Tripp is my "heart dog" and he is what inspired me to do what I am doing today in my breeding program. He is truly a special dog. Often described as a "perfect gentleman", Tripp has a friendly, outgoing personality and bomb proof temperament. Tripp gets along great with all dogs, people and other animals. I have honestly not met very many dogs with a disposition as stable as his. He is a very easy dog to live with but has just the right amount of drive to make him a very successful sport dog. Tripp began his performance career at just 8 weeks old doing a Canada Day demo in Toronto with the Nutram Performing Dogs team. Tripp has also appeared on Breakfast Television several times and is featured on the packaging for Purina Lamb and Rice Dog Chow.
Tripp consistantly runs in 3.9-4.0 in start position at Flyball with his best time ever being 3.79! Tripp is an awesome Disc Dog and has won several competitions across Ontario and in the US. At home Tripp is often found sleeping upside down on the couch with his legs straight up in the air. His favorite thing to do in the whole world is swim... sometimes getting him out of the water can prove to be a challenge! One of his other pastimes is visiting nursing homes, hospitals and hospices as a certified therapy dog. Tripp is my constant companion and is always by my side or at my feet no matter where I am.
Tripp measures in at 19" tall and weighs 34 lbs. His compact build allows for a lot of speed, power and agility. For a male he is on the smaller side and could use more substance overall but has a well balanced body and no major structural flaws. He has put multiple OFA Excellent hip ratings on his offspring and passes along his even, stable temperment to his kids. His offspring have proven themselves in all areas including Agility, Flyball, Herding and Obedience.
Tripp is retired and no longer being used at stud. We are grateful for all of the wonderful kids he has given us and look forward to enjoying many years of watching his kids, grandkids and even great great grandkids make him proud!
