Forte exemplifies many of the qualities that we were shooting for in our first Sprite breeding: high trainability and desire to please coupled with strong, balanced drives, health, and handsome exterior. Forte has the distinction of being the first dog in his litter to title in Schutzhund, and the first dog of our breeding to compete nationally (AWDF and AWMA National Championships).
