This was Calypso's first litter. She is a task trained service dog as well as a registered therapy dog with Love on a Leash, and has no trouble differentiating between service work and therapy work. She has been exposed to stock and herding practice and showed great interest and high drive. She competes in rally, agility and barn hunt. The titles she had at the time of the Space litter were CGCA, CGCU, TKP, ATT, RN, and several more online submission titles through Universal Canine All Stars.
Ace is an AKC conformation champion, Grand champion pointed. He has his rally intermediate, trick dog intermediate, CGCA, barn hunt instinct test, and has points/Qs in many other sports including agility, obedience, and Fast Cat. He is also a therapy dog who specializes in children interaction (schools, libraries, etc). He is one of the sweetest, most even tempered dogs you'll ever meet and doesn’t have a "bad bone" in his body. He is gentle, laid back, low to medium energy level, and has never met a stranger - human or dog!
Ace has a wonderful front, great correct movement, and travels with his head down. Great reach but not overreach. His tail is naturally carried down and has a great croup and tail set. Calypso is a very well put together dog for being working/sport bred and paired with Ace produced very beautiful dogs.
The Space litter was my first and only branch out into conformation lines. The intention for this litter was to create well balanced dogs meant for active pet homes, novice sport homes, and therapy and/or service work. I really like Ace and I wanted to see how a conformation-bred dog would pair with a sporty dog, he and Calypso being very complimentary in a lot of ways. I like a lot of the attributes of the litter but I will not likely be returning to conformation Border Collie lines.
At two years old now (early 2023), the Space litter has matured into very sweet dogs with an average medium drive, some of them being lower and some higher. They have friendly happy go lucky temperaments with all humans, a few have some reactivity towards certain dogs. They have wonderful structure. Some of them have higher arousal than I would prefer to see, but as a whole are moderate in all things. See our Updates page for any new developments on the litter.
