"Valor" is an exciting sire that we imported from Katrine Rahe in Denmark as a pup. We watched his dam, Snjös Blue Deera HXAc, compete in the Advanced class at the 2012 National Specialty, where she went Reserve High In Trial. Valor has proven to be a powerful sire, producing progeny much like himself-confident, easy going and very trainable. A pup from his first litter, Spader I Found My Thrill UD CDX PCDX BN GN RN IPOBH HIC DS (owned by Terri Miller), won Obedience High In Trial at the National Specialty not once, but twice! Valor really stamps his pups with great minds, powerful working style, great conformation and the ability to always be in the right place at the right time. Valor also has sired ACDCA National Specialty Course D High In Trial, Reserve HIT A Course, and is a grandsire of herding high in trials and the 2024 & 2025 National Champion in obedience. We are increasingly seeing other breeders use Valor due to his ability to consistently sire some of the best dogs in the breed. Now at 14 years of age, he's sound and in wonderful shape and continues to shape our program.
