Temperament:

"Kaleb" - Sprite's Knickknack at Fanfare IPO2 VPG2 - Kaleb is a wonderful dog on many levels. In addition to being a competitive schutzhund dog, he is a kind and stable dog; a pleasure to all who have a chance to interact with him. Kaleb shows many of the best qualities of both of his parents; excellent energy and drives for work, yet calm and easily managed in life. He has focus, trainability, intelligence, athleticism, high play drive, courage and sociability. He is clear headed and easy to handle. Kaleb is not aggressive towards animals or humans. His bite is hard and full for schutzhund and he shows excellent speed and confidence in his work. Kaleb is also a very handsome young dog, with a lovely, masculine expression and an athletic body. As a very nice bonus, his littermates and parents show similar qualities, suggesting that he will be likely to produce it in his offspring as well.

Kaleb was the highest scoring protection dog at 2011 AWDF national championships at two years of age; an amazing accomplishment. His littermates include Gracie and Kira; both girls consistently score in the 199 range in AKC obedience at only 2 years of age. In addition he is the brother of Kaptain, a certified SAR dog in Canada. Kaleb and his littermates represent Sprite dogs at their finest; highly driven, easy to work and train, and a pleasure to live with.

Structure and Overall Appearance:
Kaleb is 25" tall and weighs approximately 60 pounds. His angulation front and rear is moderate and balanced. Bone is medium. Coat quality is excellent with a deep red base color and correct texture and quantity. Kaleb's head is moderate (for a working dog) and he has an excellent expression.
