Born on September 6, 1999, Rio is a Bounder x Ciara son. Typical of his lineage, he matured slowly and although he picked up points from the puppy class we let him grow up before coming back out and finishing at 3 years of age. At 25.5 inches and 86 lbs he is a little over standard size. His colour is called a Silver and White. Rio is highly intelligent and loves to work and be challenged. He regularly goes for fun runs in harness, and is a proven weight puller, having pulled a personal best of 23.75 times his body weight in competition (inside venue on carpet). He has been training for obedience with the goal of being able to compete in rally competition. Our only obstacle to success will be time to work on training. He has the sweetest temperament, is a terrific influence on our young adults and is just a cool dog to be around.
