I'm not very good at these written desriptions so please bear with me. Steel started showing just a few days after he turned 6 months in a regional specialty, There he won best puppy in a specialty show He took his Canadian Championship at 10 months, taking nothing short of Best in Breed on his journy. Steel then took a trip with my daughter and was shown at 2 shows in the states and managed to rack up 5 points., with 1 major. He has 2 legs of his CD, and has been temperment tested and his herding instinct. We also put a CGN on him because it's a fun thing to do. Steel carries the black factor but not coat. He is an intellegent boy who also doubles as my seizure alert dog. He will normally let me know 3-4 minutes before a seizure hits. I am currently working on getting him certified as my service dog. More than once he has pulled me out of the road. His breeder once described him as soft, but he isn't. He does have a sweet easy going nature, when he is not needed, but will raise to the occasion if the situation demands it. Steel has produced 2 litters. The first litter has an INT CH, several obedience titled dogs, tracking, herding, a certified service dog. The second litter has 5 pups that will be shown this coming August. All his pups are quite dark, have good rear, and nice movment. along with tight ear sets, ears are normally up by 5 weeks and stay up even through teething. Steel has his OVC on hips and elbows and has been tested clear having or carrying Cord1 - PRA CNM CT Cyclic neutropenia Cystinuria Factor VII Hemophilia B Hereditary Cataract Hereditary Nephritis NCL NE PDP1 PFK PK PRA RCND vWD vWD Type I vWD Type II vWD Type III ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
