If there is such a thing as being soulmates with a dog, Tripp is mine. He is my "heart dog" and he is what inspires me to do what I am doing today in my breeding program. Aside from all of his success in dog sports and producing some amazing offspring he truly a special dog. He is calm and quiet and unassuming but I KNOW that if I were ever to be threatened in his presence he would be the first to step up and protect. 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 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 very 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 has produced just over 150 puppies in which there have been very few health concerns. Yet, statistically it is near impossible to produce that many dogs and not have something come up. I post this hear in an effort clarify any questions that may revolve around this. In the offspring Tripp has sired there have been four with seizures. Three are from the same breeding (which was repeated 4 times) to Hiq Tribble and the fourth to Quicksilver's First Light .
Tripp is available at stud on a limited basis to approved bitches.
