I didn't intend keeping a puppy from this litter but the day they went to get microchipped, I was observing them with the Vet, exploring their surrounds. She made the comment that "I hope that puppy is staying" and we both looked at him objectively and agreed that indeed, he should. And so "Risk" has stayed to be part of our show team!
He is such an easy boy to have in the backyard, affectionate and responsive and aware of his surroundings.
He has already had 2 BABY PUPPIES IN GROUP in his 3 weekends of showing.
