Quip was the pick male 'Icicle'. Although Amanda and Ben Helps (Cuebiyar Australian Shepherds) had not intended to keep a pup from the 'Icicle' litter, they just fell in love with Quip's loving and sparkling personality and didn't want to let him go. Ben & Amanda have given us the opportunity to see the personality of this wonderful boy up close. Quip now holds a soft spot in my heart and for this I would like to thank them.
Quip is a gorgeous powder blue boy of lovely substance and head type, with angulation and movement to match. This boy is not only sound but also flashy and has been WOWing the judges since his debut.
