ABIGAIL ADAMS

RETIRED DOODLE - never bred.

Annabelle's Abigail Adams lives nearby in Wells, Maine. She has a lovely furry friend that she adores and her guardians are two of the nicest people I have ever met.

The first litter from Nellie and Emmett were adorable and that mating actually produced my first phantom marked puppy that I identified as 'Molly Pitcher'. It seems Nellie likes to whelp on holidays as her first litter was born on July 3rd. I 'nicknamed' all the pups with patriotic names and all but one customer kept those names!  Although I loved Molly, the phantom, she had an underbite so was sold as a pet. Fortunately, Abigail was also a charmer so I certainly lucked out. I do keep trying for that elusive phantom though!  :+)

Although, Abigail has several more tests to pass, the big ones are now behind us and her track to becoming an ADNE momma appears solid.

Well trained and smart.

Full of confidence!

Words from her guardians:

Abigail may be small in size, but she is big in our home and in our hearts.  She greets us every morning with a swiftly wagging tail that hardly stops all day.  Abby enjoys wrestling and playing chase with our older dog, Tucker. Long walks, visits with neighbors (human and canine), chewing on her antler and belly rubs are some of her other much loved activities.  Abby is athletic and her all time favorite pastime is leaping high through the stream of water from the garden hose.  It’s hard to resist her sweet face and exceptionally soft fur, especially when she wants to cuddle, which is often.  She is a great all-around dog – smart, funny and full of joy.  And yes, a bit of mischief as well!

Joyce has been wonderful to work with.  She is open and honest.  Joyce always has time to answer our questions and we were well informed before we took on the role as guardian.  We are so glad we chose to be a guardian home for ADNE.
