Named after none other than Dr. McDreamy from Grey’s Anatomy, Derek lives up to the name with his striking looks, charisma, and undeniable presence. He’s not only a Grand Champion show dog and my first bred-by champion/grand champion, but also a bona fide model — most recently gracing a bag of BilJac dog food with his sweet face and athletic build.
Derek is so much more than his accolades. He’s got an outstanding temperament: trustworthy, loyal, intelligent, drivey, and endlessly biddable. Whether he’s dazzling in the ring, competing in performance sports, posing in front of the camera, or curled up for a cuddle on the couch, Derek is happy-go-lucky and deeply connected — a versatile velcro dog with a fantastic off-switch.
