Viper (retired)

Viper is a very bright, high drive, independent dog from our Verona x Chester litter. We did not originally intend to keep a puppy from this litter as we were hoping to keep a chocolate puppy from Verona’s next litter, but Viper was too special to resist. From a young age, she had the most intelligent, focused ‘Keep Me!’ eyes. As a stand-out puppy in an exceptional litter, we are excited to see what the future holds for this little smarty pants.

Viper is training for agility, rally, dock diving and nosework and is doing very well – she has earned her C-WAGS scent patrol title and WON the BC Championship semi-pro X-treme Air dock jumping competition with a personal best jump of 18’9″ on her debut weekend of dock competition. Viper continues to progress in dock diving, and in 2017 was handled to several new personal bests including a 6’2″ in high jump and a 7th overall finish overall at the Canadian Championships. In 2022, as a veteran, Viper earned a 2nd place at the Canadian Regional Championships in Veteran Senior Distance, and first place in Novice Hydrodash! Viper is probably best known for her wonderful social temperament with both dogs and people and her ultra keen nose. She has siblings titled and/or excelling in training for rally, obedience, agility, field trials, hunt tests and search and rescue.

Viper has had two litters sired by Harvey, and two litters sired by Buzz. Her puppies have proven to be diversely talented, good natured, super athletic puppies with high drive and an excellent off switch. We have seen a number of them set records in dock diving and they are showing up on top rankings for agility in the US and Canada. Viper is now retired from breeding but will continue to pursue her other interests!
