Ghost (C. Smith) BRN: 37564 and Joy (M. Bays) BRN: 40841. We expect excellent working candidates who are healthy, with stable temperaments, high drive, excellent training ability, and big grips.

Thank you, Chris Smith, for allowing us to use Ghost at stud, and Emily Houk for your guidance and recommendation!

Joy is an Ivo III PH1 (H. R. Iedema) daughter with other notable influential dogs in her bloodline, such as Berry II (Lamers), Boy (Backhaus), Rudy (Jansen), Django (van der Doelen), Biko (Jansen), and Wibo (van Leeuwen). She is a substantial-sized female with good bone structure and weighs around 75-80lbs. Joy is incredibly social with people and other animals and can get along with just about anyone. I’m pretty sure she’s never met a stranger in her life. We affectionately refer to her as the dumb blonde of the family.

One of the best qualities of Joy is her rock-solid temperament and stable nerves. Joy takes every situation in stride with confidence and happiness to be there with you. She loves to work for and be with her people. Joy has incredible prey drive, will hunt for a ball all day long, and despite a lack of training in bitework, is incredibly enthusiastic with a strong desire to bite. Her primary job has been to raise puppies, and she has received little formal training.

Joy is 100% medically clear with spine, hip, and elbow x-rays, as well as a clear Embark panel. I’m happy to share those results with anyone who would like to see them. Joy has proven to be an excellent producer over different studs. She has been bred to Tommy (Pegge) multiple times as well as Otto (Wilts). She has successfully produced offspring competing and trialing in KNPV, FR, PSA, and working roles. We expect nothing less from the combination of her and Ghost.
