About Sparrow

Sparrow's pedigree, in my opinion, brings together the best of American and European breeding stock, with both of his parents holding show AND performance titles. This combination also gave him a better-than-average genetic COI of 24% per Embark (breed average = 26%).

Conformationally, Sparrow propels himself forward with a strong rear drive. He is a small-medium sized male, weighing in at about 75lbs. At the age of 9 months old, Sparrow brought home his first herding group win at a competitive show in Shipshewana, IN. Before his second birthday, he completed the requirements for his UKC Show Champion title and is actively showing towards his Grand Show Champion title.

Temperament-wise, Sparrow is truly outstanding. This boy is super outgoing to people and dogs--his co-owner boards dogs out of her home and Sparrow has made fast friends with the vast majority of these dogs, a trait that is unusual, although greatly appreciated, for a male shepherd. Sparrow has no environmental sensitivities and medium-high toy drive. This kid always has a stick in his mouth and loves to play with anything the people throw. He was also born with springs in his legs--boy can he JUMP!

Sparrow is co-owned with De'Aysia Todd.
