Derby’s temperament is impeccable, she’s kind to everyone and especially enjoys children, but her focus is very much on her human partner. She loves training with her partner and has shown to several titles, with plans to compete for her CDX in the near future. Derby is great with other dogs, intelligent and wanting to please, has no health issues, and has never had a hot spot or day of lameness in her life. Her pedigree is excellent for health and longevity, as well as intelligence and trainability. Derby’s sire, Matthew, is a conformation grand champion with a utility title (the highest level of obedience) as well as other working titles. He is still being shown at 9 years old and is gorgeous. Matthew’s dam was an obedience and conformation champion as well, and is just one aspect of the reason this pedigree is strong for beauty and brains. And Derby’s dam’s side of the pedigree has incredible longevity. Derby’s maternal grandsire is a well known Canadian stud, Major, with excellent health and longevity, who is still alive today at 15 years old. Derby’s maternal grandmother is still alive at 16 and in excellent health. We are really excited to have a bitch with such good longevity in her lines, and we’ve been thrilled with the type and intelligence of the puppies Derby has had so far.
