Kepler is the grandson of my beloved "once in a lifetime" dog Jeriko, and came to me as a bit of an impulse buy. I just went to see Pluto-Jessi -puppies, but there was something so "Jeriko" about Kepler's expression and character that it captured me right away.

Kepler has been brave and lively from the start, open and social, and quick to learn. He has good nerve control, although now as teenager he seems to have endless energy. He still has the ability to concentrate. Kepler is quite physical in his games and activities, and naturally competitive. Kepler is extremely greedy for food, but also likes to play tug-of-war with just about anyone.

Kepler has been really good at focusing and has a really deep nose when it comes to tracking. In addition to tracking, Kepler has started to do a bit of object searching, where his nose also works well. Kepler has done some sheep herding and has a particular desire to stop/turn and keep them in their tracks.
