Our Handsome Stud “Cinch”
Bayside Labs Slick Dapper Dan
CD BN RA TD TDU FDC SWA SHDN CGC TKN FITB FTN
“Cinch” was born on August 6, 2022.
His sire is Ch.Marit Slippry Round the Bend CD MH and his dam is Bayside’s Storm Castaway SH.
Cinch is an amazing dog. In the home, he can be silly, but for the most part, he is an easy house dog to have around. He loves to cuddle, and while outside, he can be a dynamo!
He earned 5 Scent Work titles and his Tracking Dog Urban title at just 1 ½ years! He is coming along nicely with his obedience and rally skills. He is currently competing in Rally and Obedience, and usually comes home with a ribbon or two.
I purchased Cinch from Bayside Labs because they breed for intelligence, which translates to great service dogs!
My 6-year-old granddaughter can handle him easily, walking through a crowd.
