Fin AgCh EYEWITNESS SUNBORN "SPLIT"




DOB 4.3.2008, hips A-A, elbows 0-0, back & shoulders ok, CEA normal by parentage, eyes OK as puppy

Split is a red tricolour dog with a very distinct look, half of his face is white and he's got one blue eye, too. Split was the sunshine of the litter, he always seems to be smiling. Split was owned by Tiina Salonen (former Grönlund). Tiina sadly passed away after a difficult illness in August 2011. Tiina wanted Marko and I to take care of Split and we promised we would do that. So now Split is a part of our pack at home.

In agility Split is an extremely fast but still a perfectly obedient boy doing beautiful tight turns. Marko is now handling Split and they work very well together. Marko is honoured to be able to run with a dog that has been so perfectly trained by Tiina. Split gained his Finnish Agility Champion title in May 2011. Split is also a natural talent at sheepwork.
