Jasper comes from a good litter, but has always been just shy of making the main team. That is, until we needed him as a leader the last couple years. He has many of the attributes of his grand dam, Copper: always ready to go, stress-tolerant, good eater/drinker. Jasper is a pretty good passing leader and likes to bark at the team he is passing. He also has trained young dogs as leaders and led many puppy training runs. He needs to have a bit more speed capability. A good all-round package.
