We are thrilled to have another TNT Border Collie in our family. Ripley is one of 7 boys from the “Flare” TNT Sudden Burst x “Jagger” Bo-Tyne Jagger litter born on April 14, 2007. Ripley is CBCA and AKC Registered. Ripley has grown into a very handsome boy with the sweetest personality. He has incredible work ethic, extremely talented in everything he tries, always will ing to please and has an off-switch! He is a dream to live and work with.
Ripley’s puppies are showing the same excellent work ethic and amazing temperment. We are expecting great things from these puppies.
Thank you to Tiffany Salmon for entrusting us with this incredible boy!
AGILITY
Ripley has turned into an awesome agility dog with tons of speed and an amazing ability to turn over a jump! He is such a fun dog to run and I am looking forward to what 2012 has in store for us. Ripley made his AAC and CKC debuts in late 2009. He is playing in both the Advanced and Masters rings. So far he has earned his Novice Jumper with Weaves (AgNJ) title, Agility Dog of Canada (ADC) title and his Starters Game Dog of Canada (SGDC) title.
He started playing some USDAA in 2011 and earned his DAM Qualifiers for both 2011 and 2012.
FLYBALL
Ripley only gets to play flyball part-time but has proved himself to be a great flyball dog. We are very excited to be a part of Flyball Insanity (FBI) Flyball Team! Ripley made his flyball debut at BR’s U-fli Tournament in April 2010. His best time was a 3.946 in his first tournament. Ripley made his NAFA debut in August 2010 in achor position and ran a flawless weekend with some pretty fast times with the pass. Ripley currently has his Flyball Dog Champion Silver (FDCh-S) title and his Top Flight II (TF-II) title.
DISC DOG
Ripley has proved to be an amazing disc dog. He drives out to the disc, brings it right back for a quick tug and then around he goes for the next throw. Ripley started competing in CDDA Disc Dog trials at 13 months old and easily completed his Basic Disc Dog (BDD) and Disc Dog (DD) Titles in the first 4 trials. He went four for four in the Advanced ring to earn his Advanced Disc Dog (ADD) Title and has also earned his Disc Dog Champion (DDCh) Title. Ripley has also earned his Silver Award in Furthest Catch with a catch of 164’1”!
** Ripley qualified for the USDDN Finals in SuperPro Toss & Fetch in 2009 **
DOCK DIVING
Ripley LOVES the water and is an awesome little retriever. We decided to try Dock Diving with him and after just one lesson he was diving off the dock. He competed in his first competition in 2008 and came away with 2 Novice Q’s. He has continued to gain confidence and is now consistently jumping in the Senior Division. Ripley’s personal best jump in 2011 was 18’2”.
Looking forward to another great season in 2012.
DOG SLEDDING
TNT Team - Baxter and Flare (Rip's mom) in front, Rio (Baxter's mom) and Ripley in wheel, Rick driving.
To keep fit in the winter months Ripley can also be found dog sledding. Like his mother, he has incredible strength and power. Ripley is hoping to get more sledding time now that we have moved to Ottawa.
HERDING
Ripley met sheep when he was just 6 months old. He easily passed his Herding Instinct Test (HIT) and was invited to come back anytime. Ripley was able to get a second chance on sheep in 2010 and did a great job on his second instinct test. We are hoping to get some lessons and see how he does.
2012 BRAGS
We are looking forward to a great year in 2012. Look for Ripley at agility trials, in flyball lanes, jumping into pools and catching discs!
