"Kobe" is from our first litter of puppies, he immediately captured ours hearts.  He is “The typical Springer … friendly, eager to please, quick to learn and willing to obey.”

At the Portland National in 1999 Kobe was too young to exhibit so he watched from the side lines.  When out in the field he came alive and it was apparent that this was his passion.

Kobe entered his first show at six months, earning a five point major from the GLVESSA Specialty show weekend.  He finished his Championship while still a puppy adding Best of Breed wins and a puppy group 1st to his credit.

Kobe progressed to agility and obedience training.  He is a clown, with his unique style of jumping and course running, he steals your heart.  Kobe has decided that obedience is more fun if you make the spectators laugh. . . hmmm, enthusiasm, discipline?
