Otis is handsome - no getting around that! He has a beautiful physique with a strong topline and a curvaceous underline. This boy's got guns! Not only is he physically beautiful to look at but he also has the sweetest temperament. Oh ya - and he's smooth too! We can't wait to see what he produces for us!
When I was looking for a new male to add to our pack, I had many criteria that he had to meet, but in particular ... I wanted a dog that was considered desert bred/descent, and I wanted a dog that could course. Rather than take my chances on a puppy, I was hoping to find something that already had some experience, or had parents/siblings who were proving their worth on the fields. Since we can't open field course in Canada, I looked to the US and was very fortunate to stumble upon Otis and his family who have, without a doubt, proven their mettle on the coursing fields of the western US. We are thankful to Warren & Vicky Cook (Santana & Cook PhoDOGgraphy) for allowing Otis to grace our lives!
Otis cannot compete in lure coursing or in the show ring in Canada as he is only a generation 2 desert bred. CKC requires 3 known generations before registration can be considered. His puppies, however, will be generation 3 and eligible for AKC/CKC registration! He has undergone a critique by the SPDBS committee and has his CRN.
We look forward to helping educate breeders and enthusiasts about this valuable COO resource!
