Cara

Jasper has enriched my life extremely and is just fun every day. When it became clear that Jana was planning a repeat litter, it was clear to me that I simply HAD to have a puppy there! I had quite precise ideas about my second dog from this mating. Basically, I wanted a copy of Jana's Kirke and was allowed to choose the puppy. And what can I say, I got it! Even Jana is amazed every time how similar the two bitches are!
 
Cara moved in on 04.01.2020. She has been with us since day 1, cheerful, self-confident and playful. A little angel with teeth. We affectionately call her "Cara the Cat" or "Dogzilla".
 
Cara has two completely different faces.
In everyday life she is an extremely uncomplicated and balanced dog who can cuddle on my lap for hours or just sleep while I go about my household things. She never demands attention or work unnecessarily, but is an extremely undemanding and calm bitch.
Outside and in training she is EXTREMELY eager and fast, always absolutely clear-headed and extremely cooperative. She works equally for food or prey and you can switch from one to the other during training without any problems. She learns new exercises incredibly quickly and hardly needs any repetitions until they sit perfectly. Of my dogs, she is definitely the most intelligent!
She has an incredible on-off button that you can switch by the second. She has a strong body awareness and therefore never runs the risk of unintentionally hurting herself, which could well mean death on hikes in the mountains, for example, given this dog's high basic speed.
Cara is always upbeat and eager to please, a real little sunshine with a Ferrari engine!

Cara comes from very successful, stable working lines.
