My perfect puppy! I don't have enough good stuff to say about this boy. He has been a breeze to raise, train and live with. Bokeh takes after his dad, Grit, and is one of those dogs who gets along with everyone he meets from kids to men, women and other animals. One thing I love is that he is just a little less ‘extra' and little more thoughtful than Grit which I'm sure comes from his mama, Nan. It's a really nice combination with his drives when he is engaged. He has taken to sheep training like a fish to water and wants nothing more than to do the right thing. He's not the least bit hardheaded; he keeps his cool, listens well and he is kind and honest with his stock. He could be a bit more brave and likely he's not cut out for being an “open dog” (nor am I cut out to be an open handler!) but that's not our goal. I appreciate his willingness to keep learning with me; he is often the teacher himself! Off the sheep he has outstanding drive for the disc and has done very well at the couple of UpDog trials we have competed in. Bokeh also easily earned himself a CGC and Trick Dog Intermediate titles when we took a couple classes to fill some down time in the evenings when he was a pup. 

As much as I adore this boy and he will forever be my buddy to do all the fun things with, he is not quite what I'm looking for in terms of breeding so he will be neutered in 2026.
