Rio

Registered Name: Wildwood Rio De La Plata
Kennel Name: "Rio"
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: August 19, 1993
Place of Birth: Marion, Montana
Weight: 60 lbs
Lineage: Son of Russian-born Archie of Archangle

Special Skills: Rio's our most experienced dog and father or grandfather to half of the dogs in our kennel. He is our best ground tracker, and not just for bears. With his appetite, he is also very helpful in finding improperly stored food in campgrounds. He is our "marine." We count on Rio to break in new handlers, show them the ropes and teach them how to shepherd bears.

Education Level: Rio has completed intermediate obedience and earned his Canine Good Citizen Certificate. This certificate reflects Rio's obedience level, the special ability to be affectionate with children, and the temperament to work will with and among the public.

Personality: Rio is very light-hearted and loves people, especially if the people have food. When he is excited, he jumps straight up in the air as high as he can. He is almost always the children's choice because he is such a loveable teddy bear and always gives kisses.
