Smartypants Jeepers

This is a motley collection of photos of Jeepers, son of my Ripley Ratso Rix X Little Spot of Red Man. He's adorable, smart, athletic, loving, and the funniest dog I've ever known.

Jeepers got his UKC Novice Agility title in one weekend, and started racking up Qs in NADAC, USDAA, and as soon as Rat Terriers were accepted in January--in AKC Agility. This page will just have to be outdated most of the time. I can't keep up with this dog--including on course!


Jeepers was playing even before he could stand up.

He thinks "stacking" is ridiculous--but is that not the cutest little natural bobtail you ever saw?

The Kangal pups were born a few months later, but quickly grew bigger than Big Brother Jeepers.

Jeepers thinks that he's tougher than Lule, and she's sweet enough to let him have his delusion. She even pretends to be thrown to the ground when he grabs her by the neck. They're great playmates.

Jeepers is athletic, bold, and loves to perform.

Now if I can only learn to be a handler worthy of him... he's going to be one lean, mean, agility machine.

But he's beautiful too... and brilliant, and sensitive. All the good qualities of his mama, but with extra dash and confidence. Can you tell I love this dog?
