Foundation Females:
MACH ADCH Sprite’s Haute Volée UD
“Wings”
Wings (23″ and 50 lbs) is our foundation female, a seasoned veteran of four European Open agility events (in the finals every year but one) and an alternate on the AKC Agility Team to the FCI Agility World Championships in 2012. Outgoing and demanding attention, she has been a wonderful ambassador for the breed in her many European adventures. “The smartest dog I’ve ever worked with” says Rob, which Wings demonstrates not just with her agility achievements but with her many tricks, canine freestyle techniques, and the AKC Utility title (UD) she earned before she was 2 years old. She has excellent front and rear angulation and medium bone, traits which — along with her passion, her affectionate nature, her curly tail, and her tendency to vocalize on course — she’s passed on to her offspring.

D’Air (21″ and 40 lbs) is above all confident, happy, and unflappable. Nothing ever worries her, and — her tail always wagging — she loves every person, every dog, and everything about life. Her favorite sport is IPO — stick hits, far from intimidating her, turn her on! — and her
least favorite is tracking (insufficiently exciting). She’s a great mom, calm and attentive, and we’ve been very pleased both by the outstanding structure and the social, affectionate, biddable nature of the pups she’s produced.
