Enoki

Hershel’s eat your veggies CGC TKI DS DM AFD

If I had to pick one word to describe enoki, it would be intense. She has HIGH toy drive, HIGH food drive, HIGH energy. In work she moves effortlessly between forward aggression and prey. She learned how to switch between drives very quickly and got multiple comments on how fast she picks up on patterns. She develops fast. If you accidentally reward her for a mistake once she will continue offering it, so it takes a little bit to fix bad habits. But in conjunction, if you are an experienced handler and know what you are doing then she will pick up on it immediately, making training a breeze. She is not handler soft at all, it takes a lot for a personal correction. She is also not sensitive to tools. She recovers well and does not take corrections to heart. She has excelled at everything I have thrown at her, dock diving, frisbee, agility, suit sports, sleeve sports, literally EVERYTHING. I would say the hardest thing about training her is that she has a lot of natural possession and doesn't like to share. She has flashy entries, nice grip & is super with pressure. She is dog neutral, people social, low suspicion, good with kids, great with cats, good with livestock. 

Puppies from Enoki will only go to work or sport homes. I expect puppies she produces to be great candidates for AKC sports, IGP, PSA/AS and dual purpose police work. Priority will be given to experienced handlers. I do not think she will produce easy "beginner" sport dogs. 

Enoki will be considered for breeding once she has her official health testing at 2yo AND once she has her IGP1 title or similar. Estimated to be sometime after June 2027.
