~  "Wanted to share my excitement and great start with my new pup from the Lily x Arras litter. I haven't had so much fun with a pup for a long time.  He knows his positions, is already playing defense of the handler with me, outing and couche. Also very solid on his footing walking on a suspended bridge with gaps between planks of about 8" and just very athletic. His grips are phenomenal, full and hard. I just love his drives and desire and this is a pup that gets me pumped up to train.

The consistency of this breeding with their drives and heart is what I've been dreaming about. Love the outcome of this pairing. Wow, anyway not that I'm promoting, but when there's an outstanding litter with drives, drives, and desire, just got to talk about it".
