About Cyrus
Cyrus is a very well proportioned and balanced boy, who was a bit slow to
mature but blossomed beautifully once he did. He has beautiful reddish fur
with black tips, an excellent mask, expressive dark eyes and a nice full mane.
He has a strong top line, good angulation, excellent feet and a wonderfully
furnished tail. When moving he covers the ground nicely and has excellent
reach and drive. He is a perfect combination of an easygoing, sweet boy at
home and a playful, self confident, athletic, agile boy when out. Cyrus loves
to work and has a great energy for the show and obedience ring. He has an
excellent drive for water work and tracking and has fun carting as well. He
has also passed his Therapy Dogs International test and will hopefully start
on therapy work very soon.
