Pedigree: Nordic Teal Sappi

Caspar is currently available to the right home—but what does that really mean? He’s a high-energy, but very loving boy, ready to be your partner in crime for anything you want to do! Caspar loves the outdoors whether it's hiking, snowshoeing, backcountry skiing, or just exploring the world together, Caspar is always up for it. He has excellent recall, is off-leash trained, and loves being right there with his people no matter the activity.

At home, Caspar is happy snuggling on the couch for nightly belly rubs. He’s affectionate, sweet, and adores spending time with his humans. He’s also incredibly smart, eager to learn, and very trainable with a medium toy and food drive.

Caspar could thrive in a variety of homes—whether you’re looking for an active pet, a sport prospect, or a show dog (just one of these, not all!). He doesn’t need to be in a competitive home, but he absolutely could excel in one. He already has a great start in the show ring: he was Reserve Winners Dog at the FLCA National Specialty with a novice handler and currently holds 8 of the 15 points needed for his Championship title, with both majors completed. He’s an eye-catching, push-button show dog and could be a great fit for juniors or an owner-handler. Finishing his Championship is a must (by you, me, or Alexis), but beyond that, there’s no pressure to continue showing.

Caspar is very environmentally stable and does great in public spaces—he’s the kind of dog who can relax on an outdoor patio while you grab a bite to eat. Around cats, he can get excited and will try to engage in play. While he hasn’t shown inappropriate behavior, he does have a medium prey drive, so a home without small animals (or with clear management) is recommended.

The one area Caspar still needs consistent support with is crate behavior. He can be vocal—whining and barking at times—and while we’ve made significant progress, his next home will need to be committed to continuing that training.

A Few Important Requirements:
• Caspar must remain intact as he’s part of our breeding program.
• He’ll need to complete health testing at age 2 (this November). Costs are covered by us, but travel to a reproductive vet will be necessary.
• If you're local to Sacramento or Memphis, we’ll coordinate for breeding when needed (1–2 times a year max). If you’re not local, you must be willing to coordinate visits to a repro vet for breeding needs.
• His Championship title must be finished. If it isn’t completed before he goes to his new home, he’ll need to come stay with me or Alexis for a few weekends to wrap it up.
