Profile of Puddle

Registered Name "Puddle Jumper"

Also Known As:

"Puddle/Puds/Muddle/Muds/Yo bro!"

* My mom is Ember. In August 2010, mom took 1st place at the Western Canadian Skyhoundz Regional Qualifier in the Expert - Open division. She earned a spot on Team Canada and travelled to Chattanooga, TN to compete against the worlds best disc dog teams from Canada, USA, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, and Japan.

*My dad is Riptide. He is a laid back kind of guy, but he also lives an active lifestyle. He is a recreational herding dog & loves to play freestyle disc.

* My intelligence and drive require obedience (puppy) training and plenty of interesting activity. Once I am given proper socialization I will thrive in a variety of environments, provided I have an adequate outlet for both physical and mental energy.

* I have the energy and stamina to climb mountains. I will be able to safely pack gear into the back country. I have the speed and dexterity to make things happen in a flash. I have the intensity and attitude of a true herding breed.

* Most importantly, I am a family guy. I hang out with 3 kids and get to play every day! :P

* They tell me I should grow to about 55-60 pounds.
