Pronto is my dream dog (Lock- Eye Evel Knievel CGC, NA, NAJ). He is a Brick and Patches son born in Sept 2003. I was very blessed to be able to have first pick of the two litters Michelle had at the time, and I feel like I got the perfect dog for me! Thanks to all those who counseled me on how to pick a dog with the characteristics that I wanted. I got them all by the way! My two trips to OK to find this dog paid off.
With out knowing it, I have been preparing for Pronto for the 8 years I've been doing agility. I thought I was ready for him many years ago, but now I know I was not! He is everything I have dreamed of and wanted for myself. He is intelligent, intense, biddable, social and has all the drive to work in the world. Not to mention he is gorgeous:. I don't know how to explain it other than to say that I have been accustomed to agility Volvo's and Pronto is an agility Corvette… Anyway, we were forced to take agility training very slowly due to my pregnancy during his first year of life. I do believe that this was a good thing for Pronto and I! My daughter is his best bud and boy is he cute with her. Out of all my dogs, he is the one who wants to be in my lap. I do believe I have seen this cuddle trait quite regularly in Michelle's dogs. One of his best qualities is that he can go from full intensity in play to snuggling up and kissing in an instant if asked to, and then it's right back to work. His toy drive is exactly what I wanted as well. It was there from the time I met him at 7 weeks.

Right now we're showing in AKC Open (we need one more Standard leg but Jumpers is another thing all together:) and have done a few USDAA trials (he has a bunch of legs in Novice). My focus has not been on Qualifying, but on keeping his hydraulic rear end on the line! He is the most enthusiastic dog I think I know! We're looking forward to the rest of this spring/summer showing and then we'll have to take another break for another human baby! On the advice of several of those "in the know" we are contemplating hitting the breed ring, but we shall see…
I thank Michelle for breeding such a lovely boy. He just might be my once in a lifetime dog! My husband seconds that!
