Finn is an extremely confident, biddable, rock-solid dog who loves everyone and everything. Finn truly has a temperament to die for, and makes us laugh constantly. He is quite the clown. He can go into any situation without issues or any signs of fear. He lives to please which is also what makes him such a perfect partner in sports and life. He's a workaholic and will work for me all day, never giving up, but is very resilient if he makes a mistake and is willing to try over and over again. He settles fabulously when it is time. The best thing about him is that not only is Finn successful in all he does, but he truly loves it all and has so much fun no matter what he is doing while always smiling in the process. (Agility, barn hunt, dock diving, scent work, frisbee, fastcat, etc). In conformation he achieved all his majors in ASCA, and is finished in both IABCA and UKC. Finn is the smartest dog I’ve ever known. He loves to learn and understands everything you say to him. He picks things up instantaneously and is a pleasure to train and live with. He carries moderate coat and has moderate bone. Finn has a lovely extremely efficient side gait and converges well in the front. He has beautiful balanced angles with a very strong top line, good strong shoulders with nice layback and length of neck and a lovely headpiece and ear set. He has a very athletic lean muscular body built for sports. He’s a bomb proof dog with high drive and is very stable with all the biddability, drive, intelligence and desire you could ever ask for with a fabulous off switch. He has an incredible sense of humor and loves to make us laugh. He has sired 9 litters with the most recent born August, 2022. Several of his puppies are in training for service work. Finn passes a lot of his brains, confidence, sweet nature, and work ethic on to his offspring as the older ones are all excelling in multiple venues and the younger ones are learning things at rapid rates.
