Titles: Canine Good Citizen, Therapy Dogs International, WGSDCII Altered Champion, Herding Instinct Tested. This eye-catching boy turns heads everywhere he goes, winning hearts as he proudly remains a wonderful example of his breed, his breeding and his heritage. Baer earned his CGC and TDI at the 2006 WGSDCII National in Arizona. At the 2008 National, Baer earned his WGSDCII Altered Championship and was Best in Veteran Sweepstakes. This year, Baer was herding instinct tested, and while he gave both the sheep and the testers a workout, he passed with flying colors. Baer works hard doing his part in our rescue program; his steady, sound temperament has been a valuable asset to us in evaluating and retraining rescued dogs. At 10 years of age, with sound body and mind, Baer is still the best K-9 pal you could ever hope for.

He only started training for rally obedience in January of this year and earned his very first rally title at his first trial weekend in April.

He finished his WGSDCI Championship at the 2008 National Show weekend and finished his UKC Championship in October 2008. Spirit is very masculine and powerful but is also affectionate and personable and has a superb temperament. He can be a little hard-headed at times. Probably gets that from his mom Dynahmite who was appropriately named. He is also a very silly boy sometimes, thus he has earned the nickname "Bo-Bo" which is not too unlike his sire's nickname of Boo-Boo.
