Ripley

After Conner, Ripley was sure a suprise. My plan was to get a second dog to keep
Conner company, as he always enjoyed being with our friend's dogs and seemed
depressed after we left a group outing. So we contacted Conner's breeder to see if
she had anything available. It turned out that she had recently whelped a pet litter and
had one male available that she thought would be perfect for our household.

Ripley was a very stubborn pup. But after working out our communication system of
clicker training, he has turned into an amazing dog. He is willing to learn new things
and really enjoys the one on one training time with "mom."

Ripley comptetes in flyball and obdience, even showing up his older brother on
numerous occasions. He woud love to do herding, showing a great deal of natural
tallent. He has also become a very consistent and reliable flyball dog- coming a long
way from his initial idea that chasing the other dogs was the object of the game.
