Sprite was born on 4/27/01. He was bred by Sandy McDonald in Gainseville, VA. In his litter, there were 7 puppies. We chose the registered name Moonstone Kindred Spirit in memory of our first beardie, Monty. We acquired Sprite as a companion/performance puppy and he has exceeded our expectations!
Sprite was a beautiful puppy! He started out a lovely dark brown with flashy whites. During his teenage years, he was as white as a ghost but as he matured, his coat returned to a deep rich brown and has a wonderful harsh texture.
Sprite began training in agility when he was 8 months old. I had never heard of agility before but was drawn into it by Sandy McDonald who was already competing with Sprite's half brother, Kip. We made lots of mistakes in the beginning but in spite of that, Sprite has matured into a wonderful agility partner. We do not trial a lot but we qualify frequently.
Sprite is 10 years old now and while he is now in a shorter coat, he is happy, healthy and active. In fact he finished his MACH in Nov, 2011! Sprite is always fun and is everyone's best friend.
