Breeding Program
Exciting 2009 breeding plans!
We have two exciting litters planned for 2009! See our Current Plans page for details on our planned breedings of Lyric and Raika.
Newsflash: Lyric whelped the "K" Litter on March 25, 2009!
Newsflash: Our trip to France paid off--Raika whelped the "J" Litter on March 5, 2009!
Given the qualities apparent in our early litters, our kennel is starting to realize several of our initial goals in breeding Tervuren.
We have produced multiple Schutzhund-titled dogs who can compete and win at trials around the country. These dogs are mentally stable and love to work in almost any working sport. We've also produced MACHs, world class Dock Diving dogs, and high caliber partners across the spectrum of performance sports.
We are now looking several generations into the future to reach our breeding goal: uniform litters of stable dogs that excel in all working sports.
At Sprite Tervuren, we breed with considerable care and thoughtfulness; each litter is planned, and there are few of them. Realizing the grand plan of exceptional working dogs takes patience and time, and depends heavily on careful placement of our puppies in the right homes.
All puppies produced at Sprite are eligible for AKC registration. We have made a commitment to locate and import or breed to working Tervuren from working Malinois lines that are properly registered as Tervuren in FCI-member countries. Even as we develop into a distinct line producing working Tervuren in the United States, we will always seek to infuse our breeding program with the best working Tervuren from Europe to maintain genetic diversity and continually improve our breeding program.
