Litter and program updates
Kittie D.
Program update on 15 Oct. •…Meet Michael, or Mikey-mouse! His mom and dad are GCHB Stoli and GCHS Merlin. Both parents have achieved high accolades in the conformation world and both parents have their CGC titles. Michael is about 11” at the shoulder, so he’s not a pocket papillon. He is honestly the sweetest puppy I’ve ever produced and loves to be snuggled beside me on the sofa or on the floor at my feet. Michael is crate trained and leash trained. His temperament is what I refer to as “soft”, meaning he takes all corrections to heart and he’s cautious of new situations. If you want an extremely self confident and forward dog, this is not Mikey. Mikey would excel at owner focused activities, such as Rally and obedience. He’d probably LOVE fast cat and agility. His litter brother is learning agility now. He will need a fenced yard.
