Zander

Zander

Zander was “green boy” from the Songs of Our Parents litter and his name is a combination of his parents (Zuko x Gander). Zander is a big, sweet teddy bear who adores his large family. He is incredibly in tune with everyone, and his relationship with each of them is unique and special, although he’s definitely a Mama’s boy! If one of his “kids” get upset, he’s been known to lick them crazily until they are happy and giggling. He just needs to know that everything is okay with his family.

Zander was and continues to be relatively simple to train. He is quite willing to please and loves knowing he’s done a good job for his people. Zander is quite confident and is a serious worker, as evidenced each and every day at “work”, where he keeps all the pups in line at the daycare that his parents own. He is surprisingly agile and has a medium energy level.

Zander has been shown in conformation by his “sister”, and it is very obvious that he genuinely loves it. He shines in the ring and moves beautifully. He became a Champion in May of 2019 and Grand Champion in August 2019. He also earned his CGC title in September 2019.

At only 2 years of age and having only finished his Championship in August...Zander won several big breeds wins and made it into the Top 20 for 2019!

Zander didn't get to show much in 2020 due to COVID - but, Kelly and him rocked the specials ring in 2021 earning his Bronze Grand Championship and finishing up the year as #17 breed (with 92 breed points). At the 2021 GSMDCA National Zander made it to the final cut in breed and also made it to the final cut at the Independent Specialty following the National. We were also thrilled and honored for him to be awarded '2019 Top 20 People's Choice Award'. Kelly and Zander also earned their rally novice title in 2021. Looking forward to the continued success of this special team!
