Meet Spanky

Spanky is a cheerful, affectionate guy who loves every human and dog he meets — and he'll thank you for belly rubs with enthusiastic kisses. He's smart and eager to please, already solid on sit, down, touch, drop it, and come, and treat-motivated enough to make every training session a breeze. He plays hard with other dogs and hasn't met a toy he doesn't like, but he's just as happy to settle in for snuggle time once the fun is done. Housebroken, crate-trained, and a road-trip fan, Spanky is equally at home on a hiking trail or your couch — best with older kids.

  Spanky's explosive, hard-playing style with other dogs and his love of toys make flyball a natural fit — he's exactly the dog who lights up when a tennis ball is in play and a canine teammate is waiting at the start line. Add his treat-driven eagerness to please and his already-solid recall, and Spanky has every building block a flyball coach dreams of finding in a new recruit.
