Introducing "Indigo" -  2x UKC Best in Show GrandChampion Spirit Rhapsody in Indigo
The most beautiful member of the Spirit family, she is our first homebred puppy. Born on February 6th of 2008, she was one of a spectacular litter of 7 pups.  She stood out from the rest with her balanced, light, consistent movement and carriage, her exceptional angles, both front and rear, and pretty head. She has a sweet, never scared attitude, with a little less get- up- and go then her mother,Spirit. We are very proud of our first puppy and look forward to her first litter in 
  Indigo's stunning father,  Am/Can/Int'l Ch. Degana Anything Will Do is oozing with breed type and soundness and has passed that on to Indigo. She has points towards her AKC conformation championship, but we decided that there was more to Indigo than growing hair. She finished her UKC Championship in one weekend. She has also shown high apptitude for retrieving/hunting, and tracking. When out with our trainer, she has high bird drive and loves to flush pheasants! She will continue to show in conformation, has some agility training, and will continue obedience and agility with her new family.
Indigo lives permanently with the Franklin family of minneapolis. She will stay in our breeding program.
