Earning her Novice Draft Dog title on her first try.


    Sprite was chosen as a potential competition puppy as well as hopeful brood bitch.  She certainly has fulfilled both hopes!!  She is nothing if not playful!  Always ready to go and a very quick study, she has very easily earned her starter titles in obedience, rally and agility.  She has already accomplished so much for such a young pup.  With very little training- not wanting to put too much stress on her still developing body- she has progressed beyond my expectations for any baby dog.  
    She is moderately built and is on the smaller end of the swissy bitch scale, height-wise, but is within the standard at 24.25 inches.  She has a short, strong back.  She is definitely a sturdy swissy!  Her head is very pretty with a lot of expression in her medium brown eyes.  Her coat is on the slicker side with dark grey undercoat on her body and some agouti on her neck.  She has nice, balanced movement with just enough extension and drive.  She is overall a very nice, well put-together girl.  Whatever this dog lacks in stature, she more than makes up for in go-get-'em attitude!!
    Sprite is well on her way towards her conformation championship with both major wins and 12 points...  can't wait to see what the future holds for this fun little swissy!  

**Sprite finished her Championship with 3 majors, always owner-handled.
​
Sprite produced 3 litters and a total of 25 puppies.  She is the dam to the NPR litter, the White Things litter, and the Great Scotts litter.
Sprite somehow pulls out another invitation to compete at Eukanuba for 2017!
Sprite has once again made the top 5 list and will hopefully head to Orlando for a final time in December 2016

Sprite receives her third invitation to the Eukanuba Agility Invitational, December of 2015
Sprite is once again invited to compete in Florida during the AKC Eukanuba Agility Invitational, December 2014!!
   Sprite ends the 2012-2013 year as the #6 swissy in AKC agility, while                                    whelping and raising 7 puppies!!!
