Lochness is much of what I hoped to produce when I first considered breeding. I affectionately refer to her as my Malady clone. She is not only much of what I love about Malady, but also the additional drive, intensity, and edge that I was looking for. Like Malady, she fairs well in the house and doesn't require any excess activity to keep her happy. She is affectionate with people and sturdy in public. She is quick to charm people everywhere she goes with her silly personality.

She is in tune with her handler and will work hard for both food and toys, as well as simple praise. She is a quick study in new behaviors and has already started proving herself in competition, having already stepped in the ring in multiple venues. She is a chipper worker with a complex ability to problem solve. She is appropriately handler sensitive without softness and handles correction with no attitude.

Lochness is slated to take over as my main competition, demo, and service dog as Malady moves towards retirement, and I expect her to fill Mal's shoes beautifully.
