-VT OR IGP1, depending on how fast everything comes along for him. He will only be available via Artificial Insemination. Females MUST receive a Brucellosis within 28 days prior to their anticipated heat cycle. Hips, Elbows, and Embark are the bare minimum for testing. Will not stud out to a female who does not have at least a BH.
